Q

what is the function of the mesentery

A

attaches the jejenum and ileum to the body wall and allows passage of blood vessels, nerves and lymph but also allows the intestines to move within the abdominal cavity during digestion

28
Q

what is the function of the appendices epiploicae

A

fat store - range in size from person to person

29
Q

what is the teniae coli

A

longitudinal muscle collected into 3 bands on the large intestine

30
Q

give 3 differences in wall of small and large intestine

A

small has no fatty tags//large does
wall of small looks smooth // large has haustra
small is a continuous layer of smooth muscle // large has teniae coli

31
Q

function of the large intestine

A

absorb water and electrolytes

store undigested material until expelled from body

32
Q

yes small mesoappendix mesentery

44
Q

what are 2 functions of appendix

A

small bacterial store

46
Q

the appendicular artery is a branch of what

A

ileocolic artery

47
Q

what is the venous drainage of the appendix

A

small vein that drains into the posterior caecal vein

48
Q

pain from appendix is referred where

A
