Thorax: Abdominal Viscera II Flashcards
1
Q
liver: location
A
- R hypochondrium and epigastric region -> L hypochondrium
2
Q
liver: surface projection
A
- deep to rib 7 -11 on R side and crosses midline to L nipple
- inf border follows R costal margin
3
Q
liver: surfaces
A
- diaphragmatic (ant/ sup/ post)
- visceral
4
Q
liver: recesses
A
- subphrenic
- hepatorenal
5
Q
liver: visceral surface related to (9)
A
- esophagus
- stomach
- sup part of duodenum
- lesser omentum
- gallbladder
- R colic flexure
- R transverse colon
- R kidney/ suprarenal gland
6
Q
liver: list lobes
A
- R/ L
- caudate
- quadrate
7
Q
liver: ligaments
A
- round (ligamentum teres) lig
- falciform
- 2x triangular (L/R)
- ligamentum venosum
- coronary lig
8
Q
liver: blood supply
A
- dual
- portal vein (70%)
- hepatic aa (30%)
9
Q
portal-systemic anastomoses: portal v. communicates w systemic venous vessels at
A
- esophagus (btw esophageal v)
- rectum (btw rectal v)
- umbilicus (around umbilical v)
10
Q
porta hepatis vs portal triad:
A
porta hepatis:
- only 1
- incl proper hepatic aa., portal v. and common bile duct
portal triad:
- many in liver cells
- hepatic portal v, bile/hepatic duct, hepatic aa.
11
Q
eg. cirrhosis:
A
- blocked blood flow= necrosis of tissue
- fatty cysts
- lumpy surface
- scarring
12
Q
gallbladder: function
A
- stores and concentrates bile
13
Q
gallbladder: parts and features
A
- fundus (tup of 9th costal cartilage in MCL)
- body
- neck (mucosal folds forming spiral valve)
14
Q
bile ducts: features
A
- produced by hepatocytes -> bile canaliculi -> interlobular bile ducts
- R and L hepatic ducts = common hepatic duct
common hepatic duct + cystic duct = bile duct

- proteases
- amylase
- lipases
16
Q
pancreas: endocrine portion

- glucagon
- insulin
- somatostatin
- pancreatic polypeptides
17
Q
pancreas: location
A
- across post abdominal wall from duodenal curvature to hilum of spleen
