Q

describe the serosa/adventitia…

A

structure:

Q

distinguish between serosa and adventitia layers of the gastrointestinal wall…

A

serosa is found in parts of the gi tract that are within the peritoneal cavity: stomach, small and parts of large intestine.
adventitia is found in parts of the gi tract that are outside of the peritoneal cavity such as esophagus and some parts of the large intestine.

Q

what are the details of the stomach

A

lesser curvature, greater curvature: the top and bottom curve of the stomach.
cardia: located near the gastroesophageal junction.
fundus: the upper region of the stomach
body:the largest and central part of the organ responsible for mixing food with gastric secretions
pylorus: distal portion of the stomach
cardiac sphincter/lower esophageal sphincter: prevents reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus
pyloric sphincter: controls flow of chyme from the stomach into the small intestine.

26
Q

what is rugae?

A

folds of the mucosa and submucosa that increase the surface area for more efficient digestion.

27
Q

what are sphincters?

A

regulate flow of substances within the body.

28
Q

what are omentum?

A

fold of peritoneum: greater omentum and lesser omentum.

29
Q

whats the duodenum?

A

the first part of the small intestine after the stomach

30
Q

whats the jejunum?

A

the middle segment of the small intestine located between the duodenum and ileum

31
Q

whats the ileum?

A

final segment of the small intestine following the jejunum.

32
Q

whats the ileocecal valve?

A

sphincter like structure located at the junction between the ileum and the cecum

33
Q

what is the function of the villi and microvilli?

A

structure usually found in the mucosa that greatly increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients

34
Q

what is plicae circularis?

A

found in mucosa and submucosa of the small intestine

35
Q

where are the mucosa associated lymphatic tissue and peyers patches found?

A

found in mucosal membranes throughout the body

36
Q

what is the cecum?

A

pouch like structure that marks the beginning of the large intestine/colon

37
Q

what is the appendix?

A

small organ attached to cecum which is the beginning of the large intestine

38
Q

what is the ascending colon?

A

segmentt of the large intestine that begins at the cecum

39
Q

transverse colon?

A

major segment of the large intestine after the ascending colon

40
Q

what is the descending colon?

A

segment of the large intestine that follows the transverse colon

41
Q

what is the sigmoid colon?

A

s shaped segment of the large intestine that connects the descending colon to the rectum

42
Q

what is the diverticula?

A

small bulging pouches that can develop in the lining of the digestive system particularly in the large intestine

43
Q

what are tenae coli and epiploic appendages?

A

tenae coli: 3 bands of smooth muscle that run along the length of the colon.
epiploic appendages: small fat filled pouches of visceral peritoneum.

44
Q

what is the rectum?

A

final segment of the large intestine located above the anal canal

44
Q

what is the anus?

A

the terminal part of the digestive tract and serves as the opening through which feces are expelled from the body during defecation.

45
Q

internal anal sphincter?

A

smooth muscle: located in the anal canal and it keeps it closed to prevent the involuntary release of feces and gases.

46
Q

external anal sphincter?

A

skeletal muscle: surrounding the anal canal that provides voluntary control over defecation and supports fecal continence by allowing or preventing the release of feces.

47
Q

whats the definition and purpose for the hepatic portal circulation?

A

the hepatic portal circulation is a blood flow system that directs nutrient rich and potentially toxic blood from the digestive organs to the liver for processing and detox before returning to the heart.

48
Q

what is the gastric vein responsible for?

A

responsible for draining deoxygenated blood from the stomach and delivering it to the hepatic portal vein which then goes to the liver.

49
Q

what is the pancreatic vein responsible for?

A

responsible for draining blood from the pancreas and delivering it to the hepatic portal vein then goes to liver.

50
Q

what is the inferior mesenteric vein responsible for?

A

collects deoxygenated blood from the lower parts of the gi tract and combines with splenic vein to form the hepatic portal vein

51
Q

what is the superior mesenteric vein responsible for?

A

collects deoxygenated blood from the small intestine. it combines with the splenic vein to form the hepatic portal vein

52
Q

portal vein vs hepatic vein

A

portal vein carries deoxygenated blood from the gi tract and spleen to the liver. the hepatic vein drain deoxygenated blood from the liver into the inferior vena cava.

53
Q

what abdominopelvic region and quadrant is the liver in?

A

it lies in the right hypochondriac region/right upper quadrant

54
Q

what is the location of the liver?

A

it sits directly beneath the diaphragm and superior to the stomach

55
Q

how many lobes of the liver are there?

A

4 lobes

56
Q

what are the names and source of the two main blood vessels entering the liver?

A

hepatic artery: delivers oxygen rich blood to the liver and hepatic portal vein brings deoxygenated blood from the digestive organs to the liver

57
Q

what are bile salts?

A

produced by liver and they help break down large amounts of fat.

58
Q

where do bile pigments originate from

A

breakdown of heme

59
Q

where does cholesterol originate from?

A

originates in the liver

60
Q

Identify, in order, the components that bile passes through from its source in the liver to
its exit from the body according to the following guidelines

A

right hepatic duct, left hepatic duct, common hepatic duct, cystic duct, gallbladder, common bile duct, dueodenum, hepatopancreatic ampulla, hepatopancreatic sphincter, small intestine.
