splenorenal ligament

24
Q

What is the double-layer of peritoneum attaching the transverse colon to the pancreas and duodenum along the posterior wall?

A

transverse mesocolon

25
Q

What ligament is the left end of the transverse mesocolon and attaches the left colic flexure to the diaphragm?

A

phrenicocolic ligament

26
Q

What suspends the jejunum and ileum from the posterior abdominal wall?

mesentery

27
Q

What is the anchor point of the mesentery to the posterior abdominal wall running at an angle from the LUQ to the RLQ?

A

root of the mesentery

28
Q

What is the mesentery attaching the appendix to the posterior abdominal wall? What does it contain?

A

mesoappendix

contains appendicular artery

29
Q

What suspends the sigmoid colon from the posterior abdominal wall?

sigmoid mesocolon

30
Q

All the peritoneal structures are found in the peritoneal cavity call the ____ which is readily viewable. The ___ is found posterior to the stomach and lesser omentum.

A

greater peritoneal sac

lesser peritoneal sac (omental bursa)

31
Q

What connects the greater and lesser peritoneal sacs? What are the boundaries?

A

omental foramen (epiploic foramen)

  • anterior- hepatic portal vein, hepatic artery proper, bile duct within hepatoduodenal ligament
  • posterior- inferior vena cava and right crus of the diaphragm
  • superior- caudate lobe of the liver
  • inferior- 1st part of the duodenum
32
Q

What is the sharp, anterior edge separating the daphragmatic surface of the visceral surface? (liver)

A

inferior border of the liver

33
Q

What is a general area where structures enter/exit the liver? Where is this located?

A

porta hepatis on the visceral surface of the liver

34
Q

What are the contents and locations of things in the omental foramen?

A
  • common bile duct- anterior and most lateral
  • hepatic artery proper- anterior and medial
  • hepatic portal vein- posterior (deepest)
35
Q

Tracing the bile duct superior will lead to what two things?

A

cystic duct and common hepatic duct

36
Q

Common hepatic duct has what two tributaries? Found at what level?

A

right hepatic duct and left hepatic duct

level of the porta hepatis

37
Q

The tough tissue covering the hepatic artery proper is what? What does the artery bifurcate to and at what level?

A

an autonomic nerve plexus

bifurcates to the right hepatic artery and left hepatic artery at the level of the porta hepatis

38
Q

What are the borders of the cystohepatic triangle? What will this help us find?

A

cystic duct, common hepatic duct, and liver

helps find the cystic artery arising from the right hepatic artery

39
Q

What artery arises from hepatic artery proper and can be followed inferiorly toward the pylorus and then the lesser curvature of the stomach?

A

right gastric artery

40
Q

Following the hepatic artery proper inferiorly will lead to what artery? What other artery is seen in this location?

A

common hepatic artery- more horizontal and bifurcates into the descending gastroduodenal artery and the ascending hepatic artery proper

gastroduodenal artery

41
Q

Following the gastroduodenal artery posterior to the 1st part of the duodenum will lead to a bifurcation. Name the two arteries.

A

right gastro-omental artery

anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery

42
Q

A

T12

43
Q

What are the remaining branches of the celiac trunk?

A

splenic artery and left gastric artery

44
Q

What should have a horizontal trajectory, passing posterior to the stomach along the superior margin of the pancreas?

A

splenic artery

45
Q

What should have a superior trajectory, aiming toward the esophagus to gain access to the superior end of the lesser curvature?

A

left gastric artery

46
Q

What 4 things do the spleen abut?

A

49
Q
