AGRS 3 Flashcards
(25 cards)
what connects the liver to the anterior abdominal wall?
Falciform ligament = liver to anterior abdominal wall
what connect the liver to the stomach?
Hepatogastric ligament = liver to stomach (part of lesser omentum)
what connects the liver to the duodenum?
Hepatoduodenal ligament = liver to duodenum (contains portal triad!)
what connects the stomach to the spleen?
Gastrosplenic ligament = stomach to spleen
whay connects the spleen to the posterior abdominal wall?
Splenorenal ligament = spleen to posterior abdominal wall
Q30: What does the hepatoduodenal ligament contain?
A: Portal triad: hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile duct.
Q29: What are the peritoneal attachments of the liver?
A:
Falciform ligament (to anterior abdominal wall)
Lesser omentum (to stomach and duodenum via hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal ligaments)
Q28: Is the liver intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal?
A: Intraperitoneal, except for the bare area.
Q22: What organs derive from the foregut?
A: Esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, 1st & 2nd part of duodenum.
Q23: What is the arterial supply of the foregut?
Coeliac trunk.
Q24: What organs derive from the midgut?
A: 3rd and 4th part of duodenum, jejunum, ileum, appendix, ascending colon, proximal 2/3 of transverse colon.
Q25: What is the arterial supply of the midgut?
A: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA).
Q26: What organs derive from the hindgut?
A: Distal 1/3 of transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum (upper part), anal canal (above pectinate line).
Q27: What is the arterial supply of the hindgut?
A: Inferior mesenteric artery (IMA).
Q13: What is the lesser sac also called?
A: The omental bursa.
Q14: What is the epiploic (omental) foramen?
A: The passage between greater and lesser sacs, behind the hepatoduodenal ligament.
Q15: What are the boundaries of the epiploic foramen?
A:
Anterior: Hepatoduodenal ligament
Posterior: IVC
Superior: Liver
Inferior: First part of duodenum
Q16: What divides the greater sac into supracolic and infracolic compartments?
A: The transverse mesocolon.
Q17: What defines an intraperitoneal organ?
A: Completely surrounded by visceral peritoneum and suspended by a mesentery.
Q18: What defines a retroperitoneal organ?
A: Only covered anteriorly by peritoneum and fixed to the posterior abdominal wall.
Q19: Give examples of intraperitoneal organs.
A: Stomach, liver, spleen, jejunum, ileum, transverse colon, sigmoid colon, appendix.
Q20: What is a primary retroperitoneal organ?
A: Organs that developed outside the peritoneal cavity (e.g. kidneys, adrenal glands).
Q21: What is a secondary retroperitoneal organ?
A: Organs that began intraperitoneal but became retroperitoneal (e.g. pancreas, ascending/descending colon, parts of duodenum).
Q5: What is the greater omentum?
A: A four-layered fold hanging from the greater curvature of the stomach to the transverse colon.
