Some abdominal stuff Flashcards
Intraperitoneal organs
stomach, (first part of) duodenum, jejenum, ileum, transverse colon, sigmoid colon, liver, spleen
retroperitoneal organs
kidneys, ureters, suprarenal glands, rectum
Secondarily retroperitoneal
Duodenum (2nd-4th parts), pancreas, ascending colon, descending colon
What structures are inside the hepatoduodenal ligament?
Hepatic portal vein, bile duct, hepatic artery
What are the borders of the omental foramen?
Anterior - hepatic portal vein, hepatic artery, bile duct (contained in hepatoduodenal ligament)
Posterior - Inferior vena cava and right crus of the diaphragm covered with parietal periotneum
Superior - caudate lobe of the liver covered with visceral peritoneum
Inferior - first part of the duodenum covered with visceral peritoneum
“Ligaments” attached to stomach
gastrophrenic, gastrosplenic, gastrocolic (majority of greater omentum)
gastrohepatic, hepatoduodenal(I mean technically duodenum and not stomach)(lesser omentum)
Supracolic compartment
stomach, liver, spleen
infracolic compartment
small intestine, ascending and descending colon
Lymph drainage of the stomach
Lymph from the superior two thirds of the stomach drains along the right and left gastric vessels to the gastric lymph nodes; lymp from the fundus and superior part of the body of the stomach also drains along the short gastric arteries and left gastro-omental vessels to the pancreaticosplenic lymph nodes. Lymph from the right two thirds of the inferior third of the stomach drains along the right gastro-omental vessels to the pyloric lymph nodes. Lymph from the left one third of the greater curvature drains to the pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes
Sympathetic nerve supply of the stomach
T6-T9 segments of the spinal cord to celiac plexus through the greater splanchnic nerve
Origin, course and distribution of
celiac trunk
O: abdominal aorta (at level of aortic hiatus)
C: after short antero-inferior course, bifurcates into splenic and common hepatic arteries
D: Esophagus, stomach, proximal duodenum, liver/biliary apparatus, pancreas
Origin, course and distribution of:
Left gastric artery
O: Celiac trunk
C: Ascends retroperitoneally to esophageal hiatus, giving rise to an esophageal branch; then descending along lesser curvature to anastamose with right gastric artery
D: Distal (mostly abdominal) part of esophagus and lesser curvature of stomach
Origin, course and distribution of:
Splenic artery
O: Celiac trunk
C: Runs retroperitoneally along superior border of pancreas; traverses splenorenal ligament to hilum of spleen
D: Body of pancreas, spleen, and greater curvature and posterior stomach body
Origin, course and distribution of:
Posterior gastric artery
O: Splenic artery posterior to stomach
C: Ascends retroperitoneally along posterior wall of lesser omental bursa to enter gastrophrenic ligament
D: posterior wall and fundus of stomach
Arteries of stomach
Celiac trunk, left gastric artery, common hepatic artery, splenic artery, left and right gastro-omental arteries, right gastric artery. It’s better to just draw this. Pg. 236 of Moore’s.
Origin, course and distribution of:
Left gastro-omental artery
O: Splenic artery in hilum of spleen
C: Passes between layers of gastrosplenic ligament to stomach, then along greater curvature in greater omentum to anastomose with right gastro-omental artery
D: Left portion of greater curvature of stomach
Origin, course and distribution of:
Short gastric artery
O: Splenic artery in hilum of spleen
C: Passes between layers of gastrosplenic ligament to fundus of stomach
D: fundus of stomach
Origin, course and distribution of: Hepatic artery (common hepatic artery, hepatic artery proper)
O: Celiac trunk
C: Passes retroperitoneally to reach hepatoduodenal ligament; passing between layers to porta hepatis; bifurcates into right and left hepatic arteries
D: Liver, gallbladder and biliary ducts, stomach, duodenum, pancreas, and respective lobes of liver
What arteries branch off of the celiac artery?
The Common Heptaic artery, the splenic artery, and the left gastric artery
Origin, course and distribution of:
Cystic artery
O: Right hepatic artery
C: Arises within hepatoduodenal ligament (in cystohepatic triangle of Calot)
D: Gallbladder and cystic duct
Origin, course and distribution of:
Right Gastric artery
O: Hepatic artery (proper)
C: Runs along lesser curvature of stomach to anastomose with left gastric artery
D: Right portion of lesser curvature of stomach
Origin, course and distribution of:
Gastroduodenal
O: Hepatic artery
C: Descends retroperitoneally, posterior to gastroduodenal junction
D: Stomach, pancreas, first part of duodenum, and distal part of bile duct
Origin, course and distribution of:
Right gastro-omental (Right gastroepiploic)
O: Gastroduodenal artery
C: Passes between layers of greater omentum along curvature of stomach to anastomose with left gastro-omental artery
D: Right portion of greater curvature of stomach
