Blood supply: Celiac trunk and corresponding veins

37

39
Q

Pyloric stenosis

A

A narrowing of the opening from the stomach to the first part of the small intestine (the pylorus)

40
Q

Blood supply to the jejunum and ileum

A

Vasa recta

Arterial arcades

41
Q

Colic flexures

A

Right colic flexure (hepatic flexure)

  • sharp bend between the ascending colon and the transverse colon
  • Receives blood supply from the superior mesenteric artery.

Left colic flexure (splenic flexure)

  • sharp bend between the transverse colon and the descending colon.
  • watershed region as it receives dual blood supply from the terminal branches of the superior mesenteric artery and the inferior mesenteric artery
    • thus making it prone to ischemic damage in cases of low blood pressure because it does not have its own primary source of blood.
42
Q

Meckel’s Diverticulum

A
  • Most common congenital abnormality of the same intestine
  • Caused by an incomplete obliteration of the vitelline duct
43

Omphalomesenteric duct

  • Cortonary ligament
    • Superior leaf
    • Inferior leaf
    • Hepatorenal ligament
    • Right triangular ligament
    • Left triangular ligament
  • Lesser Omentum
    • Hepatogastric ligament
    • Hepatoduodenal ligament
46
Q

Liver formation

A
  1. As the hepatic diverticulum branches into ventral mesentery to form the biliary tree, it extends cranially into the septum transversum
    1. ​​​A layer of tissue between the heart and the midgut that forms part of the diaphragm
  2. The caudal part of the septum transversum is invaded by the hepatic diverticulum, which divides within it to form the liver and this gives rise to the ventral mesentary of the foregut

REMEMBER: The ventral mesentery is precursor to the lesser omentum, the visceral peritoneum of the liver and the falciform ligament

47

A cutaneous manifestation of increased portal venous pressure that is a sign of severe portal hypertension

53
Q

How can caput medusa be treated?

A

Managing the underlying medical condition, which is most likey cirrhosis or liver cancer

54
Q

How are caput medusa veins formed?

A
  • Due to shunting of blood from liver circulation to the systemic circulation via the veins surrounding the umbilicus
  • Increased liver pressures force the blood to drain through a new route via the paraumbilical veins
    • The paraumbilical veins are not naturally equipped to receive such high volumes of blood so they become distended and engorged forming a sunburst pattern of vessels radiating around the umbilicus
55
Q

Visceral pain, mediated by ___________, results from increased intraluminal pressure and distention caused sudden calculous obstruction of cystic or common duct.

A

Splanchnic nerve

56
Q

Exocrine function of the kidneys

A
  • Secretes pancreatic juice which breaks down all categories of foodstuff
  • Acini (clusters of secretory cells) contain zymogen granules with digestive enzymes
57
Q

Endocrine function of the pancreas

A

Release of insulin and glucagon

58
Q

Role of the spleen

A
  • Synthesizes antibodies in its white pulp
  • Removes antibody-coated bacteria along with antibody-coated blood cells by way of blood and lymph node circulation
  • Removes old red blood cells and holds a reserve of blood in case of hemorrhagic shock
  • Recycles iron

NOTE: The spleen is a secondary lymphoid organ, but does not have lymph nodes, just nodules

59
Q

What are the components of the peritoneum of the spleen?

A
  • Gastrosplenic ligament
  • Lienorenal (splenorenal) ligament
  • Phrenicocolic ligament

NOTE: The spleen develops within the dorsal mesentery of foregut, so it is embedded within the greater omentum, and its adult derivative.
