The esophagus, duodenum, liver, gallbladder, stomach, pancreas, spleen make up what gut?
Foregut
What are the 3 major branches of the abdominal aorta and what gut do they supply?
Celiac artery - supplies the foregut

Superior mesenteric artery - supplies the midgut

Inferior mesenteric artery - supplies the hindgut
The celiac trunk branches off of what vessel and what are the 3 names of it's branches?
Branches off the anterior aorta about an inch below the diaphragm and it is about an inch long.

Its branches are:

Left gastric
Splenic
Common hepatic
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

Splenic artery - longest and largest of the branches. Runs along upper border of pancreas. 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
What artery branches into proper hepatic artery?
Common hepatic artery
What artery gives rise to cystic artery?
Right hepatic artery
Describe branches of venous blood supply starting with inferior mesenteric vein
IMV --> Splenic --> Portal vein
Describe branches of venous blood supply starting with superior mesenteric vein
SMV --> Portal vein
What two major veins drain into portal vein?
Superior mesenteric and splenic veins
Describe branches of venous blood supply starting with portal vein
Portal vein --> sinusoid --> central vein --> sublobular --> 2-3 hepatic veins --> inferior vena cava

Portal vein blood then flows into the portal triads to the sinusoids to the central veins to the sublobular veins to the hepatic veins to the inferior vena cava
What is the function, location, and structure of the esophagus?
Function - transmit food to stomach

Location - posterior mediastinum, posterior to trachea, passes through diaphragm at esophogeal hiatus

Structure - upper 1/3 is skeletal muscle. Lower 2/3 is smooth muscle
What is the function, location, and 4 parts of the structure of the stomach?
Function - reservoir for food

Location - upper left quadrant fixed at ends and movable in middle

Structure - four parts:
Cardia= on left inferior to apex of heart, receives the esophagus
Fundus corpus
Pylorus
Corpus (body)
What are the 3 internal structures of the stomach?
Rugae
Gastric pits
Gastric glands
_________ curvature of the stomach is concave and is attached to the ________ omentum.
Lesser
________ 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?
the quadrate and caudate 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?
Triangular ligaments
What is the function, location and structure of the pancreas?
Function-production and secretion of hormones and digestive enzymes

Location-posterior to stomach from concavity of duodenum to spleen

Structure-head, neck and tail
What duct goes through entire pancreas and what duct does it join when it exits duodenal papilla?
Main pancreatic duct joins common bile duct
What structure secretes hormones in the pancreas?
Islets of langerhans
What duct is a branch of the main duct in the head of the pancreas and opens independently 1 inch above papilla?
Accessory pancreatic duct (Santorini)
What is the name of the posterior projection of the inferior part of the head of the pancreas?
Uncinate process
The tail of the pancreas touches what organ?
The spleen
Describe the three blood supply branchings to the pancreas starting with:
-splenic
-gastroduodenal
-superior mesenteric artery
-Splenic--> dorsal and greater pancreatic arteries --> body and tail
-Gastroduodenal--> anterior and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal --> Head and neck
-superior mesenteric artery --> anterior and posterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal --> Head and neck
What is the function, location and structure of the gallbladder?
Function- Storage and concentration of bile

Location- visceral surface of right lobe of liver

Structure- neck, body, fundus holds 50-100 mL of bile
Describes the branching of ducts from the gallbladder starting with right and left hepatic duct
Right and left hepatic duct --> common hepatic duct

Common hepatic duct and cystic duct --> common bile duct (pierces medial wall of second part of duodenum with main pancreatic duct)
What is the major duodenal papilla on the luminal side of the gallbladder?
Hepatopancreatic ampulla (ampulla of Vater)
What wraps around the ampulla and is smooth muscle wrapping around the papilla terminan to the common bile duct and pancreatic duct?
Hepatopancreatic sphincter (sphincter of Oddi)
What is the function and location of the spleen?
