Liver, Gall Bladder, and Stomach Flashcards
Location of liver
RUQ, right hypochondriac, epigastric and left hypochondriac
enclosed by tight fibrous capsule of CT
Glisson’s capsule
Fxn of liver
Glycogen storage
Bile secretion
all nutrients absrobed from the digestive tract are conveyed to the liver via the
portal venous system
accumulates between meals and is stored in the gall bladder
bile
Extends from the umbilical notch on the inferior surface of the porta hepatis
Falciform ligament
Right leaflet of the falciform ligament becomes
the coronary ligament
Left leaflet of the falciform ligament becomes
Left triangular ligament
The right and left leaflets bear the
ligamentum teres or round ligament
Coronary ligament layers and where they are attached
Superior layer: superior surface on to the inferior surface of diaphragm
Inferior: psoterior surface of the R. lobe of liver to the R. kidney, R. suprarenal gland and IVC, aka Hepatorenal ligament
Where the upper and lower layers of the coronary ligament fuse
R. Triangular ligament
Left lobe of the liver connected to the undersurface of the diaphragm
Left Triangular Ligament, joins the lesser omentum
The obliterated umbilical vein
Ligamentum teres hepatis or round ligament
Forms the free border of the falciform ligament
Ligamentum teres hepatis or round ligament
round ligament becomes continuous with
ligamentum venosum, remnant of the fetal ductus venosus
remnant of fetal ductus venosus
Ligamentum venosum
shunts blood from the umbilis vein to the IVC
ductus venosus/ligamentum venosum
Gastrohelpatic ligament and hepatoduodenal ligament
porta hepatis
Fissures of the Liver
H - must know them
Porta hepatis contains the ff:
Anterior: common hepatic duct
Middle - hepatic artery
Posterior - portal vein
T/F Right and Left lobes do not communicate
True, they have their own arterial supply, venous and biliary drainage
Connects the caudate and the right lobe
caudate process
The subphrenic space is found in what surfaceof the liver
Anterosuperior
Bare are of the liver and the suprarenal impression is found in what surface?
Posterosuperior
extension of the subhepatic space, lying between the rifht part of the visceral surface of the liver, the right kidney and the suprarenal gland
Hepatorenal Recess/pouch, or Morrison’s Pouch
The groove for IVC passes towards
central tendon of the diaphragm
Vascular supply of the liver
Hepatic artery - carries O2 rich blood
Hepatid portal vein - carries venous blood
Renal, Phrenic, Lumbar and Intercostal veins
The liver has a double blood supply
Hepatic artery - 20-25%
Hepatic portal vein - 70-80%
The Hepatic Artery is a branch of
the celiac trunk
Formed by the union o fthe superior mesenteric and splenic veins
Hepatic portal vein
