A

ileocaecal junction

32
Q

where does the midgut meet the hindgut

A

2/3 along the transverse colon

33
Q

what artery supplies the middle of the large intestine

A

middle colic

34
Q

what artery supplies the right side of large intestine

A

right colic

35
Q

which artery supplies the ileocaecal junction

A

ileocolic

36
Q

which artery supplies the appendix

A

appendicular

37
Q

marginal artery of drummond

38
Q

inferior mesanteric

39
Q

which vertebral level does the inferior mesenteric artery branch off the aorta

A

L3

40
Q

which artery supplies the superior part of the rectum

A

superior rectal

41
Q

which artery supplies the left side of the large intestine

A

left colic

42

A

sigmoid artery

43
Q

define what a watershed area is

A

regions of body that receive dual blood supply

44
Q

what is a negative and positive of watershed regions in terms of ischaemia

A

pro :
- if theres a blockage in one of the arteries that supply a watershed area, they are spared from ischaemia due to dual supply

con :
- if there is systemic hypo perfusion (slow/reduced blood flow) it is extremely vulnerable to ischaemia as it is most distal to branches

45
Q

what are the 3 watershed regions in the large intestine

A
  1. around the SMA ileal branches ( near the junction where the large intestine and small intestine meet)
  2. splenic flexure ( upper left corner of LI) (Griffith point)
  3. rectosigmoid junction (sudeck point)
46
Q

what of the gut does the inferior mesenteric vein drain

A

hind gut

47
Q

what vein drains the spleen

A

splenic vein

48
Q

what 2 other structures does the splenic vein drain

A

pancreas and stomach

49
Q

what part of the gut does the superior mesenteric vein drain

A

mid gut

50
Q

the superior mesenteric and splenic vein fuse to form which major vein

A

hepatic portal vein

51
Q

why does the venous blood from the gut go to the liver and not inferior vena cava

A
  • substances absorbed by the bowel need to get stored, altered and detoxified first
52
Q

note the lymphatic drainage has the same name as the arteries

A
53
Q
