29
Q

What is the Sagittal peritoneal fold/reflection spanning between anterior abdominal wall and liver in the region above the umbilicus?

A

Falciform ligament

30
Q

The inferior, thickened edge of the falciform ligament.

A

Ligamentum Teres (Round L of liver)

31
Q

The Ligamentum Teres (Round L of liver) contains fetal remnant of what structure?

A

Umbilical vein

32
Q

What is mesentary?

A

Double layer of peritoneum connecting intraperitoneal organ to posterior abdominal wall and spans distance between parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum.

NOTE: again think of the lateral folding that occurs in fetal development

33
Q

What is contained in mesentary?

A

CT with blood vessels, lymphatics, nerves, lymph nodes and fat - neurovasculature passing from body wall to intraperitoneal organ

34
Q

What is omentum?

A

Double layer of peritoneum spanning from stomach and/or proximal duodenum to
adjacent organs

35
Q

What double layer of peritoneum spans from lesser curvature of stomach and proximal duodenum to liver?

A

Lesser omentum

36
Q

The lesser omentum is the adult remnant of what embryonic structure?

A

Ventral mesentary

37
Q

Thin membrane spanning from liver to lesser curvature of stomach

A

Hepatogastric L

38
Q

The thickened right side free edge of lesser omentum that spans from liver to proximal duodenum and surrounds portal triad

A

Hepatoduodenal L

39
Q

What is included in the portal triad?

A

Hepatic Portal V, Proper Hepatic A, Common Bile Duct

40
Q

The double layer of peritoneum that hangs from greater curvature of stomach and then
folding back on itself to attach to transverse colon

A

Greater omentum

41
Q

The greater omentum is the exult remnant of what embryonic structure?

A

Dorsal mesentary

42
Q

What is the function of the greater omentum?

A
  • Prevents abdominal viscera from adhering to anterolateral wall
  • Wraps itself around inflamed organs to protect other viscera

NOTE: Sometimes referred to as the “abdominal policeman”

43
Q

What is the gastrocolic ligament and where is it located?

A

The largest portion of greater omentum that spans from greater curvature of stomach to transverse colon and drapes over small intestine

44
Q

Where is the gastrosplenic ligament located?

A

Spans from greater curvature of stomach to spleen

45
Q

Where is the gastrophrenic ligament located?

abdominal wall

A

Paracolic gutters

56
Q

What is the function of the paracolic gutters?

A
  • Provides communication between supracolic and infracolic compartments

NOTE: they make convenient avenues for spread of infection (ascites) or cancerous cells

57
Q

The small portion of peritoneal cavity posterior to stomach and lesser omentum

A

Lesser sac (omental bursa)

58
Q

Describe the location of the Lesser sac (omental bursa)

A

Posterior to stomach and lesser omentum

Q

What is the epiploic foramen (AKA omental foramen, foramen of Winslow)

A

A point of communication between greater and lesser sac, located posterior to hepatoduodenal ligament

60
Q

What structures are located anterior to the epiploic foramen?

A

Proper hepatic artery
Common bile duct
* all surrounded by hepatoduodenal ligament

61
Q
