39

- allows for easier movement of fecal matter in large intestine

40
Q

Appendix

A

-contains large groupings of lymphatic nodules (similar to Peyer’s patches) that are located in the lamina propria and A LITTLE in the submucosa

41
Q

Appendicitis onset

A

-mild pain near umbilicus

42
Q

Why is there mild pain near umbilicus with onset of appendicitis?

A

sensory fibers of appendix goes to umbilical region at first

43
Q

appendicitis a couple hours in

A

pain/tenderness to touch is located in RLQ over McBurney’s point
-normal to experience nausea and vomitting

44
Q

McBurney’s point

A

Draw imaginary line from umbilicus to iliac crest and at about the lateral 3rd of that line is where the appendix USUALLY sits, it can vary greatly

45
Q

Q

what does the superior mesenteric artery supply?
