30
Q

Anatomical relations of spleen

A
. Ant: stomach
. Post: L kidney ad part of diaphragm 
. Inf: L colic flexure and phrenicocolic ligament 
. Lat: diaphragm 
. Med: tail of pancreas and L kidney 
. Lies deep to ribs 9-11
. Doesn’t extend below costal margin
31
Q

Ligaments of spleen

A

. Gastrosplenic (gastrolienal)
. Splenorenal
. Arteries found in these

32
Q

Spleen innervation

A

. Post-ganglionic sympathetic nn. From celiac plexus to blood vessels
. Vasomotor

33
Q

Spleen blood supply

A

Splenic a.

34
Q

Spleen rupture

A

. Easy w/ blow to left upper quadrant because of thin capsule
. May need to be removed
. Remember close relationship to pancreas tail to spleen hilus during removal

35
Q

Accessory spleens

A

. In 10% of people
. 1 cm in diameter
. In hilus, tail of pancreas, gastrosplenic ligment
. Need to look for them is removing spleen because of splenic anemia

36
Q

Esophagus

A

. 23-25 cm long (1.5-2.5 cm in abdominal cavity
. Enters stomach through diaphragmatic opening (esophageal hiatus) that has physiological sphincter
. Enters stomach in cardiac region at cardiac orifice
. Lower esophageal sphincter surrounds cardiac orifice (damage can cause GERD)

37
Q

Stomach curvatures

A

. Lesser: right side, concave, blends w/ esophagus, attachment to lesser omentum
. Greater: left side, convex, junction w/ esophagus via cardiac notch, 4-5x longer than lesser, atttached to ant. Layer of greater omentum

38
Q

Stomach areas

A

. Cardia: around cardiac orifice
. Fundus: bulge sup. To horizontal line drawn to left from cardiac notch, rests against left dome of diaphragm, filled w/ gas on X-ray
. Body (corpus): largest area, below cardia and fundus to vertical line dropped from angular incisure
. Pyloric: below angular incisure line, pyloric antrum (wider area next to body), canal (narrower region leading to pyloric sphincter)

39
Q

. Pyloric sphincter

A

. Junctionof stomach and duodenum
. Anatomical: actual thickening of muscle inf ut wall
