Peritoneam Flashcards
Def ?
- closed sac in the abdomen formed by serous memberane in which organs invaginate in forming inner visceral layer that is mesothelial layer secreting serous fluid and outer parietal fibrous layer
Intraperitoneal organs ?
Almost completely covered
• stomach
• 1st , last inch of duodenum
• jejunum
• ileum
• cecam
• appendix
• transverse colon
• sigmoid colon
• spleen
• ovary
Retroperitoneal organs
Anteriorly , lateraly covered by peritoneam only
• majority of duodenum
• kidney
• suprarenal gland
• ureter
• pancreas
Peritoneal folds
( def , function )
- double layers of visceral peritoneam that connects organs with each other or with abdominal walls
- fixation of organs
- storage of fat
- passage for blood vessels , nerves and lymphatics
Talk about lesser omentum
(3)
• extends from lesser curvature , 1 st inch of 1 st part of duodenum to porta hepatis, ligamentum venosum
• two parts
Hepatogastric ligament ( left border )
Hepatoduodenal ligament ( right free border )
• contents
On lesser curvature: lt , rt gastric vessels on it
In the free margin ( VAD)
• common bile duct
• hepatic artery
• portal vein
Talk about greater omentum
(8)
1- extends from greater curvature to transverse colon
2- it hangs like an apron infront of small intestine
3- it is wrapped backwards onitself
4- so it is formed of 4 layers ( 2 anterior - 2 posterior ).
5- the 2 posterior layers ascend and enclose the transverse colon to form mesocolon later
6- the 4 layers are firmly adherent together into 2 layers in adults
7- function
- protection : has numerous fixed macrophages
- storage of fat
- migration and limition : limit any spread of infection as itigrate to such a site of infection and wrap itself around it preventing spread so it is referred to as policeman of peritonal cavity
8- contents
- lt, rt gastroepiploic vessels
- lympatics
- fat
Talk about transverse mesocolon
(2)
- double layers of peritoneam that enclose transverse colon and attaches it to posterior abdominal wall through anterior border of pancreas
- contents : middle colic vessels - fat
Talk about sigmoid mesocolon
(2)
- double layers of peritoneam that encloses sigmoid colon and connects it to pelvic wall
- v inverted shape with the apex towards biforcation of cca and left ureter
Talk about mesoappendix
(2)
- triangler mesentry from the terminal part of ileum to appendix
- the free margin of it runs in it the appendicular artery
Talk about mesentry of small intestine
(6)
1- peritoneam suspending the small intestine from the posterior abdominal wall
2- fan shape and broad mesentry
3- 2 borders
- free border ( intestinal )
- root of mesentry ( attached )
4- intestinal border
• frilled
• 20 feet ( 6 m)
• seperates to enclose jejunum, ileum
5- root of mesentry
• 15 cm
• directed obliquely from the left side of l2 to right sacroiliac joint
6- contents
• jejunum
• ileum
• superior mesentric vessels in root
• jejunal and ileul branches
• autonomic nerves
• fat
• lymphatics
• loose aeroler tissue
Name ligaments of liver
Name it ياختي
Talk about ligaments of spleen
(3)
- gastrosplenic ligament : extends from stomach to hileum of spleen
- lienorenal or splenorenal : extends from hilum of spleen to left kidney ,
contents of lieno : splenic vessels , tail of pancreas
Talk aboit ligaments of stomach
(4)
- hepatogastric
- gastrosplenic
- gastrocolic ( upper part of greater omentum that attaches stomach to transverse colon )
- gastrophrenic ( attaches upper part of greater cuvature to diaphragm)
Blood supply , innervation, lymphatics
Of parietal , visceral
Parietal
Blood supply , lympatics similar to body wall
Innervation similar to body wall
- lower 6 thoracic nerves
- iliohypogastric
- ilioguinal
- phrenic nerve
So it sensitve to pain& temperature
Visceral
Blood supply , lymphatics similar to viscera
Innervation similar to viscera
Autonomic nerves related to viscera
So it is sensitive to stretch only
Talk about peritoneal cavity
(6)
1- potential space between visceral, parietal layers
2- completely closed in men
3- not closed in women as it communicates with exterior by uterine tubes , uterus and vagina
4- so PID is most likely to happen in women
5- it seperated into greater , lesser sac
6- communicates together by epiploic foramen ( foramen for winslaw ) ( omental foramen)
