Peritoneal Cavity and Mesenteries Flashcards
What organs come from the midgut?
Lower duodenum, jejunum, Ileum, cecum, appendix, ascending colon, proximal 2/3 of transverse colon
What organs come from the hind gut?
Distal third of the transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum and upper anal canal
What arteries supply the foregut?
Celiac trunk: splenic artery, left gastric, common hepatic
What arteries supply the midgut?
Superior mesenteric a: ileocolic, right colic, middle colic
What arteries supply the hindgut?
Inferior mesenteric: left colic, sigmoid branches, superior rectal
What organ gets the same blood supply as the foregut but does not develop from it?
Spleen
Which layer of the peritoneum has abundant somatic pain fibers via nerves from body wall?
Parietal layer
Visceral layer (serosa) lacks pain fibers
What is rigid abdomen?
A stiffness of the stomach that occurs when it is touched, involuntary response to prevent pain caused by pressure on your abdomen (protective guarding)
Visceral peritoneum is insensitive to what ?
Touch, heat, cold, laceration
Visceral peritoneum is sensitive to what?
Stretching and chemical irritation
Crampy, colicky referred pain
What are the primarily Retroperitoneal organs?
Kidneys, ureters, adrenals, gonads, aorta and inferior vena cava (not part of the gut tube)
What organs are secondarily Retroperitoneal?
Duodenum (partial), pancreas, ascending and descending colon
Describe the ventral mesentery
Attached to the stomach = mesogastrium
Only extends from the respiratory diaphragm to the duodenum
(Foregut only)
What does the dorsal aorta and its 3 branches run through?
Dorsal mesentery
What are the 4 subdivisions of mesentery ?
THE mesentery
Transverse mesocolon
Sigmoid mesocolon
Mesoappendix
Name the peritoneal ligaments
Greater omentum: Gastrosplenic ligament, Gastrocolic ligament, Gastrophrenic ligament
Splenorenal ligament
Lesser omentum: Hepatogastric ligament, Hepatoduodenal ligament
Liver: coronary ligaments, right and left triangular ligament, falciform ligament (lig. Teres)
What does the lesser omentum develop from?
Ventral mesogastrium
What ligament contains the portal triad?
