Gastroschisis vs omphalocele
Gastroschisis is not covered by peritoneum, omphalocele is
Palpable olive mass in epigastric region
Congenital pyloric stenosis
Congenital pyloric stenosis: Results in –
Hypokalemic, hypochloremic, metabolic alkalosis
Annular pancreas
Ventral pancreatic bud encircles second part of duodenum
Pancreas divisum
Ventral and dorsal buds fail to fuse at 8 weeks. Usually asymptommatic
Spleen origin:
Mesentery of stomach (mesoderm)
Retroperitoneal duodenum
2nd –>4th part
Falciform ligament: Connects
Liver to anterior abdominal wall
Falciform ligament: Contents
Ligamentum teres hepatis
Hepatoduodenal ligament: Contents
Portal triad: proper hepatic artery, portal vein, common bile duct
Serosa vs adventitia
Serosa is intraperitoneal, adventitia is retroperitoneal

Myenteric plexus, muscularis mucosa, motility
Meisseners Plexus (aka + location + action)
Submucosal nerve plexus, gut secretions
Freq. of basal electric rhythm (Stomach, duodenum, ileum)
Duodenum>ilium>stomach
Crypts of lieberkühn (where)
Duodenum + Jejunum + Illeum + Colon
Peyers patches (where)
Ileum
Plicae circulares (where)

Cremaster muscle and fascia
Internal oblique
External spermatic fascia
External oblique
Direct hernia: rings and fasica
Goes through superficial (external) ring, and is covered by external fascia
Pancreatic secretions: high vs low flow
Low flow: high Cl-
High flow: High HCO3- (high flow rate due to Bicarb secretion)
Apple peal atresia
Jejunal, ileal, colonic atresia - due to vascular accident
Cholesterol 7-alpha hydroxylase
rate limiting step in bile acid synthesis
Salivary gland tumors: Pleomorphic adenoma histology
Chondromyxoid stroma and epithelium (benign)
Salivary gland tumors: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma histology
Mucinous and squamous components (malignant), can involve facial nerve

Punched out ulcers, small vesicles. Cowdry type A nuclear inclusions
CMV esophagitis
Linear ulcers. Intranuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions
Plummer vinson
Dysphagia, Iron deficiency anemia, Esophageal webs, glossitis
NSAIDS –> (gastritis)
Increased acid production,
Decreased mucus, bicarb, bloodflow
Ménétrier disease
Gastric hyperplasia of mucosa –> hypertrophied rugae, ecessive mucus production –> protein loss and parietal cell atrophy. look like brain gyri
