Q

What parts of the GI tract make up the hindgut and what is the arterial supply?

A
  • Splenic flexure to anus

- IMA

35
Q

What makes up the proximal 2/5 of the small intestines?

A

Jejunum

- so the ileum is the longest part

36
Q

What anatomical features help to differentiate the jejunum from the other parts of the SI?

A
  • More absorptive, Thicker walls
  • translucent mesentery (less fat) and larger windows
  • only two tiers of arteries (arcades)
37
Q

What is the longest part of the small intestines?

A
  • Ileum (distal 3/5)
38
Q

What anatomical features help to differentiate the ileum from other parts of the SI?

A
  • Thinner, less absorptive walls
  • Mesentery is more fatty
  • more extensive arterial arcades
39
Q

Where does the large intestine begin?

A

At the cecum

40
Q

What parts of the large intestine are intraperitoneal?

A

Transverse and Sigmoid

41
Q

Is there collateral circulation to the large intestine, if so what is it?

A
  • Yes

- This is provided by the marginal a.

42
Q

What are 3 distinguishing features of the large intestine?

A
  1. Tenia coli (large longitudinal bands of muscle)
  2. Haustra (“pouches”)
  3. Appendices epipcolae (little appendages of fat)
43
Q

Where is McBurney’s point and what does it approximate?

A
  • 1/3 of the way up on a line drawn from ASIS to the Umbilicus
  • Marks the ileocecal junction
44
Q

Why is McBurney’s point clinically important?

A
  • it becomes tender in appendicitis
45
Q

At what vertebral level does the abdominal aorta bifurcate into the R and L common illiac arteries?

A

L4

46
Q

Where is the inferior vena cava formed and by what?

A
  • L5, by the R and L common iliac veins
