week 5: Gallbladder & Biliary Flashcards
part of bile duct system that drains liver into bile duct
common hepatic duct
diameter of CBD
6mm
what does the biliary system consist of
right & left hepatic ducts, CBD, gallbladder, cystic duct
3 functions of the biliary system
- transport bile –> gallbladder
- store bile until needed for digestion
- transport bile from GB–> duodenum
proximal portion of CBD is __ to hepatic artery and ___ to portal vein
- lateral
2. anterior
the right and left hepatic ducts unite to form ___
common hepatic duct
hepatic artery arise from celiac axis and travels ___ to the portal vein and ___ to the common bile duct
- anterior
2. medial
what is the “mickey mouse” sign
portal vein head, hepatic artery as left ear, bile duct as right ear
what is a normal variant that alters the anatomy of the porta hepatis.
replaced right hepatic artery that arises from SMA
cystic duct connects ___ and ____ to form CBD
- neck of gallbladder
2. common hepatic duct
pear-shaped organ that is found on the inferior margin of the liver between the right and left lobes of the liver
gallbladder
landmarks for the gallbladder
- MHV (bw R & L lobe)
- inter lobar fissure (separate R &L lobe)
- portal vein (near neck of GB)
- right kidney
- RUQ
what happens to gallbladder during embryonic development
migrates to the surface of liver and acquires a peritoneal covering
gallbladder is a ____ organ that lies in the ___ position
- intraperitoneal
2. intrahepatic
part of GB that usually projects below the inferior margin of the liver, where it comes into contact with the anterior abdominal wall at the level of the ninth right costal cartilage.
fundus
part of GB that lies in contact with the visceral surface of the liver and is directed upward, backward, and to the left.
body
part of the GB that becomes continuous with the cystic duct, and joins the right side of the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct.
