Q

does stomach receive blood from all three branches of celiac trunk? what are they?

A

yes
short gastric (from splenic)
lesser: L/R gastric
greater: L gastroepi (from splenic), R gastroepi (from gastroduodenal/common hepatic

Q

inferior mesenteric artery branches 3?

A

descending colon (L colic artery)
sigmoid (sigmoid arteries)
rectum (superior rectal artery)

17
Q

all colic arteries and sigmoid artery feed into what?

A
marginal artery (runs around length of colon)
this is the anastomotic cnxn btwn SMA and IMA
18
Q

variations

A

common hepatic branches from sup mesenteric

proximal bifurcation of common hepatic

19
Q

pancreas location

A

behind stomach (2ndarily peritoneal)

20
Q

3 sources of pancreatic blood supply?

A

sup pancreaticduodenal
inf pancreaticduodenal
panc branches off of splenic

21
Q

anastomosis between celiac trunk and SMA

A

pacreaticoduodenal arcade

22
Q

2 paths of venous drainage from abdominopelvic cavity

A

hepatic protal vein (to liver)

inferior vena cava (to heart)

23
Q

hepatic portal system gets from?

A

gut tube (thru superior rectum)
pancreas
spleen

peritoneal and 2ndarily retroperitoneal organs

24
Q

inferior VC gets from?

A

kidney
gonads
inferior rectum

PRIMARILY RETROPERITONEAL organs

25
Q

hepatic vein gets from (4)?

A

L/R gastric veins
splenic
inf mesenteric
sup mesenteric

26
Q

3 areas of body that are clinically important (drained by both portal/IVC system)

A

lower esophageal veins
paraumbilical veins
rectal veins

27
Q

what’s significant about portal system veins?

A

no valves!
blood can flow backward and pushed into IVC without passing through liver
varicosities (swollen veins) indicate portal hypertension

28
Q

hemorrhoids “butt”

A

portal vein –> inf mesenteric –> sup rectal veins –> middle/inf rectal –> int iliac (systemic)
dilation and swelling in rectal venous plexus

29
Q

esophageal varices “gut”

A

portal vein –> L gastric –> esophageal –> azygos (systemic)
dilation and rupture when swallowing
most difficult to detect, substantial bleeding

30
Q

paraumbilical varices “caput”

A

portal vein –> paraumbilical (flank round ligament) –> superficial epigastric –> ext iliac (systemic)
dilate and form Caput Medusae

31
Q

what is the hepatic triangle and what traverses it?

A

liver
cystic duct
common hepatic duct
cystic artery goes thru here to supply GB

32
Q

what pathologies can cause narrowing of hepatic vessels?

A

congenital stenosis
thrombosis
liver disease e.g. hepatitis or cirrhosis
ALL cause portal hypertension
