the proximal portion of the first part
is the majority of the dudenum retroperitoneal?
yes, secondarily retroperitoneal
what portion of the duodenum contains the entrances of the bile ducts?
the second portion
what ligament, descending from the liver, contains the bile duct?
the hepatoduodenal ligament
what embryologic structure does the hepatoduodenal ligament mark the end of?
the ventral mesentery
which is more anterior, the duodenum or the sma?
the sma
what arteries supply the duodenum up to the hepatoduodenal ligament?
the celiac axis via the gastroduodenal and superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries
what is the name of the valve where the ileum empties into the cecum?
the iliocecal valve
which has longer vasa recta, iliem or jejunum?
jejunum
which has more vascular arcades, the ileum or jejunum?
ileum
which has more fat on its surface, messentery of the ileum or jejunum?
ileum
what is the destination of sympathetics that want to affect the small intestine?
the pre-aortic ganglia around the celiac axis and sma
are the splanchnic nerves controlling the small intestine pre or post ganglionic?
pre
what is the source of parasympathetic regulation of the small intestine
the vagus nerve
what are the divisions of the large intestine?
cecum, ascending, transverse, descending, and signmoid colons, and rectum and anus
what are the taeniae coli?
the smooth muscle of the large intestine arranged into three longitudinal bands
what are the haustra?
outpouchings of the colon found between the taeniae coli
what is the name of the collections of fatty tissue on the surface of the colon?
appendices epiploicae
which sections of the colon have mesenteries?
the transverse and sigmoid
is the cecum retroperitoneal?
no, but it doesn't have a mesentery either
is the rectum secondarily retroperitoneal?
no, it's primarily retroperitoneal
where does the transition from midgut to hindgut occur?
close to the splenic flexure, but there is no clear demarcation?
what does the transition from midgut to hindgut imply about arterial supply?
changes from sma to ima
what supplies parasympathetic innervation to the hindgut?
the pelvic splanchnics
where are the origins of the post ganglionic sympathetics innervating the hindgut?
the inferior mesenteric ganglia
what branches of the sma supply the colon?
the middle colic, right colic, and ileocolic
what parts of the colon does the sma supply?
the appendix, ascending, cecum, and transverse
what parts of the colon does the ima supply?
the descending and sigmoid
what branches of the ima supply the colon?
the left colic and sigmoid arteries
what provides the drainage of the colon?
the inferior and superior mesenteric veins
what vein does the smv usually join with?
the splenic vein
what are the two places where the imv might drain?
the smv or splenic vein
where does lymph from the colon drain?
the cisterna chyli and thoracic duct
does the rectum have taeniae coli?
no, it has a complete circumferential longitudinal muscle layer
what vessels are primarily retroperitoneal?
the aorta, ivc, and iliac arteries, and also the ureter
what organs are primarily retroperitoneal?
kidneys, adrenals, and rectum
what organs are considered intraperitoneal?
the liver, gallbladder, distal esophagus, stomach, proximal duodenum, dmall bowel, cecum, transverse colon, sigmoid colon, spleen, uterus, and ovaries
where are the four peritoneal gutters?
one on either side of the ascending colon, and one on either side of the descending colon
which gutter does not drain directly to the pelvic cavity?
the one medial to the ascending colon (the small bowel mesentery blocks it)
what is the purpose of the duodenum?
prepare food for digestion and absorption.
does the small intestine extend into the pelvic cavity?
yes
where are the plicae circulares most numerous?
the proximal jejunum
what are the plicae circulares?
folds in the mucosal surface of the small bowel
what are the plicae semilunares?
folds of the mucosal surface of the colon
do the plicae semilunares encircle the whole colon?
no
does the number of plicae circulares increase or decrease from the proximal to distal jejunum?
increase
is the mesenteric capillary bed more extensive in the jejunum or ileum?
jejunum
can the appendix be located in more than one place?
yes
what is the hepatic flexure?
a bend in the large intestine near the liver
what is the splenic flexure?
a bend in the large intestine near the spleen
what two structures are found between the sma and aorta?
the left renal vein and 3rd portion of the duodenum
what artery provides a route for collateral flow between the sma and ima?
the marginal artery
what arteries join to form the portal vein?
sma, ima, and splenic vein
what are the four anastamoses that the portal vein can back up into?
esophageal, paraumbilical, retroperitoneal, and rectal
