Peritoneal cavity 1 Flashcards
what are the boundaries of the abd cavity?
from the inferior thraoacc aperture to pelvic inlet
what are the two layers of peritonium?
pariteal and viceral
what is the purpsoe of the peritonium?
wraps around the alimentary canal closing most of the viscera off fro the abdomen wall.
the only connection to te abdomen wall is via the mesentery
what is the peritoneum made off?
single layer of the squamous epithelial called mesothelium. This is supported by the AREOLAR connective tissue.
VISCERAL - wraps around te viscera
PARIETAL is near the bad wall.
Ectoderm, endoderm, mesoderm form which tissues?
Ectoderm - NS and skin, oral epithelial, distal anal epithelia
Mesoderm - muscles and bones; vascularture, heart, connective tissue, smooth muscles, kidney, spleen, urogenetial tract
Endoderm - Gut, epithelium, liver and panreas
what happens around week 4 in the development process?
The ectoderm and parietal mesoderm wrap around the endoderm and visceral mesoderm.
As they fold, the space between them becomes the coelomic cavity. -> LOOK AT THE SLIDE 12 OF THE SURG SOC GUT SLIDES.
The result is a tube inside a tube.
The inner tube is the gut tube, surrounded by visceral mesoderm.
The outer tube is body tube.
what are the arteries which supply the FG, MG and HG?
Celiac artery
Superior mesenteric artery
Infer mesenteric artery
what are the divisions of the GI tract?
FOREGUT - Distal 3rd of oesophagus to the 2nd half of the duodenum at the entrance of the bile duct (Major duodenal papilla).
Coeliac artery
Midgut – 2nd half of the duodenum to 2/3 along transverse colon.
Superior Mesenteric artery
Hindgut – Distal 1/3 of transverse colon to the rectum (pectinate line).
Inferior Mesenteric artery
deacribe the features of the foregut?
has a dorsal and ventral mesentry.
FORGUT is the the only gut which has he ventral mesentry.
describe the order of the viscera of the forgut?
V -> D
Anterior body wall -> Liver (ventral mesogastrum) -> stomach lesser curvature -> greater curveatre -> dorsal mesentry and the spleen -> post wall
what is the ventral mesentary and what does it get split into?
growth of th liver divides the ventral msentry into the lesser omentum and the falciform ligament
what forms the dorsal mesentry?
portion of the dorsal mesentery that attaches to the greater curvature of the stomach, is known as the dorsal mesogastrium. The part of the dorsal mesentery that suspends the colon is termed the mesocolon. The dorsal mesogastrium develops into the greater omentum.
Dorsal mesogastric makes what?
Gastrosplenic ligament
Splenorenal ligament
Ventral mesogastrium
Lesser omentum
Falciform Ligament
Coronary ligament
Right and left triangular liagment
why cant the organs not dangle?
Dorsal mesentery attaches organs to posterior wall.
Ventral mesentery attaches organs to anterior wall.
Organs which do not have a mesentry are just attachd to the body wall
what is a mesentry?
A mesentery is a fold in the peritoneum which allows communication of an intraperitoneal organ with the abdominal wall.
Nerves and vessels pass through the mesentery.
The entire gut has a dorsal mesentery
The foregut also has a ventral mesentery
which sections of the abd have a drosal mesentry?
All 3 sections (endo, meso, ect) have a dorsal mesentry
which part of the abdomen has a ventral mesentry>?
the forgut
the liver forms from within the ventral mesentry
spleen forms within the dorsal mesentry
