Organ by Organ Flashcards
Function of abdominal esophagus:
conduit for food
Function of Stomach and Duodenum:
Digestion
Function of small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum):
Absorption
Function of colon:
resorption of water, storage of stool
Opening through which the aorta reaches the abdomen from the thorax:
- aortic hiatus
- between the diaphragm and vertebral column
Opening through which the IVC reaches the abdomen from the thorax:
- caval hiatus
- opening in the central tendon of the diaphragm
Opening through which the esophagus reaches the abdomen from the thorax:
- esophageal hiatus (around T10)
- opening in muscle of the diaphragm
Label all:
The two types of hiatal hernias:
- sliding type
- paraesophageal type
Sliding type hiatal hernia:
- Abdominal esophagus, cardia, and parts of fundus in thorax
- regurgitation occurs
Paraesophageal type hiatal hernia:
- Cardia in normal position
- Fundus in thorax
- No regurgitation
Which type of hiatal hernia does regurgitation occur?
- sliding type
- diaphragm/esophageal sphincter relationship altered
What type of hiatal hernia is this?
sliding type
What type of hiatal hernia is this?
paraesophageal type
The four parts of the stomach:
- cardia
- fundus
- body
- pyloric part (antrum, canal, pylorus)
Location of stomach cardia:
- surrounds cardial orifice where esophagus enters the stomach
Location of stomach fundus:
- extends from diaphragm to cardial orifice (where esophagus enters)
Location of stomach body:
- between fundus and pyloric antrum
The three parts of the stomach pyloric part:
- Antrum
- Canal
- Pylorus (sphincteric region)
The pyloric canal connects:
stomach to duodenum
The two smooth muscle layers of the digestive system, with the exception of the stomach:
- outer longitudinal
- inner circular
The three smooth muscle layers of the stomach:
- outer longitudinal
- middle circular
- inner oblique
Muscle and function of the pyloric sphincter:
- thickening of middle circular smooth muscle
- controls passage of food from stomach to duodenum
Arterial supply of stomach:
- left gastric and right gastric
- right gastro-omental and left gastro-omental
- short gastrics
Label all:
Arterial supply to lesser curvature of stomach:
right gastric and left gastric anastomosis
Arterial supply to greater curvature of stomach:
- right gastroomental and left gastroomental anastomosis
Arterial supply to fundus of stomach:
short gastric arteries
The poorest collateral blood supply in the stomach is in the area of:
- fundus
- short gastric arteries
Venous drainage of stomach:
portal venous system
The four parts of the duodenum:
- First: superior (L1).
- Second: descending.
- Third: horizontal (L3).
- Fourth – ascending (back to L2).
