Attaches to rest of small intestine
Retroperitoneal organ

30
Q

Q

A

Forms distal 3/5 of small intestine
Found in hypogastric region
Intraperitoneal organ
Joins large intestine at ileocecal junction

32
Q

Cecum

A

Receives appendix at the bottome (2-20cm)

Ileocecal valve controls passage between ileum and cecum

33
Q

34
Q

35
Q

A

Found in L lumbar area
Retroperitoneal
Continues as sigmoid colon (intraperitoneal) to rectum in pelvic cavity (retroperitoneal) to anal canal guarded by external anal sphincter

36
Q

Teniae coli

A

3 bands of smooth muscles fibers along large intestine

During contraction, they produce pocket like folds = haustrum

37
Q

Rectum

A

Upper 2/3 is more dilated = ampiola

Distal 1/3 is more narrow and continues with anal canal

38
Q

Anal sphincters

A

Internal anal sphincter: involuntary (smooth muscle fibers, controlled by ANS)
External anal sphincter: volunary (skeletal muscle, controlled by pudendal nerve); control passage of fecal material from rectum to external environment

39
Q

Hemorrhoidal veins

A

Veins are anal canal to shunt blood from portal system to anal system; during pathology of liver, they dilate causing hemorrhoids

40
Q

deep to skin by ear, pierces mucosal membrane of oral cavity against 2nd upper molar, and drains into vestibule of oral cavity
Secretion carried by parotid duct
Controlled by parasympathetic fiber of CNIX

43
Q

Submandibular gland

A

Deep to mandible
Submandibular duct opens to floor of oral cavity behind incisor tooth
Controlled by parasympathetic fiber of CNVII

44
Q

Liver

A

Largest gland

Gallbladder sticks out from inferior border of liver
Porta hepatis in between 2 layers of lesser omentum attaching stomach and liver

46

Ligaments of liver

A

Coronary ligament: peritoneum reflects on itself under diaphragm; attaches superior liver to inferior diaphragm
Falciform ligament: reflection on anterior surface; attaches liver to diaphragm and posterior surface of abdominal wall
Round ligament of liver: remnant of fetal blood vessels which turns into a ligament after birth

47
Q

Surfaces of liver

A

48
Q

Lobes of liver

A

Caudate lobe: contains L side of inferior vena cava
Quadrate lobe: contains L side of gallgladder
Caudate and quadrate lobe are part of L lobe functionally (even though located on the R side of the falciform ligament

49
Q

Gallbladder

A

Pear shaped structure
Receives and dilutes bile from liver, concentrates it, and releases it to 2nd part of duodenum when needed
Composed of fundus, body, neck

50
Q

Process of bile production

A

Liver and duodenum = biliary system
L/R hepatic duct: 2 small bile ducts drain bile from L/R lobe; they join together to form common hepatic duct
Common hepatic duct and cystic duct from gallbladder form common bile duct
L/R hepatic duct and common hepatic duct carry dilute bile from liver, and pass the dilute bile to gallbladder when joining the cystic duct (sphincter at the beginning of the common bile duct preventing passage of dilute bile into duodenum)
Bile goes to gallbladder to become concentrated, and if needed, goes through common bile duct
At the end of common hepatic duct, sphincter prevents passage of concentrated bile back to liver, so it goes to duodenum

51
Q

Pancreas

A

Dual gland with endocrine (hormones) and exocrine (digestive enzymes) secretions; 98% exocrine
Composed of head (almost encircled by duodenum), body (moves L), tail
Tails touches hilum of spleen
Before common bile duct empties bile into duodenum, it joins with pancreatic duct which carries exocrine secretions of pancreas, and will open to 2nd part of duodenum at major duodenal papilla

52
Q

Blood supply for liver and pancreas

A

Branches of celiac artery

53
Q

Nerve supply for liver and pancreas

A

ANS celiac plexus:
Sympathetic fibers - thoracic splanchic nerves
