17
Q

What does the inner lining of the stomach contain?

A

Rugae to increase SA and motility

18
Q

Describe the blood supply to the various stomach regions;

A

Lesser curviture = Left gastric (celiac trunk) and right gastric (common hepatic) anastomose

Greater curviture = Left gastro-omental (splenic) and right gastro-omental (Gastro-duodenal (from common hepatic)) anastomose

Fundus = Short gastric (Splenic)

19
Q

Where does the omentum hang off?

A
20
Q

Describe the passage of the duodenum in relation to other structures;

A
21
Q

Describe which parts of the duodenum are peritoneal and the change in neurovascular supply;

A

1st part = intraperitoneal

2,3,4 = Reteroperitoneal

Halfway aong duodenum it transitions to midgut origin therefore blood, nerves, lymphatics change.

22
Q

Describe the neurovacular supply of the duodenum;

A

Art;

Sup. half; Superior pancreaticoduodenal branches from duodenal art. -> Celiac trunk

Inf. half; Inferior pancreaticoduodenal branches from SMA

Nerve;

Sup; Celiac plexus @ T12

Inf; SMA @ L1

Venous;

Sup; Direct to portal vein

Inf; Superior mesenteric vein

Lymp;

Sup; Pre-aortic celiac nodes @ T12

Inf; Pre-aortic Sup. Mesenteroc nodes @ L1

23
Q

Whats the neurovascular supply of the midgut;

A

Art. = SMA @L1

Venous; SMV

Nerve; SMP @L1

Lymph; Pre aortic nodes @L1 (SMN)

24
Q

Where is pain from the midgut referred to?

A

Umbillical region

25
Q

Write some notes on the midgut SI;

A
26
Q

How can you use the arterial pattern to identify the Jejunum and ilium;

A

Jejunum; 1 or 2 aracades with long branches

Ilium; More arcades with many small branches

27
Q

Describe the neurovascular supply to the jejunum and ilium;

A
28
Q

Where does the midgut to hindgut transition occur?

A
29
Q

Whats the function of the large intestine?

A
30
Q

What are some gross features of the large intestine;

A
31
Q

Describe the surface anatomy in relation to LI;

A
32
Q

Describe the arterial supply of the large intestine;

A

Midgut/ SMA @ L1

  • Ceacal and appendicular art, from ilioceacal
  • Ascending colon = Right colic a.
  • Proximal 2/3 trans colon = middle and marginal a.

Hindgut/IMA @ L3 =

  • Distal 1/3 trans colon = Marginal and left colic. a
  • Descending colon = Left colic a.
  • Sigmoid colon = Sigmoid art.

marginal art = anastamotic point b/w sup and inf mesenteric art.

33
Q

Describe the neurovascular supply of the hindgut;

A

Art. = IMA @L3

Venous; IMV

Nerve; IMP @L3

Lymph; Pre aortic nodes @L3 (IMN)

34
Q

Where does the rectum start?

A
35
Q

Describe the transition to the anal canal from the rectum;

A

Pierces pelvic diaphragm at tip of coccyx to become anal canal

36
Q

Describe the peritoneal nature of the anal canal;

A
  • Sup. 1/3 = Viscera; peritoneum on Ant. and Post.
  • Middle 1/3 = Peritoneum on ant. only
  • Inf 1/3 = Infraperitoneal
37
Q

Describe the art. supply of the anus;

A

Sup. rectal = IMA @ L3 (majority)

Middle = Branch of internal iliac

Inferior rectal = Branch of pudendal

38
Q

Describe the portal system anastomoses that occurs from the rectal veins;

A
39
Q

Describe the ANS of the gut;

A
40
Q

Whats an important note about the PSNS to the gut?

A
41
Q

Describe the sympathetic supply to the gut regions;

A

Foregut -> Celiac plexus -> Greater splanchnic (T5-9)

Midgut->SMP->Lesser splanchnic (T10-11)

Hindgut->IMN & Sup. hypogastric-> Lumbar/sacral splachnic (L1-2)

42
Q

Describe how the pain of an appendicitis varies;

A
  • Inflammed appendix
  • Afferent sympathetics refer back to T10-11 dermatome (Broad pain around the umbilical region)
  • Appendix inflammes and englarges touching the parietal peritoneum on the body wall (Somatic sensory supply)
  • Pain now felt as acute and localised to R. inguanal
