Q

where does the stomach receive its blood supply from

A

common hepatic artery (gastroduodenal artery, splenic branches)

drained by portal vein

20
Q

what separates the left and right lobes of the liver

A

the falciform ligament

21
Q

what separates the quadrate and caudate lobes of the liver

A

sagittal fissures and the transverse porta hepatis

22
Q

how is the liver divided and into how many parts

A

8 parts by the distributions of portal triad and hepatic vein

23
Q

what is the livers dual oxygenated blood supply

A

hepatic portal vein supply 75-80% (40% more oxygen than other systemic veins)

hepatic artery supply other 20-25%

24
Q

what does the liver have to do with lymph

A

major producing organ

25-50% of lymph in thoracic duct comes from liver

25
Q

what are the 4 parts of the pancreas

A

head, neck, body, tail

26
Q

what are the 2 ducts within the pancreas and what do they do

A

main pancreatic duct (unites with bile duct forming hepatopancreatic ampulla of vater (opens to duodenum))

accessory pancreatic duct

27
Q

where do the duodenum and pancreas get their blood

A

from branches of splenic, gastroduodenal, superior mesenteric arteries

drainage to hepatic portal vein

28
Q

where does the pancreas get its nerve supply

A

from vagus and abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves

29
Q

what do pancreatic centroacinar cells do

A

perform exocrine functions, synthesize and secrete the digestive enzymes

30
Q

what do pancreatic stellate cells do

A

perform functions relating to tissue repair and destruction of tumour cells

31
Q

what are the 4 types of pancreatic islet of Langerhans cells

A

alpha, beta, delta, F-cells

32
Q

how is the pancreas formed

A

two buds the endodermal lining of duodenum (dorsal & ventral pancreatic bud)

the fuse

33
Q

when does insulin secretion begin

A

around the 5 month of foetal life

34
Q

what is annular pancreas

A

improper rotation and migration of the tissue buds - may constrict/obstruct duodenum

35
Q

what would blockage of the hepatopancreatic ampulla cause (gallstones)

A

pancreatitis to bile reflux

36
Q

what is an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

A

fibre optic endoscope passed through mouth to duodenum injecting radiographic contract to produce an image to diagnosis disease

37
Q

what are the 2 types of pancreatic cancer

A

exocrine (95%) in head of pancreas

endocrine

38
Q

what does cancer in the pancreatic head do?

A

compresses and obstructs the bile duct, enlarges gallbladder leads to obstructive jaundice

39
Q

what is an pancreatectomy

A

removal of most or all of the pancreatic cancer

40
Q

what is Whipples procedure

A

cancer removal from pancreatic head

41
Q

what makes the biliary tree

A

right and left hepatic ducts (forms hepatic duct) + cystic duct = bile duct + main pancreatic duct = hepatopancreatic ampulla

42
Q

what makes up the small intestine

A

duodenum (first part, 25cm long takes C shape around pancreas)

Jejunum (proximal 2/5)

Ileum (distal 3/5)

43
Q

what is the difference between mesenteric and -anti-mesenteric borders

A

both concave margin of small bowel loop, mesenteric facing towards axis of root of mesentery, other facing away

44
Q

what is the most common position of the appendix

A

retro-colic or retro caecal (60-75%)

45
Q

what is the rectal canal developed from?

A

endodermal cloaca of hindgut (upper 2/3s)

ectodermal cloaca (lower 1/3)

the sections different in blood, nerve and lymphatic supply
