Peritoneum Flashcards
Foregut
derivaties - esophagus, stomach, duodenum, liver, pancreas
arterial supply - celiac a, splenic a, L gastric a, common hepatic
Midgut
derivaties - duodenum, free small intestine, cecum & appendix, ascending colon, R transverse colon
arterial supply - superior mesenteric a, ileocolic, R colic, middle colic
Hindgut
derivaties - L transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, upper part of anal canal, part of urogenital system
arterial supply - inferior mesenteric a, L colic sigmoind branch, superior rectal
parietal peritoneum
lines body wall in abdomen and pelvis
has abundant pain fibers via nerves of body wall
visceral peritoneum
covers visera
lacks pain fibers
Intraperitoneal organs
stomach sm intestine spleen liver gallbladder cecum w/ veriform appendix large intestine (transverse and sigmoid colon)
Primary retroperitoneal organs
kidney
ureters
adrenals
gonads
Secondary retroperitoneal organs
duodenum
pancreas
ascending and descending colon
THE mesentery
attaches free small intestine to body wall
dorsal mesentery - dorsal aorta & 3 branches run through
ventral mesentery - mesogastrium, respiratory diaphragm to duodenum
Transverse mesocolon
mesentery of transverse colon fuses with posterior layer of greater omentum
Sigmoid mesocolon
mesentery of sigmoind colon holds to posterior body wall
Mesoappendix mesentery
mesentery of verioform appendix
Peritoneal ligaments
transmit nerves and vessels
lack CT seen in ligaments that connect bones
Lesser Omentum
stomach & duodenum to liver
develops from ventral mesentery
Hepatogastric ligament
stomach to liver
