3. Aorta abdominalis, v. cava caudalis, v. portae Flashcards
(95 cards)
Which part of the aorta does aorta abdominals belong to?
It’s the 2nd part of Aorta descendens, with aorta thoracica
Describe aorta abdominalis. It’s starting point to continuation
• Starts behind Diaphragm, behind Hiatcus aorticus –> in front of pelvic cavity.
What’s the continuation of aorta abdominalis on left and right side?
On left side it lies more on top of abdominal cavity
On the right side more towards v. cava caudalis
What’s typical for continuation of the aorta abdominlis on the right side along v. cava caudalis?
That it consists of many visceral and parietal branches that supply organs of;
- abdominal cavity
- parietal wall
- abdominal wall/lumbar muscles
What’s the branches of aorta abdominalis?
- a. abdominalis cranialis
- a. coeliaca
- a. mesenterica cranialis
- aa. renales
- aa. ovaricae/testiculares
- a. mesenterica caudalis
- aa. lumbales
- sacralis mediana
- Only in Ru, Su, Car: a. phrenica caudalis
a. phrenica caudalis;
- Specie differences
- Supply
- Origin
- Only in Car, Ru, Sus
- Supply dorsal part of diaphragm, for diaphragm pillars
Different origin depending on specie but around/inside Hiatus aorticus;
• In Car: Can have common origin with a. abdominalis cranialis or be an independent branch
- In Sus, Ru: Mostly arises from a. coeliaca but sometimes interorigins that it’s arises from a. lumbalis or a. intercostalis dorsalis and continue into the muscular part of the diaphragm Supplying diaphragma papillars
- In Ca: a. phrenica caudalis dextra, on the right side arises independently as a. phrenicoabdominalis as a branch of a. renalis dextra.
In Eq, which branch from Aorta abdominalis supply the diaphragm?
The a. phrenica cranialis
as a branch of aorta thoracica
In which species can a. abdominalis cranialis be found?
In Car, Sus
Where is a. abdominalis cranialis situated and what does it supply?
Which side/s can be it be found at?
- Situated close to Diaphragm
- Supply: (abdominal muscles)
M transversus abdominis
M. obliquus internus abdominis
Partly continues into sublumbar muscles, fat around kidneys and glandulae adrenals with rr. adrenales
- Generally a paired branch = Continuaing on both right and left side into abdominal muscles
Which are they imp branches of aorta descendens for organs of abdominal cavity?
a. coelica
a. mesenterica cranialis
aa. renales
aa. ovaricae/testiculare
a. mesenteria caudalis
aa. lumbales
a. sacralis mediana
What’s the 1st visceral branch in all domestic animals of aorta abdominalis and what does it supply?
- A. coeliaca
- Suppy stomach, liver, spleen, pancreas and part of duodenum
What’s the 3 branches of a. coeliaca in monogastric animals?
What’s their origin?
o a. lienalis
- on left side to the spleen
o a. gastrica sinistra
- in the middle on the curvatura ventriculi minor
o a. hepatica
- on the right side to the area of the liver
What’s Tripus coeliacus and in which species?
Found in Eq, Car.
It’s that common branching point from a. coeliaca for a. lienalis , a. gastrica sinistra, a. hepatica
What’s the origin of a. coeliaca?
Arises from aorta abdominalis from ventral wall
“Cranial ventrally division of aorta abdominalis”
What’s the specie differences when it comes to Tripus coeliacus?
In Car, Eq; The 3 main branches of a. coeliaca form this structure and originate from some poisition
In Sus: Same branches but does not originate from one point and therefore not called Tripus coeliacus.
A. coeliaca, is it short/long , unpaired/paired trunk?
It’s a short and unpaired trunk
a. lienalis is a branch of which artery?
Describe it’s continuation
a. coeliaca, from aorta abdominalis
- Branches out from aorta abdominalis, more to the left. Enters into lig. gastrolienale and into hilus lienalis of the spleen as rr. lienales.
Continues on curvatura ventriculi major of stomach along Omentum majus/epiplome as a branch; - gastroepiploica sinistra
What’s the branch of the branch a. lienalis?
Along omentum majus of curvatura ventriculi major of stomach a. lienalis branches as;
- a. gastroepiploica sinistra
Which has 2 own branches; - - aa. gastricae brevis
- rr. pancreatici
a. gastroepiploica sinistra of a. lienalis has two branches, which are these and what does they supply?
aa. gastricae breves
- supply parietal and visceral surface of stomach
rr. pancreatici
- Branches supplying pancreas
a. gastrica sinistra is an branch off?
Independent branch of a. coeliaca
a. gastrica sinistra differs slightly in Eq, how?
That it’s divided into 2 branches
- r. parietalis et visceralis
In Car, Eq, Sus;
Only 1 branch
- rr esophagei
What does r. parietalis et visceralis in Eq supply?
Visceral and parietal surface of the stomach
What does rr. esophagei in Eq, Car, Sus supply?
Supply abdominal part of Esophagus
Short part of esophagus that’s entering into the stomach
What’s the 3rd branch of a. coeliaca and on which side can it be found and imp for
3rd branch = a. hepatica
Found on right side
Imp for livers nutrition
