Q

duodenum

A

c shaped around ehad of pancreas
4 parts

superior D1 - pylorus to right side of L1
intraperitoneal
posterior relations: CBD, PV, gastroduodenal

Descedning D2 - runs inferiorly L1-L2
CBD and pancreatic ducts enter

Inferior
longest
passes infront of IVC and aorta to the left side of L3

Asending
upwards to L2
termiates at DJ flexure - supported by ligamen f triietz (peritoneal fold)

Q

differences between ileum and jejunum

A

ileum is longer (3/5)

Q

position of appendix

A

posterior medial wall of caecum

suspended from terminal ileum by mesoappendix which contains the appendicular vessels

position is highly variable
- most commonly retrocaecal
can be pelvic, subcaecal or preileal

position of the base is consistent on the caecum where the three bands of taenia converge

40
Q

Where is the major duodenal papilla?

A

papilla of vater

junction of pancreatic duct and CBD (ampulla of vater) in the duodenum

41
Q

possible positions of the appendix

post-ileal

42
Q

blood supply to the appendix

A

Q

why is appencitis pain referred to the umbilicus

A

pain initially starts in the periumbilical region as visceral pain from the appendix - nerve fibres from T10 level

when the parietal peritoneum is irritated by the appendix the pain localises to thr RIF
