Q

porta hepatis

A
  • hepatic portal vein: receives blood from stomach, intestines, pancreas, and spleen, and carries it into liver through the porta hepatis
  • proper hepatic artery: continuation of the common hepatic artery, a branch of the celiac trunk
  • common hepatic duct: tube that carries bile from liver
17
Q

liver blood supply

A

blood supply:
- portal vein: deoxygenated blood containing nutrients (GI tract), deoxygenated blood containing nutrients (so it can filter toxins by going back to your heart). blood vessel that carries blood from GI, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen to liver
- proper hepatic artery: oxygenated blood from the heart. continuation of the common hepatic artery, a branch of the celiac trunk
venous drainage:
- hepatic veins: drains low o2 blood into the IVC

18
Q

hepatic blood flow summary

A

hepatic blood flow is the blood flow to and from the liver, responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to the liver cells and removing waste products from the liver

  1. oxygenated blood from hepatic artery or nutrient-rich deoxygenated blood from portal vein go into…
  2. hepatic sinusoids
  3. central vein
  4. hepatic veins
  5. IVC
19
Q

liver roles in digestion

A
  • metabolic reg
  • bile production
  • detoxification
  • storage
20
Q

the liver receives blood from the…

A

hepatic artery and portal vein

21
Q

RUQ

A

inferior surface of liver
gallbladder fossa

22
Q

gallbladder

A

function: stores and concentrates bile before release into the duodenum
- cystic duct
- neck
- body
- fundus

23
Q

biliary tree

A

series of ducts that transport bile from liver to small intestine, aids in digestion and absorption of fats

  1. L and R hepatic ducts
  2. common hepatic duct
  3. cystic duct: bidirectional flow
  4. bile duct
  5. accessory pancreatic duct
  6. pancreatic duct
  7. hepatopancreatic ampulla
24
Q

what does bile do

A
  • emulsifies fat breaks down fat into smaller molecules that can be absorbed during digestion
  • bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder and released into the duodenum
  • 3 organs associated with bile
25
Q

bile: for liver to duodenum

A

hepatocytes produce bile -> bile canaliculi -> small bile ducts
-> right or left hepatic duct ->common hepatic duct -> cystic duct or bile duct -> if bile duct then to the -> hepatopancreatic ampulla -> duodenum

26
Q

the cystic duct and the ______ join to form the bile duct

A

common hepatic duct

27
Q

peritoneum

A

double-layered serous membrane:
- parietal peritoneum: lines walls of the abdominopelvic cavity
- visceral peritoneum: lines organs in the abdominopelvic cavity
- space between parietal and visceral layers = peritoneal cavity

28
Q

organ classification

A
  • intraperitoneal organs: completely covered by visceral peritoneum (JIGS CLS - jejunum, ileum, gallbladder, stomach, colon, liver, spleen)
  • retroperitoneal organs: covered anteriorly by parietal peritoneum (PAR DUCK - pancreas, rectum/anus, adrenal glands, duodenum, ureters, colon, kidneys)

intraperitoneal organs are mobile, retroperitoneal organs are fixed to the posterior abdominal wall

29
Q

intraperitoneal organs

A
  • colon (transverse, sigmoid)
  • spleen
  • stomach
  • jejunum
  • ileum
  • liver
  • gallbladder
    covered by visceral peritoneum
30
Q

retroperitoneal organs

A
  • duodenum
  • pancreas
  • colon (ascending, descending)
  • rectum and anal canal
  • kidneys and adrenal glands
  • ureters
    covered by parietal peritoneum
31
Q

peritoneal folds

A
  • greater omentum: attaches stomach to small intestine and transverse colon
  • lesser omentum: attaches stomach and duodenum to the liver
  • falciform ligament: attaches liver to anterior abdominal wall and diaphragm
  • mesentery: anchors jejunum and ileum to posterior abdominal wall
  • mesocolon: anchors transverse and sigmoid colon to posterior abdominal wall
    (double-fold of visceral peritoneum)
32
Q

which organs are retroperitoneal?
a) spleen, rectum, kidney
b) pancreas, rectum, kidney
c) pancreas, spleen, kidney

A

b) pancreas, rectum, kidney

33
Q

structures

A
  • mouth: saliva is secreted by the major salivary glands, which lubricates food. through mastication, food is mixed with saliva and shaped into a soft, flexible mass called a bolus
  • esophagus: is a collapsible, muscular tube that connects the pharynx to the stomach. it passes a bolus into the stomach by peristalsis.
  • stomach: connects the esophagus to the duodenum
    accessory organs
    small intestine: extends from the pyloric sphincter to the ileocecal junction. it is divided into three parts; duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
    large intestine: extends from the ileocecal junction to the anus. its regions include the cecum, ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid colon, rectum, and anal
34
Q

Function review

A
  1. ingestion: involves taking foods and liquids into the mouth (eating)
  2. secretion: cells within the walls of digestive canal and accessory digestive organs secrete water, acid, buffers, and enzymes into the lumen of the digestive canal
  3. motility: alternating contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle in the walls of the digestive canal mix food and secretions and move them toward the anus
  4. digestion: the breakdown down of ingested food by the teeth, stomach, and small intestine into small molecules for use by body cells
  5. absorption: entrance of ingested and secreted fluids, and the products of digestion into the cells lining the lumen of the digestive canal. absorbed substances circulate throughout the body
  6. defecation: wastes, indigestible substances, bacteria, cells sloughed from the lining of the digestive canal, and digested materials that were not absorbed leave the body through the anus as feces
35
Q

which major artery supplies blood to the head of the pancreas?

A

superior mesenteric artery

36
Q

what does the mesentery bind too

A

binds the jejunum and ileum to the posterior abdominal wall

37
Q

the portal vein carries…

A

deoxygenated, nutrient-rich blood from the GI tract
