What structures are apart of the foregut?
Distal 1/2 Oesophagus. Stomach. Pancreas. Liver. Biliary Apparatus. Proximal 1/2 Duodenum.
What is the arterial supply of the foregut?
Branches of the Coeliac axis (Abdominal aorta at T12).
What is the venous drainage of the foregut?
Portal vein.
What is the nerve supply of the foregut?
Coeliac Plexus at T12.
What are the lymphatics of the foregut?
Pre-aortic nodes at T12 (called coeliac nodes).
What is the pain referred to in the foregut?
Epigastric region.
What is the general region of the stomach (surface anatomy)?
Epigastric (to the left of the midline).
Where is the fundus (surface anatomy)?
Rib 5/6.
Where is the oesophagus (surface anatomy)?
Costal cartilage 7/8.
Where is the pylorus (surface anatomy)?
L1 vertebral level.
How many layers are in the muscularis externa of the stomach?
There are three.
Outer = longitudinal.
Middle = Circular.
Oblique = Inner.
What lines the inner wall of the muscularis externa?
Rug. These increase the surface area.
What are the three parts of the stomach?
Fundus.
Body.
Pylorus.
What arteries supply the lesser curvature of the stomach?
Left Gastric and Right Gastric.
What does the left gastric artery branch off from?
Coeliac trunk.
What does the right gastric artery branch off from?
Common Hepatic.
What arteries supply the greater curvature of the stomach?
Left Gastro-omental and Right Gastro-omental.
What does the left gastro-omental artery branch off from?
Splenic artery.
What does the right gastro-omental artery branch off from?
Gasproduodenal which branches off from the Common Hepatic artery.
What is tricophagia?
It is a psychological condition of eating hair - it is associated with trichotillomania (pulling out hair).
If enough hair is ingested a hair ball can form - trichobezoar.
What can tricophagia cause?
Indigestion and stomach pain.
Where does the duodenum originate?
Immediately following the pyloric region of the stomach.
Where is the 1st part of the duodenum?
It is in the Transpyloric Plane (L1) it is superior.
Describe the 1st part (in terms of peritoneum)?
It is intraperitoneal.
Where is the 2nd part of the duodenum ?
It wraps around the head of the pancreas. It is on the right hand side of the midline, and it is descending.
Describe the 2nd part (in terms of peritoneum)?
It is retroperitoneal.
Where is the 3rd part of the duodenum?
It crosses back over the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) and the Aorta. It is inferior.
Describe the 3rd part (in terms of peritoneum)?
It is retroperitoneal.
Where is the 4th part of the duodenum?
It ascends to the Duodenojejunal flexure, which is on the left hand side of the midline. It is ascending.
Describe the 4th part (in terms of peritoneum)?
Retroperitoneal.
What happens halfway along the duodenum?
The foregut transitions to the midgut. The blood, nerves and lymphatics change.
What artery supplies the superior half of the duodenum?
Superior Pancreatoduodenal branches. These come from the Gasproduodenal artery, which comes from the Common Hepatic artery which comes form the Coeliac trunk.
What artery supplies the inferior half of the duodenum?
Inferior Pancreatoduodenal branches. These come from the Superior Mesenteric Origin.
What is the ANS nervous supply for the superior half of the duodenum?
Coeliac Plexus at T12.
What is the ANS nervous supply for the inferior half of the duodenum?
Superior Mesenteric Plexus at L1.
What is the venous drainage of the superior half of the duodenum?
Direct to the Portal Vein.
What is the venous drainage of the inferior half of the duodenum?
Superior Mesenteric vein (SMV).
What is the lymphatic drainage of the superior half of the duodenum?
Pre-aortic coeliac nodes at T12.
What is the lymphatic drainage of the inferior half of the duodenum?
Pre-aortic Superior Mesenteric nodes at L1.
What is the Ampulla of Vater?
Union of Common Bile Duct and Main Pancreatic Duct.
Where does the Major Duodenal Papilla enter?
Through the wall of the Descending Duodenum (2nd Part).
What does the Major Duodenal Papilla control?
The flow of bile (from the liver) and pancreatic juice (from the pancreas) into the duodenum via the Sphincter of Oddi.
What are the structures of the midgut?
Distal 1/2 of duodenum. Jejunum. Ileum. Caecum and Appendix. Ascending colon. 2/3 Transverse colon.
What is the arterial supply of the midgut?
Branches of Superior Mesenteric artery. Abdominal aorta at L1.
What is the venous drainage of the midgut?
Superior Mesenteric Vein.
