lecture 3 liver portal system Flashcards
dorsal mesogastrium
pancreas develops; liver develops in ventral mesogastrium
revision slide of embryo at 5th week
slide 2; left lateral sagittal view: bare area means in direct contact with inferior surface of diaphragm (not enclosed in visceral peritoneum of liver)
transverse view of mesenteries in relation to stomach, liver, spleen from top
posterior peritoneum → splenorenal ligament → spleen → gastrosplenic ligament → stomach (lesser curvature) → lesser omentum (gastrohepatic and hepatoduodenal ligaments) → liver → falciform ligament → anterior peritoneum
where does liver develop
ventral foregut mesentery
what does the bare area of the liver have contact with
right dome of diaphragm - no visceral peritoneum
surface anatomy of liver
deep to ribs 7-11, mostly under cover of ribs, extends across right and left hypochrondrium and epigastrium; palpate on right hypochondriac region but can’t palpate normally as under costal margin (epigastrium under rectus abdominis)
what does the falciform ligament separate
2 anatomical lobes of liver
what protrudes out of falciform ligament anteriorly and what is it a remnant of
ligamentum teres, obliterated fibrous remnant of the left umbilical vein
what divides liver into 2 main lobes and 2 accessory lobes
peritoneal reflections
what ligament is present superiorly on left lobe
left triangular ligament
what ligament is present superiorly on right lobe
coronary ligament
4 lobes of liver
right, left, quadrate (anterior, right of fissure for ligamentum teres), caudate (posterior, right of fissure for ligamentum teres); both quadrate and caudate are accessory lobes on right side of liver
3 sections of gall bladder
fundus, body, neck
what divides functional (vascular) lobes of liver
imaginary line between inferior vena cava and gall bladder (left hepatic artery and right hepatic artery supply just 1 lobe separately)
quadrate and caudate
caudate gets blood supply from both arteries, quadrate only receives from left hepatic artery
lobule structure
portal triad (hepatic artery branch, portal vein branch, bile ducts), sinusoids, central veins to hepatic veins, 1/3rd = 1/2 acinus
liver segments - can remove one without damaging others
I-VIII, each with own blood, venous supply, inferior vena cava, left, intermediate and right hepatic veins, right and left branches of hepatic artery, portal triad, gallbladder
what mark separation of liver into functional right and left lobes
gall bladder, inferior vena cava
what marks out minor parts of functional left lobe
grooves for foetal veins (from ligamentum teres) into quadrate and caudate lobes
what separates quadrate and caudate lobes
porta of liver (carries several structures)
what does the porta carry
hepatic artery, portal vein, common bile duct, lymphatics
