Peritoneum and Pleura Flashcards
List the order of the GI tract
- Stomach
- Piloric sphincter
- Duodenum
- Jejunum
- Ilium
- Cecum
- Ascending colon
- Transverse colon
- Tecending colon
- Sigmoid colon
- Rectum
(N:261)
Where is the appendix?
(N:263)
Located at the junction between the ilium and the cecum
Falciform Ligament
In between the liver and the diaphragm
(N:261)
It attaches the liver to the anterior body wall
It is sickle shaped (ie falciform)
Ligamentum teres hepatis/round ligament
Degenerative string of tissue that exists in the free edge of the falciform ligament of the liver
Divides the left part of the liver into medial and lateral sections
Greater Omentum and Lesser Omentum
Omentum=post natal derivative of mesentery
Greater: Covers the greater curvature of the stomach
Lesser: covers the lesser curvature of the stomach
(N:265)
Gastroduodenal Ligament ????? ASK
ASK
Medial Umbilical Ligament (?? GO BACK)
Obliterated remnants of the umbilical arteries that returned blood to the placenta in fetal life
Median Umbilical Ligament (??ADD)
????
Omental Bursa
The omental bursa is the lesser sac which is the cavity in the abdomin that is formed by the lesser and greater omentum
Epiploic foramen (In later interval)
Connects the omental bursa to the greater sac
Parietal Peritoneum
Serous/friction reducing membrane that forms the lining of the abdopelvic wall
Visceral Peritoneum
Serous/friction reducing membrane that surrounds gastrointestinal viscera
Transverse Thoracis
Aids in expiration (?). Found on the innermost surface of the thoracic cage originating from the sternum and inserting upon ribs 2-6
Innermost Intercostals
Function not known
Anterior Intercostal Nerves
Innervates the costal (thoracic wall/rib) parietal pleura
Phrenic Nerve
C3,4,5
Innervates diaphragm, mirrored so if you ruin one, have off-sided diaphgram contracted
Vagus Nerve
Cranial nerves that wander all the way through the thorax and most of the abdomin to provide a major source of parasympathetic innervation (innervates heart, lungs, and most of GI tract)
Internal Thoracic Artery and Vein
Is the medial source of blood to the breast
Extends down to become the superior epigastric artery
