Parker SG Flashcards
What plane lies at the level of the L1-L2 vertebra?
Transpyloric
What vertebral level corresponds to the transumbilical plane?
L3-L4
Name all of the retroperitoneal structures.
SAD PUCKER Suprarenal Glands (R/L) Aorta and IVC Duodenum (except 1st part) Pancreas (except tail) Ureters Colon (ascending, descending only) Kidneys Esophagus Rectum
What ribs protect the spleen?
Left ribs 9-11
What are the contents of the lienorenal ligament?
- Pancreas and Distal Splenic Vessels
What vertebral level marks the beginning of the celiac trunk?
L1
NOTE: this is just ABOVE the transpyloric plane
What three branches arise from the celiac trunk?
Left gastric
Common Hepatic
Splenic aa.
What artery of the celiac trunk supplies the fundus of the stomach, explain the branching?
- Short gastric a. supplies the fundus
- Branching:
Celiac trunk –> Splenic a. –> Short gastric
T or F: the distal branches of the splenic a. are in lienorenal ligament with the tail of the pancreas
True
What artery is posterior to the first part of the duodenum?
Gastroduodenal a.
Susceptable to posterior duodenal ulcers
T or F: the common hepatic artery is in the hepatoduodenal ligament.
False, the proper hepatic is part of the hepatoduodenal ligament
What is the relationship between the R and L gastoepiploic aa?
- Anastomose with each other in the gastrocolic ligament of the greater omentum
What fetal remnant is located in the inferior free border of the falciform ligament?
Ligamentum teres (obliterated umbilical vein)
what ligament would you cut in order to cut the portal triad?
hepatoduodenal ligament
The hepatoduodenal ligament brings the portal triad to what part of the liver?
Porta Hepatis
What two veins come together to form the hepatic portal vein and where does this happen?
Splenic v. and SMV
- INFERIOR TO THE NECK OF THE PANCREAS
Describe the branching of the bile system from the gallbladder, liver, and pancreas to the duodenum.
- R and L hepatic form common hepatic, these combine with the cystic duct from the gallbladder to create the common bile duct, the common bile duct is intersected by the MAIN pancreatic duct to make the AMPULLA before it enters the second part of the duodenum
What is the point of entry into the duodenum of the common bile duct called?
Duodenal Papilla
What structures mark the functional division between R and L parts of the liver?
The IVC and Gallbladder
T or F: the neck of the gallbladder is in the transpyloric plane.
False, the FUNDUS of the gallbladder is in the transpyloric plane
What 4 things does the gallbladder come into contact with?
- Liver
- Duodenum
- Transverse Colon
- Diaphragm (anterior abdominal wall)
You are stabbed at the transpyloric plane at the midline, is your duodenum at risk?
- NO, the duodenum lies one inch to the RIGHT of the midline at start and ends one inch to the LEFT of the midline
A perforated duodenal ulcer and the posterior side is most likely to injure what artery?
Gastroduodenal a.
T or F: the 3rd part of the duodenum is in the transpyloric plane
False, the 1st part of the duodenum is in the transpyloric plane and the 4th part is pretty close to being in it as well
What part of the duodenum receives the ampulla?
2nd pt. at the duodenal papilla
What bridges the 4th part of the duodenum to the diaphragm?
- Suspensory muscle of the diaphragm from RIGHT CRUS of diaphragm
- Happens at the duodenojejunal junction
What structures are located in the “nutcracker” and what makes the “nutcracker?”
- Left renal artery
- 3rd part of the duodenum
- Uncinate process of pancreas
What parts of the duodenum are in contact with the pancreas?
1st, 2nd, and 3rd parts
