Lecture 27: Gross Anatomy of the Paraalimentary Tract Flashcards
What are the para-alimentary structures?
- Salivary Glands
- Liver
- Pancreas
- Appendix
- Spleen
What are the three salivary glands?
- PAR-otid gland
- Submandibular
- Sublingual
What cranial nerve innervates the parotid gland?
CN IX
What cranial nerve looks like it innervates the parotid but actually doesn’t?
CN 5 5 branches Temporal Zygomatic Buccal Mandibular Cervical Two Zebras Bit My Cookie
Where does the liver develop?
In the ventral mesentery
Rotates horizontally to the right
What does the ventral pancreatic bud form?
The head of the pancreas
What is the falciform ligament?
Remnant of the ventral mesentery from embryology
What is the porta hepatis?
Gate of the liver Triad of structures 2 hepatic ducts (common bile duct) Hepatic artery Portal vein
What are the 4 compartments of the liver?
- right lobe
- left lobe
- caudate lobe (superior)
- quadrate lobe (inferior)
What are the 8 hepatic segments?
Segment I = caudate lobe
Segment II and III = left lobe
Segment IV = quadrate lobe
Segment V –VIII = right lobe
What is the anatomic border of the liver?
Separates left lobe from caudate and quadrate lobe
What is the functional border?
Separates right lobe from caudate and quadrate lobe
What is the significance of the 8 resectable hepatic segments?
Each segment have their own arterial supply and biliary drainage
What are the two blood supplies of the liver?
- hepatic artery 25%
2. Portal vein 75%
Where did the ventral pancreatic bud come from?
It was part of the BILIARY apparatus
That’s why the head of the pancreas is attached to the common bile duct via the ampulla ov Vater
