A

groove between rugae and lesser curvature

21
Q

3 muscle layers of stomach

A
  1. outer longitudinal layer
  2. middle circular layer
  3. inner oblique fibers
    =muscularis extrema
22
Q

stomach located where

A

left hypochondrium, left epigastric and umbilical regions

23
Q

what ligament contains portal triad

A

hepatoduodenal ligament in the lesser omentum

24
Q

cardia

A

esophagogastric junction

25
Q

fundus

A

above and to left of cardia may have air

26
Q

cardiac notch

A

between cardia and fundus

27
Q

pyloric antrum

A

begins at angular notch

28
Q

pyloric canal

A

narrower portion of pylorus

29
Q

pylorus

A

distal spincteric region

30
Q

what is the celiac ganglia

A

fibrous bundle that receieve fibers from greater splanchnic nerve, and send out postganglionic fibers called celiac plexus

31
Q

length of small intestin

A

6-7 meters

32
Q

characteristics of the 1st part of duodenum

A

LACKS plicae circularis, peritonealized, anterior to bile duct,portal vein, gastroduodenal artery, prone to ulcers bc pancreatic bicarb doesnt dump here to neutralize gastric contents

33
Q

characteristics of 2nd part of duodenum

A

secondarily retroperitoneal, plicae circulares PRESENT, common bile duct and main pancreatic duct open into duodenal papilla (duodenopancreatic ampulla of vater) - END OF FOREGUT

34
Q

characteristic of 3rd part of duodenum

A

CIRCULAR FOLDS PRESENT, secondarily retroperitoneal, posterior to SMA, crosses L3, BEGINNING OF MIDGUT

35
Q

characteristic of 4th part duodenum

A

CIRCULAR FOLDS PRESENT, to left of midline secondarily retroperitoneal, supported by suspensory ligament of duod = ligament of trietz, ends at duodojejunal flexures

36
Q

where is the ligament of trietz

A

smooth muscle that passes from the right crus of diaphragm around the esophagus and attaches to the muscle in duod at duodenojejunal flexure - IS A FIXED POINT IN POST ABD WALL

37
Q

nutcracker position

A

3rd part of duodenum is between the origin of SMA and aorta (neck of pancreas is anterior to aorta and superior to 3rd part)

38
Q

division of foregut, midgut, hindgut

A

FOREGUT: esophagus to duodenal papilla, blood celiac trunk, sympathetics greater splanchnic n, parasympathetics vagus n

MIDGUT: duodenal papilla to 2/3 of transverse colon, blood SMA, sympathetics lesser splanchnics, parasympathetics vagus n

HINDGUT: 1/3 transverse colon to rectum, blood IMA, sympathetics lumbar splanchnics, parasympathetics pelvic splanchnic (S2-S4)

39
Q

lymphatic drainage duod

A

pyloric nodes, SM lyphnodes

40
Q

specific blood to duod

A
  1. superior A&P pancreaticoduodenal from gastroduodenal A
  2. inferior A&P pancreaticoduodenal from SMA
41
Q

where does jejunum begin

A

L2 at duodenojejunal flexure on left side

42
Q

where does ileum end

A

ileocecal junction

43
Q

what is meckel’s diverticulum?

A

leftover of umbilical cord! remnant of proximal part of yolk sac that follows the rule of 2’s: 2 inches long, 2 feet from ileocecal junction, and only occurs in 2% of population

44
Q

position of jejunum and ileum

A

jejunum: ULQ
ileum: LRQ

45
Q

distinguishing characteristics of jejunum

A

47
Q

lymphatic drainage of jejunum and ileum

A

superior mesenteric and ileocolic lymph nodes
