Peritoneum, Abd Viscera, Celiac Trunk Flashcards
Foregut contents
–Esophagus, Stomach
–Liver, Gallbladder
–Pancreas
–Duodenum (prox.)
Midgut contents
–Duodenum (dist.)
–Jejunum & ileum
–Cecum & appendix
–Ascending colon
–Transverse colon (prox.)
Hindgut contents
–Transverse colon (dist.)
–Descending, Sigmoid colon
–Rectum
Double folds of peritoneum that anchor organs and provide pathway for neurovasculature
Mesenteries
Innervation of parietal peritoneum (general)
Somatic afferents (Sensitive, well-localized dermatomes)
Afferents from visceral peritoneum follow…
Sympathetic pathway (Complex, poorly-localized)

Greater omentum


Suspends liver from diaphragm
Coronary ligament:
Single layered, anterior and posterior portions, frame bare area of liver
Anchor liver to ant wall and seperates R and L lobes
Falciform ligament: double layered
Anchors jejunum and ileum to post wall
Mesentery proper:

Allows much movement
Highly vascular


Attaches liver to lesser curvature of stomach & prox.duodenu
Lesser omentum

Regions of lesser omentum

Omental bursa communicates with greater sac through…
epiploic foramen
Arterial trunks


All venous return from digestive organs must pass through liver via…
Hepatic portal vein
Contributions to hepatic portal v from forgut, midgut, hindgut
- Foregut: splenic V, gastric VV
- Midgut: superior mesenteric V
- Hindgut: inferior mesenteric V
Celiac trunk branches

Esophageal blood supply

Esophagus venous drainage



Folds on inside of stomach
Rugae
Stomach arterial supply
