peritoneal folds

Question 1

peritoneal folds related to visceral folds are

Answer 1

double layer of peritoneum connecting different organs or organ to the posterior abdominal wall which includes mesentery ligament and omentum

Question 2

omenta

Answer 2

double layer of peritoneum connecting different organs

Question 3

lesser omentum

Answer 3

connects lesser curvature of stomach and proximal duodenum to the liver

Question 4

parts of the lesser omentum

Answer 4

hepatogastric ligament and hepatoduodenal ligaments (containing portal triad)

Question 5

the attached border of lesser omentum contains

Answer 5

right and left gastric vessels, fat, lymph nodes and autonomic nerve plexus

Question 6

greater omentum

Answer 6

hangs down from greater curve of stomach and proximal duodenum and folds back on itself to attach to transverse colon

often called abdominal apron or policeman of abdomen

contains left and right gastroomental vessels, fat, lymph nodes and autonomic nerves

Question 7

portal triad is

Answer 7

hepatic artery proter
common bile duct
and portal vein

Question 8

parts of greater omentum

Answer 8

gastrophrenic ligament
gastrosplenic ligament
gastrocolic ligament

Question 9

greater omentum function

Answer 9

the most important function is to prevent peritonitis

Question 10

ligaments of liver

Answer 10

falciform ligament (other lig are coronary and triangular lig.)
gastrohepatic ligament: from lesser curv. of stomach to liver (lesser omentum part)
hepatoduodenal ligament: from liver to first part of duodenum (contains portal triad and is part of lesser omentum)

Question 11

ligaments of stomach

Answer 11

gastrophrenic ligament: from the stomach to the inferior diaphragmatic surface.
gastrocolic ligament: from the stomach to transverse colon
gastrosplenic ligament: from stomach to hilum of spleen

Question 12

ligaments of spleen

Answer 12

gastrophrenic ligament: from the stomach to inferior diaphragmatic surface

phrenocolic ligament: from hepatic flexure of the transverse colon to diaphragm

splenorenal: from spleen to the left kidney

Question 13

mesentery attachments

Answer 13

mesoappendix
transverse mesocolon
mesentery of small intestine
sigmoid mesocolon

Question 14

six umbilical folds related to the parietal peritoneum

Answer 14

one median: extends from the apex of the urinary bladder to the umbilicus and covers the median umbilical ligament (remnant of urachus)

two medial covering the medial umbilical ligament (occluded remnants of the fetal umbilical arteries)

two lateral umbilical folds overlap the epigastric vessels

supraumbilical lig called falciform attached to liver

Question 15

intraperitoneal organs

Answer 15

liver spleen stomach upper half of first part of the peritoneum, jejunum, ileum, transverse colon, sigmoid colon, and superior rectum

Question 16

primarily retroperitoneal organs

Answer 16

supraperitoneal urinary bladder

Question 17

secondarily retroperitoneal organs

Answer 17

adrenal glands, pancreas, part two-four of duodenum, and lower half of ascending and descending colon

Question 18

neurovascular supply peritoneum

Answer 18

The parietal peritoneum:
it is supplied by the same blood and lymphatic supply and the same somatic nerve, as is the region of the wall it lines (sensitive)

The visceral peritoneum:
served by the same blood and lymphatic vasculature and visceral nerve supply (insensitive)
