GI is subdivided into ____, ____, and ____
GI is subdivided into abdominal foregut of large organs, midgut, and hindgut
Abdominal foregut of large organs is supplied by the ____ branches
Abdominal foregut of large organs is supplied by the celiac trunk branches
Midgut is supplied by the ____
Midgut is supplied by the superior mesenteric artery
Hindgut is supplied by the ____
Hindgut is supplied by the inferior mesenteric artery
_____ provides parasympathetic innervation to the foregut and midgut, while the _____ provides parasympathetic innervation to the hindgut
Vagus nerve provides parasympathetic innervation to the foregut and midgut, while the pelvic splanchnic nerves provides parasympathetic innervation to the hindgut
____ forms in a bag of ____ of the foregut that continues to grow down over the intestines as the greater omentum
Lesser peritoneal sac forms in a bag of dorsal mesentery of the foregut that continues to grow down over the intestines as the greater omentum
Rotation of the foregut / stomach 90 degrees to the right results in liver moving to the ____ and spleen moving to the ____
Rotation of the foregut / stomach 90 degrees to the right results in liver moving to the right and spleen moving to the left
Midgut grows tremendously as it loops around the _____
Midgut grows tremendously as it loops around the superior mesenteric artery
____ connects the transverse colon to the liver
Hepatocolic ligament connects the transverse colon to the liver
____ connects the transverse colon to the diaphragm on the left
Phrenicocolic ligament connects the transverse colon to the diaphragm on the left
____ connects the transverse colon to the stomach
Gastocolic ligament connects the transverse colon to the stomach
____ of the liver is a fibrous cord that is a remnant of the umbilical vein
Round ligament of the liver (ligamentum teres) is a fibrous cord that is a remnant of the umbilical vein
Organs in the body wall outside the greater peritoneal sac are in a ____ location
Organs in the body wall outside the greater peritoneal sac are in a retroperitoneal location
(aorta, IVC, kidneys, bladder, rectum, and vagina)
Ascending and descending colon, pancreas, and duodenum initially have mesenteries but get pressed agains the body wall to become _____ as a result of the looping and tremendous growth of the midgut
Ascending and descending colon, pancreas, and duodenum initially have mesenteries but get pressed agains the body wall to become secondarily retroperitoneal as a result of the looping and tremendous growth of the midgut
If you were inside the lesser peritoneal sac or its entryway through the epiploic foramen, you would be able to touch the _____, _____, _____, and _____ mesenteries
If you were inside the lesser peritoneal sac or its entryway through the epiploic foramen, you would be able to touch the splenorenal, hepatoduodenal, gastrosplenic, and hepatogastric mesenteries
(all are part of / continuous with the dorsal mesogastrium that makes up the walls of the lesser sac)
