Q

What are the 2 sacs of the peritoneal cavity?

Q

What does partially peritonised mean?

A

The structure is not directly covered in peritoenum e.g. the kidneys which are rested on by other retroperitoneal organs

Q

Why do we call the greater omentum the abdominal policemen?

A

Its lower and left/right margins are free so it moves about in response to peristalsis.
In infection, inflammatory exudate causes the omentum to adhere to the site of infection and wrap around the infected organ

Q

Explain the innervation of the two peritoneal layers

A

PArietal - Lower 6 thoracic and L1 spinal nerves
Visceral - Autonomic nerves so pain is referred, dull and poorly localized, the pain is often referred to the midline due to the bilateral nerve supply.

Q

Attachment of psoas major and function

A

Immediately lateral to the lumbar vertebrae.

Attaches to transverse processes/vertebral bodies of T12-L5, runs down and joins with iliacus to form iliopsoas then attach to lesser trochanter of femur

Flexes the thigh & Lateral flexion of the lumbar spine

Q

Attachment of quadratus lumborum and function?

A

Thick muscular sheet quadrilateral in shape.
Superficial to the psoas major.

Originates from iliac crest and iliolumbar ligament. Travels superomedially, inserts onto transverse processes of L1-4 and inferior border of the 12th rib

Extension and lateral flexion of the vertebral column. It also fixes the 12th rib during inspiration, so that the contraction of diaphragm is not wasted.

Q

Attachment and function of the iliacus?

A

Fan shaped muscle inferior on posterior abdominal wall combines with psoas major to form the iliopsoas – the major flexor of the thigh.

Surface of iliac fossa and anterior inferior iliac spine. Its fibres combine with the tendon of the psoas major, inserting into the lesser trochanter of the femur.

Actions: Flexion of the thigh at the hip joint.

Q

Level of 3 major diaphragmatic opening?

A

T8 Caval opening
T10 Gastric Hiatus
T12 Aortic Hiatus

17
Q

Organs of posterior abdominal wall?

A

Kidneys
Ureters
Supradrenal glands

18
Q

At what level does the abdominal aorta divide?

A

L4 –> 2 Common Iliac Arteries

Whereas the veins form into the IVC at L5

19
Q

Main branches of abdominal aorta?

A

Celiac Trunk (T12)
Sup. Mesenteric art (L1)
Inf. Mesenteric art (L3)

20
Q

Where is the boundary of the fore/mid/hind gut?

A

Fore/midgut = Between the 2/3rd section of duodenum

Mid/hindgut = 2/3rd of the way along transverse colon

21
Q

What vessels arise from the celiac trunk?

A

The Gastric art.
Splenic Art.
Hepatic Art.

22
Q

Define a portal system?

A

A vein connects one capillary bed to another

23
Q

What 2 major veins form the hepatic portal vein?

A

Splenic and sup. mesenteric

but also the gastric and inf. mesenteric

24
Q

List the 4 porto-systemic anastomoses and their pathology

A

Gastroesophageal junction
Anorectal juncction
Umbilicus (paraumbilical veins)
Intrahepatic

During portal hypertension they become distended, known as varices. Which are painful and can bleed

25
Q

Sympathetic nerve supply to the abdominal viscera?

A

Abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves (T7-L2)

  • Thoracic Splanchnic Nerves (T7-T12)
  • Lumbar Splanchnic Nerves (L1-L2)

Prevertebral sympathetic ganglia

Abdominal Aortic Plexuses

26
Q

Parasympathetic nerve supply to abdominal viscera?

A

Anterior & Posterior vagal trunks (i.e. vagus nerve)

Pelvic splanchnic nerves (S2-4)

27
Q

What is the effect of a vagotomy on gastric secretion?

A

Decreases it

28
Q

Functional difference between thoracic and pelvic splanchnic nerves?

A

Greater, lesser, least splanchnic nerves are sympathetic

Pelvic splanchnic nerves are parasympathetic

29
Q

Arrangement of ganglia in the symp. vs parasymp. systems?

A 
Sympathetic = Paravertebral ganglia
Parasympathetic = Prevertebral ganglia (lie in or near the organs they supply)
30
Q

At what vertebral level do the kidneys lie?

A

On posterior abdominal wall at T12-L3 vertebrae

31
Q

Why does the right kidney lie slightly lower?

A

Liver

32
Q

arrangement of vessels at kidney hilum?

A

Anterior to posterior
Vein - Artery - Pelvis of Ureter (VAP)
The artery is also superior.

33
Q

Location and type of gland is suprarenal?

A

Superior to the kidneys

Endocrine

34
Q

What is the pelvis of the ureter?

A

The expanded section where it enters the kidney.

The ureters are muscular ducts carrying urine from kidney to bladder

35
Q

Where are the 3 constrictions of the ureter?

A

Pelviureteric junction (between ureter and renal pelvis)

As it enters pelvis and crosses the common iliac artery bifurcation

Vesicouretic junction (ureter enters the bladder wall)

36
Q

How are the ureters peritonised?

A

Retroperitoneal

37
Q

What organs fall into each of the 9 abdominal sections?

A

R. Hypochondriac = Liver
Epigastrium = Stomach - Pancreas
L. Hypochondriac = Stomach - Spleen
R. Lumbar = Small intestine - Asc. Colon
Umbilicus = Small Intestine - Transverse Colon - Gall Bladder
L. Lumbar = Small Intestine - Desc. Colon
R. Iliac Fossa = Asc. Colon - Caecum
Hypogastrium = Sigmoid colon - Small intestine
L. Iliac Fossa = Sigmoid Colon - Desc. Colon
