Q

The superior mesenteric artery branches to the right give rise to what arteries in what order?

A
  • middle colic artery
  • right colic artery
  • ileocolic artery
21
Q

The middle colic artery supplies what?

A

the transverse colon

22
Q

The right colic artery supplies what?

A

the ascending colon

23
Q

Describe the branching of arteries off the inferior mesenteric artery.

A
  • left colic first
  • then 3-4 sigmoid arteries
  • becomes the superior rectal artery
24
Q

After branching into several sigmoid arteries, the inferior mesenteric artery becomes what?

A

the superior rectal artery

25
Q

The transverse colon is supplied by what arteries?

A

the middle colic and left colic

26
Q

The IMA anastomoses with what major artery?

A

the internal iliac

27
Q

The portal vein is formed from what?

A

the splenic vein and SMV

28
Q

The IMV empties into what vessel?

A

the splenic vein (60% of the time) or the SMV (40% of the time)

29
Q

Name the four plexuses that allow anastomosis between the portal vein and systemic veins.

A
  • esophageal plexus
  • paraumbilical plexus
  • rectal plexuses
  • retroperitoneal plexus
30
Q

What is the paraumbilical plexus?

A

an obliterated vessel that can be re-channelized if portal hypertension grows

31
Q

Caput medusa results from portal hypertension and what anastomotic connection?

A

the paraumbilical plexus

32
Q

Portal hypertension causes what sort of hemorrhoids?

A

internal

33
Q

Why does portal hypertension cause internal hemorrhoids rather than external ones?

A

because the internal rectal plexus anastomoses with the portal hepatic vein

34
Q

The external rectal plexus drains into what venous system?

A

the internal iliac vein

35
Q

All abdominal lymphatics drain upward to the ____.

A

cisterna chyli

36
Q

The cisterna chyli drains into what structure?

A

the thoracic duct

37
Q

What are the three lymphatic trunks?

A

intestinal, right lumbar, left lumbar

38
Q

Which organs drain into the left lumbar lymphatic trunk?

A

the hindgut organs and pelvic organs

39
Q

Most GI organ sensory organ is carried through the (parasympathetic/sympathetic) division.

A

sympathetic

40
Q

Which organs might have some sensory information carried via the parasympathetic division of the ANS?

A

pelvic organs

41
Q

Which division of the ANS has long preganglionic nerve fibers?

A

parasympathetic

42
Q

The greater splanchnic nerves synapse in what abdominal ganglion?

A

celiac

43
Q

The lesser splanchnic nerves synapse in what abdominal ganglion?

A

superior mesenteric

44
Q

The least splanchnic nerves synapse in what abdominal ganglion?

A

inferior mesenteric ganglion

45
Q

Lumbar and sacral splanchnic nerves pass through what ganglion?

A

superior and inferior hypogastric plexus

46
Q

Visceral innervation of the organs comes from what two parasympathetic nerves?

A
  • vagus nerve

- pelvic splanchnic nerve

47
Q

The pelvic splanchnic nerve supplies parasympathetic visceral innervation to what orgnas?

A

hindgut organs

48
Q

What mix in nerve plexi?

A

parasympathetic preganglionic nerves with sympathetic postganglionic nerves
