What are the 3 major branches of the abdominal aorta and what gut do they supply?

|
What are the 3 branches of the celiac trunk, and what do they supply?
|
Left gastric artery - supplies the cardiac end of stomach, lesser curvature of stomach, and gives off esophogeal branch, which supplies the abdominal portion of esophagus

It supplies the spleen and gives off gastro-omental branch, which supplies the greater curvature of stomach Common hepatic artery - travels to the right becoming right gastric (which supplies lesser curvature of stomach and anastomoses with left gastric) -Branches into gastroduodenal --> gastro-omental (anastomoses with left gastro-omental) <-- splenic drains here. -The gastroduodenal branches into anterior and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal |

________ curvature of the stomach is convex and is attached to the _________ omentum.
|
Greater
|
|
Name the 4 parts of the duodenum
What structure is at the duodenal jejunal junction? |
1st part = from pylorus of stomach
2nd part = receives bile and pancreatic ducts 3rd part = longest 4th part = connects with jejunum Ligament of Trietz is at the duodenal jejunal junction |
|
What is the largest organ in the body?
|
Liver
|
|
What is the function, location and structure of the liver?
|
Function - Processing of absorbed nutrients and detoxification
Location - superior abdominal cavity, beneath the diaphragm and covered anteriorly by ribs and costal cartilage Structure - largest gland/organ in body. Divided into large right/smaller left lobes by falciform ligament |
|
The right lobe of the liver is subdivided into what 2 lobes?
|

|
|
What is the thin structure surrounding the liver?
|
Glisson's Capsule
|
|
What vessel of the liver is oxygen-poor but nutrient rich?
|
The portal vein
|
|
What liver vessel is oxygen-rich?
|
Hepatic arteries
|
|
What vessel of the liver supplies 75% of the liver's blood?
|
The Portal vein
|
|
What vessel of the liver supplies 25% of the livers blood?
|
Hepatic arteries
|
|
*Described the branching of vessels to the liver starting with the celiac trunk
|
Celiac trunk gives rise to the common hepatic artery which gives rise to the hepatic artery proper which gives rise to the left and right hepatic arteries
|
|
Described the bare area of the liver
|
No visceral peritoneum posteriorly where the liver contacts the diaphragm between coronary ligaments.
|
|
What ligament attaches liver to diaphragm?
|
Coronary ligaments
|
|
What ligaments are between bare area and coronary ligaments of liver?
|
