17
Q

The mental nurse communicates with the greater peritoneal sac via what?

A

epiploic foramen of Winslow

18
Q

Is the greater momentum composed of perietal or visceral peritoneum?

A

visceral

19
Q

T or F. mesenteries and ligaments in the abdomen form from parietal peritoneum reflections

A

F. they are from visceral peritoneum

20
Q

Do retroperitoneal organs have visceral peritoneum?

A

No. just parietal

21
Q

Where does the gastrocolic ligament run from?

A

lower stomach to transverse colon

22
Q

What is attached inferiorly to the cecum?

A

appendix

23
Q

What parts of the colon are intraperiteonal?

A

transverse (connects tranverse to pancreas) and sigmoid

24
Q

What are the two parts of the periteonal cavity?

A

greater and lesser peritoneal sacs

25
Q

When is the greater peritoneal sac formed?

A

developmental rotation of the foregut

26
Q

The lesser peritoneal sac is aka?

A

omental bursa

27
Q

What are the borders of the epiploic foreamen?

A

inferior- frist part of the duodenum

superior- the liver (caudate lobe)

anterior- IVC

posterior- hepatic portal vein in the hepatoduodenal ligament of the lesser omentum

28
Q

What are the two mesogastric structures?

A

falciform ligament and lesser omentum

29
Q

Gut rotation of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon occurs around an axis formed by?

A

superior mesenteric artery

30
Q

What lose their dorsal mesenteries during gut rotation 1?

A

ascending/descending colon, doudenum

31
Q

What lose their dorsal mesenteries during gut rotation 2?

A

spleen

32
Q

he right paracolic gutter has at its inferior end the vermiform appendix and at its superior end the?

A

hepatorenal recess (aka Morison’s pouch)

Being a low point in the peritoneal cavity of the supine patient, it is where excess intraperitoneal fluid (such as blood) collects

33
Q

Midgut and hindgut structures have only have which mesentery?

A

dorsal. Some of these dorsal mesentaries are lost during fetal development in a process called gut rotation.

34
Q

Do foregut structures have a ventral mesentery?

A

Yes

35
Q

The remainder of the spell mesentery (the part not lost) is called the?

A

splenicorenal ligament

Remember that the splenic mesentery is derived from dorsal mesogastrium.

36
Q

Just superficial to the parietal peritoenum is what?

A

transversalis fascia
