From what is the peritoneum derived?
Mesenchymal cells
In which sex is the peritoneum a closed cavity?
Male; in the female it is open due to the communication via the opening of uterine tube
Lines the wall of the abdominal and pelvic cavities
Parietal peritoneum (Outside the parietal layer is a layer of CT called the extraperitoneal layer:fatty)
Name the 3 specializations of the peritoneum
Mesentary, Omentum, Ligament
What connects the greater sac to the lesser sac?
Epiploic foramen/Foramen of WInslow
Lesser sac AKA
Omental bursa
Which division of the peritoneal cavity is formed as a result of the rotation of the gut?
Lesser Sac/Omental bursa
Allows an organ's neruovascular structures to reach it from the abdominal wall
Mesentery
When the peritoneum continues to an organ
Mesentery (Ex, Transverse mesocolon and mesentery of the SI)
A 2 layered fold of peritoneum that attaches the STOMACH to another structure
Omentum (Greater and Lesser)
To what does the greater omentum attach the stomach?
To the transverse colon
To what does the lesser omentum attach the stomach?
To the liver (Note: it also attaches a small part of the duodenum to the liver)
2 layered folds of peritoneum that attach the less mobile, solid viscera to the abdominal wall or other organs
Peritoneal Ligaments
Attachment of falciform ligament
Attaches liver to anterior abdominal wall
Attachment of Lienoreal/Splenorenal ligament
Attaches spleen to posterior wall at the level of the kidney
Attachment of the triangular ligament
Attaches liver to inferior diaphragm (helps to form bare area of liver)
When viscera is only covered with peritoneum on the anterior surface
Retroperitoneal
An abdominal organ that is almost completely covered by visceral peritoneum and grows into the peritoneal cavity
Intraperitoneal
From where and to where does the ligamentum teres extend? Also, what is it a remnant of?
Extends from the umbilicus to the porta hepatis (door of liver); remnant of the fetal left umbilical vein
The R lamina of the falciform ligament forms what?
anterior and posterior layer of the coronary ligament, and the right triangular which encloses the bare area of the liver
The L lamina of the falciform ligament forms what?
Left triangular ligament
The GO is a derivative of which mesentary?
Dorsal
The LO is a derivative of which mesentary?
Ventral
The Falciform ligament is a derivative of which mesentary?
Ventral
Name 2 subdivisions of the LO
Hepatoduodenal ligament and Hepatogastric Ligament
From the porta hepatis to the first inch of duodenum
Hepatoduodenal ligament (encloses the portal triad)
Encloses the portal triad
Hepatoduodenal ligament
What is the portal triad?
Common bile duct, Hepatic artery, Portal vein
What forms the anterior border of epiploic foramen?
Hepatoduodenal ligament
From the fissure for the ligamentum venosum near porta hepatis to the lesser curvature of the stomach
Hepatogastric ligament
What does the hepatogastric ligament enclose?
Right and Left gastric arteries
What forms the floor of the omental foramen?
IVC
Name the 4 lobes of the liver
R,L, Quadrate and Caudate
Where there is no peritoneum that intervenes between the liver and the diaphragm
Bare area of the liver
Where does the GO extend?
Extends from the greater curvature of the stomach down over the coils of the intestine. (Doubles up on itselft o form a 4 layered structure of mesentary that attaches to the transverse colon)
Name the 3 parts of the GO
Gastrocolic, Gastrosplenic (gastrolineal) and Gastrophrenic
What does the GO enclose?
R and L gastroepiploic vessels
Policeman of the peritoneal cavity; walls of areas of infection
GO
What does the gastrosplenic ligament enclose?
Short gastric vessels
The gastrosplenic ligament extends from the hilus of the spleen to what part of the stomach?
Fundus of the stomach
What does the splenorenal ligament enclose?
Splenic vessels
What does the transverese mesocolon enclose?
middle colic vessels (branches of superior mesenteric)
What does the sigmoid mesocolon enclose?
sigmoid colon vessels (branches of inferior mesenteric)
The intestine may strangulate in which fossa?
Paraduodenal
Name to 4 parts of the stomach
Cardiac, fundus, body, pyloric part (antrum, canal, sphincter)
Name the 3 parts of the pyloric part of the stomach
Antrum, canal and sphincter
The only part of the SI that is mostly retroperitoneal
Duodenum
Direct the flow of fluids toward the pelvis when standing
Paracloic gutters
Why are only the transverse and sigmoid colons mobile?
during development, the asc and desc colon are forced against the posterior ab wall and their mesentery dissapears rendering them immobile
Suspends the jejunum and ileum from the posterior ab wall
THE Mesentery
What does THE Mesentery enclose?
intestinal and ileocolic vessels (superior mesenteric branches)
Which nerves innervate the parietal peritoneum?
somatic afferent fibers sensitive to pain, touch, temp and pressure. (Intercostal and subcostal nerves: T7-12, Phrenic, L1)
Name some functions of the peritoneum
ensures mobility of viscera, fat sotrage, conduit for lymph and BV and nerves, wall off infections, pushes fluid into the subphrenic spaces
Large fossa that lies to the left of the ascending duodenum that may pose a threat for a hernia/strangulation
Paraduodenal fossa
When surgically repairing a paraduodenal hernia, what 2 arteries do you have to be careful of?
Inferior mesenteric artery/vein and Ascending branches of the L colic artery
