Peritoneum Flashcards
The splenorenal ligament connects —– to —–
Left Kidney to the spleen
The visceral and parietal peritoneum consists of a simple squamous epithelial cell which secretes fluid what is it ?
Mesothelium
Pain in the parietal peritoneum is very well localised except for?
The peritoneum covering the Inferior surface of the central part of the diaphragm, innervated by the phrenic nerve and referred to C3-C5 dermatomes of the shoulder.
Pain in the visceral peritoneumn is not localized and it is referred to ——– dermatome
Dermatome of the spinal ganglia
The parietal peritoneum covering of the inferior surface of the central part of the diaphragm is innervated by?
Phrenic nerve and referred to the C3-C5 dermatome
The visceral peritoneum is stimulated only by?
Stretching and irritation
Differentiate intraperitoneal organs from retroperitoneal organs with examples
Intraperitoneal organs are almost completely covered with the visceral peritoneum e. g stomach, liver, spleen
Retroperitoneal organs are partially covered with parietal peritoneum usually on the anterior surface e.g kidney
Subperitoneal organs are covered partially by perietal peritoneum on ——- surface
Superior
The mesentery is significant in that ?
It ensures continuity between the visceral and parietal peritoneum
It ensures neurovascular communication between the intraperitoneal organs and the abdominal wall
The mesentery contains a core of connective tissue that contains
Blood, lymphatic vessels, nerves, lymph nodes and fat
The lesser omentum( hepatoduodenal ligament) connects the stomach also to the?
Portal triad(portal vein, hepatic artery and bile duct)
The paracolic gutters create free communication between?
The supracolic and infracolic compartment
The parietal peritoneum of the abdominal cavity descends onto the pelvis to surround the superior and superolateral surface of abdominal viscera
Trueeee
