Q

what level are the iliac crests

A

L4

24
Q

what are the iliac crests used as a landmark for

A

lumbar puncture

25
Q

where is the liver

A

under ribs and diaphragm- pushed down when diaphragm contracts

26
Q

where is the gallbladder

A

at the midclavicular line

27
Q

what ligaments are on the anterior liver surface

A

falciform ligament

round ligament

28
Q

how is the falciform ligament formed and what does it do

A

fused periotoneal reflections from the left and right sides of the liver that extend anteriorly
divides liver into left and right lobes

29
Q

how is the round ligament formed and what does it do

A

obliterated umbilical vein that extends from the free margin of the liver, inferior to the falciform ligament

30
Q

what part of the gallbladder is visible from an anterior view of the liver

A

fundus

31
Q

what structures are in the porta hepatis

A

hepatic portal vein
proper hepatic artery
common hepatic duct

32
Q

what surrounds the structures in the portal hepatis

A

hepatoduodenal ligament

33
Q

what are the 4 lobes of the liver

A

right
left
quadrate
cuadate

34
Q

where is the quadrate lobe of the liver

A

between the falciform ligament and the gallbladder

35
Q

where is the caudate lobe of the liver

A

between the inferior vena cava and the ligamentum venosum

36
Q

where is the ligamentum venosum

A

directly behind the falciform ligament in the main lobar fissure

37
Q

where do all hepatic veins drain into

A

inferior vena cava

38
Q

where is the bare area of the liver

A

on the visceral aspect, area that is directly against the diaphragm that is not covered by peritoneum

39
Q

where is the coronary ligament and how is it formed

A

reflection of the peritoneum at the bare area

40
Q

what forms the left and right triangular ligament

A

where the peritoneum reflections from the coronary ligament layers meet

41
Q

what is the difference between the hepatic vein and portal vein

A

portal vein- delivers blood to the liver to be filtered
hepatic vein- drains blood into the IVC that supplies nutrients to the liver and what is brought to it by the portal vein

42
Q

where does the blood from the GI tract go

A

portal venous system

43
Q

what arteries go to the liver from the celiac artery

A

common hepatic artery which branches into the proper hepatic arteries (left and right)

44
Q

path of bile

A

hepatic duct- exits liver
cystic duct- enters/exits gallbladder
common bile duct- forms from intersection of hepatic and cystic ducts and empties into the duodenum

45
Q

what is bile for

A

digest fats

46
Q

what is in the portal triad

A

portal vein
bile duct
hepatic artery

47
Q

what is the shape of the gallbladder on US

A

exclamation point- gall bladder is the long part, the portal triad is the dot

48
Q

what is the shape of the portal triad on US

A

mickey mouse
portal vein is the head
hepatic artery and common bile duct are ears

49
Q

where is the spleen

A

posteiror to th emidaxillary line on the left

50
Q

what is Traub’s space

A

left hypochondriac region between lung nd spleen

51
Q

what is splenomegaly

A

enlarged spleen that fills Traub’s space

52
Q

what are the 3 spaces in the peritoneal cavity

A

subphrenic (subdiaphragmatic)
perisplenic
hepatorenal

53
Q

where is the subphrenic space

A

between the liver and diaphragm
connected to the hepatorenal recess
infections here cause referred shoulder pain because the phrenic nerve is supplied by C3,4,5 which also go to the shoulder

54
Q

where is the perisplenic space

A

between the spleen and diaphragm

connected to the pelvic cavity via the left colic gutter

55
Q

where is the hepatorenal space

A

between the liver and right kidney
in contact with subphrenic space
drains into pelvic vacuity via right colic gutter

56
Q

what are the lower points peritoneal spaces in the supine position

A

hepatorenal space and pelvic cavity–where all the fluid pools
