spleen
left kidney
suprarenal gland
pancreas
transverse colon and transverse mesocolon
28
Q

paraduodenal hernias

A

inconstant folds of peritoneum that surrond the third and fourth parts of the duodenum
sometimes small intestines can herniate into paraduodenal fossa created by these folds
surgical repair needs to be careful not to injure inferior mesenteric vessels

29
Q

lymphatics of duodenum

A

anterior to pancreaticoduodenal nodes -> pyloric -> celiac nodes
posterior drainage to superior mesenteric nodes

30
Q

jejunoileum

A

pertionealized
6-7m long
jejunum 2/5s of this mostly in LUQ
illeum 3/5s mostly RLQ and false pelvis

31
Q

mesentery proper

A

root- where attached to posterior body wall
extends on left from LV2 to right sacroiliac joint
crosses duodenum, aorta, IVC, ureter, psoas major, right gonadal vv

32
Q

ilium compared to jejunum

A

thicker wall due to more mm and wider diameter
more plica circulares
incresed vascularity and deeper red color
less mesenteric fat
few peyers patches

33
Q

paralyticileus

A

obstruction of intestine

can be caused by loss of blood supply

34
Q

lymphatic drainage of jeunoileum

A

juxta-intestinal nodes -> mesenteric nodes -> superior mesenteric nodes

35
Q

large intestine

A

cecum, appendix, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, anal canal

36
Q

external cecum -> rectosigmoidal junction

A
larger diameter then small intestine
tenja coli- longitiudinal muscle is incomplete and present as 3 thick bands
haustra- sacculations of large intestine caused by tonic contractions of tenja coli
omental appendages (fat)
37
Q

internal cecum -> rectosigmoidal junction

A

plica semilunares

mucosa devoid of villi

38
Q

cecum and appendix

formed by anal valves
represents a change in:

-lymphatic; superior -> internal iliac nodes, inferior-> superficial inguinal nodes
-nerve supply; superior- autonomic, inferior -> somatic
- epithelial lining; superior-> typical GI mucous lining, inferior -> stratisfies squamous
