connects to posterior abdominal wall, fan-shaped, attachment called “root”
“the mesentery” of jejunum and ileum
jejunum, ileum, transverse and sigmoid colon, first and fourth part of duodenum, cecum, appendix
intraperitoneal segments, covered in visceral peritoneum
middle duodenum, ascending and descending colon
secondarily retroperitoneal segments (developed in a reabsorbed mesentery, stuck to posterior abdominal wall)
has a thick wall and mucosa with circular folds, proximal 2/5
jejunum
thin walls, few if any circular folds, numerous lymphoid nodules, distal 3/5
ileum
1/3 of the way between anterior superior iliac spine and umbilicus
Mc Burney’s point, most common location of appendix
Does the cecum have a mesentery? Does the appendix?
No, yes.
peritoneal gap at the duodenojejunal junction, potential space for fluid or hernia
duodenal recess
Which part of colon has mesentery?
tranverse (fusese with greater omentum during development), sigmoid
colic flexure attached to diaphragm by phrenicocolic ligament, usually superior to other
left colic flexure
approximate location of rectosigmoid junction
S3
large size, omental fat tags, tenaie coli muscles, haustra saccules
large intestine, not small!
small outpocketing from colon, develop with age, may become inflamed
diverticuli
celiac trunk originates near
T12
inferior pancreaticoduodenal, middle colic, intestinal, ileocolic and right colic are branches of
superior mesenteric artery
supplies duodenum distal to bile duct, head of pancreas
inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery
supplies proximal 2/3 of transverse colon, runs in transverse mesocolon
middle colic artery
supply jejunum, ileum, “the” mesentery, end in straight terminal branches called vasa recta
intestinal arteries
supply distal ileum, appendix, cecum and proximal ascending colon
ileocolic artery
supplies ascending colon, is entirely retroperitoneal
right colic artery
branches include left colic, sigmoidal, superior rectal
inferior mesenteric
supplies descending colon, distal transverse colon
left colic artery
supplies sigmoid colon
sigmoidal branches
supplies superior part of the rectum
superior rectal artery
