40
Q

Where are the first and second parts of the duodenum?

A

Foregut

41
Q

Where are the 3rd and 4th parts of the duodenum?

A

Midgut

42
Q

List out one intraperitoneal organ of fore-, mid- and hindgut separately.

A

foregut - esophagus
midgut - ilium
hindgut - sigmoid colon

43
Q

What are the anterior lobes of the liver?

A

Right and left lobes connected by falciform ligament

44
Q

What are the posterior lobes of the liver?

A

Caudate and Quadrate lobes (Medial to IVA and gallbladder)

45
Q

Whats the difference between hepatic and portal veins?

A

Hepatic veins drain to inferior vena cava
portal veins are nutrient enriched and deoxygenated

46
Q

What is the pulmonary artery for regarding pulmonary circulation?

A

gas exchange

47
Q

What is the bronchial artery for regarding pulmonary circulation?

A

Nutrients and oxygen for lung functions

48
Q

** All endocrine glands have extraordinarily abundant blood supply. True or False?**

A

True

49
Q

What does the pancreas do?

A

Endocrine: insulin and glucagon
Exocrine: digestive enzymes

50
Q

** Which organ is Kehr’s sign related to? **

A

Capsule of the Spleen

thin and easy lacerated, bleeding, referral pain on the left shoulder

51
Q

Why is the splenic artery from the celiac trunk tortuous?

A

Trabecular artery gives out multiple short gastric arteries

52
Q

A patient suffers from chronic peptic ulcer. Deficiency of which vitamin absorption will cause severe medical problems? How can this happen?

A

Vitamin B12, not eating enough animal products

53
Q

What arteries supply the midgut?

A

superior mesenteric artery
*Middle colic artery
*Right colic artery
Jejunal arteries
Ileal arteries
*Ileocolic artery
- Marginal artery

54
Q

What arteries supply the hindgut?

A

inferior mesenteric artery
*Left colic artery
*Sigmoid arteries
- Marginal artery
*Superior rectal artery

55
Q

What are the 4 types of mesenteries?

A
  1. Mesentery proper: superior mesenteric artery branches for jejunum, ileum

56
Q

What is the difference between the jejunum and ileum?

A

Less layer of arcades and longer vasa recta in jejunum
Less circular folds in ileum compared to jejunum: jejunum mainly absorbs nutrients

Internal hemorrhoids

64
Q

Paraumbilical vein back flow causes what?

A

Caput medusae

65
Q

What is the function of the kidneys?

A
  • Waste excretion out of blood: urine production

66
Q

Which kidney is lower than the other?

A

Right lower than the left due to the liver

67
Q

*** What is an AAA?

A

abdonimal aortic aneurism - increasing risk inferior to renal artery

68
Q

When does “nutcracker syndrome” occur?

A

When the left renal vein is impinged between the superior mesenteric artery and the anterior aorta - causes blood in urine and a swollen scrotum

69
Q

What is the medulla of the adrenal glands?

A

sympathetic ganglion - neurons release epinephrine and norepinephrine

70
Q

Where is the abdominal hiatus for the abdominal aorta?

A

T12 - median arcuate ligament

71
