What are the two venous drainage systems of the GI tract?

For the esophageal anastomosis, what makes up the portal and what makes up the caval?

Caval: esophageal vv. to azygos vv.
What innervates parietal peritoneum?
Phrenic nerve - It refers pain to c3-c5 dermatomes
There is a blockage in the liver and blood cannot drain, how does the body deal with this?
Blood goes from portal vein to gastric vein to esophageal veins to azygos v.
This makes up the esophageal portal-caval anastomosis. This is indicated by the presence of esophageal varices.
What are the parts of the rectal portal-caval anastomosis?
Portal: sup rectal vv. to (hepatic) portal v. (It will actual connect with IMV, then splenic is added, and then the portal vein)
Caval: mid and inf rectal vv. to internal iliac v.
When the rectal portal-caval anastomosis occurs, what is happening?
Blood will flow from sup rectal v to mid and inf rectal vv.
It will then enter the internal iliac vein>common iliac vein>IVC
This is the rectal portal-caval anastomosis. This is indicated but the presence of internal hemorrhoids.
What are the parts of the gut portal-caval anastomosis?
Portal: paraumbilical vv. to (hepatic) portal v.
Caval: epigastric vv. to femoral v.
When the gut anastomosis occurs, what is taking place?
Instead of the paraumbilical vv. draining into the (hepatic) portal vein, they drain into superficial vv. of abdominal wall>superficial epigastric vv.>femoral v.>ext iliac v.>common iliac v.>IVC
This is indicated by the presence of a caput medusa (bulges on a patient’s stomach)
Why does a distal splenorenal shunt (procedure that connects splenic vein and left renal vein) relieve portal hypertension?
It reroutes that splenic vein blood from joining with the IMV and into the portal vein to instead drain into the left renal vein which drains direct into IVC.
What is the GI tract innervated by?
Sym and parasym only. No somatic innervation in GI tract
