Lesson 5B (Part 1) Flashcards
At what level is the caval hiatus at?
T8
At what level is the IVC still embedded in the liver?
T9
What veins are visible at T9? (3)
- Left hepatic vein
- Right hepatic vein
- IVC
What part of the stomach is visible at T9?
The fundus
What do we see a lot of in T9? What does it look like? (In and CT/MRI)
- Lot of air
- due to the lungs - Looks black
What are the main structures you see at T10? (3)
- Liver
- Stomach
- Spleen
What does the falciform ligament do at T10?
It attaches the anterior surface of the liver to the anterior abdominal wall
What junction is visible at T10?
EGJ
What is touching the diaphragm in T10?
The bare area of the liver
What do you also normally see when you see the spleen?
The kidneys
What begins to form at T11?
The porta hepatis
Where is the portal vein in comparison to the hepatic ducts/arteries?
Its posterior
Which is more lateral at T11, the hepatic ducst to the hepatic arteries?
Ducts
- because it is coming from the gallbladder (which is more lateral), where the arteries are coming from the heart (which is more medial)
Where does the caudate lobe sit at T11?
- Anterior to the IVC
2. Posterior to the portal vein
In a transverse section through the upper abdomen, what vessels are anterior to the IVC? (2)
- Portal vein
2. Hepatic vein
At T10, what lobe of the liver is between the IVC and the ligamentum venosum?
Caudate lobe
From the porta hepatis, which vessel is more posterior, anterior (L/M) and in the middle?
- Posterior = portal vein
- Anterior (L) = hepatic ducts
- Anterior (M) = hepatic artereis
At T12 what is the gallbladder inferior to?
The porta hepatis
What lays on either side of the quadrate lobe at T12?
- Gallbladder
- Ligamentum teres
- round ligament
At what abdominal line does the celiac trunk start to arise from the aorta?
The transpyloric line at T12
What part of the pancreas can be seen at T12?
The tail
Where is the duodenum compared to the gallbladder at L1/L2?
Medial
What 2 things can you see on the pancreas at L1/L2?
- GDA
- anterior - CBD
- posterior
What forms the portal confluence? (2)
- SMV
2. Splenic vein
Where is the left renal vein in comparison to the aorta?
Anterior
Where is the left renal vein compared to the SMA?
Posterior
What flexure become evident at L1/L2?
The splenic flexure
- higher up due to the liver pushing the hepatic flexure lower down
What side of the body is the descending / ascending colon at?
- Descending colon = left side
2. Ascending colon = right side
What is between the galbladder and the ligamentum teres, in a transverse section?
The quadrate lobe
