clinical anatomy of jaundice Flashcards
(26 cards)
what is jaundice
Yellowing of the sclera (white of eyes) and skin
Caused by an increase in the blood levels of bilirubin
what organs are linked together by the formation of bilirubin
liver, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas and small intestines
what with bilirubin
normal by product of break down of red blood cells
mainly occurs in spleen
used to form bile in the liver
what is bile important for
normal absorption of fats in small intestine
some functions of the liver
glycogen storage
bile secretion
other metabolic function
surface anatomy of liver
located in mainly RUQ
protected by ribs 7-11
location hanged in breathing
what is the subphrenic recess
tuck hand up and above liver
how will you find the hepatorenal recess
tuck and below liver, hand between liver and kidney
4 anatomical lobes of liver
right lobe, left lobe, caudate lobe, quadrate love
what is the porta hepatis
site of portal triad structures
what is the falciform ligament
round ligament of the liver
remnant of the umbilical vein
what does each of the 8 functional segments of the liver have
branch of hepatic arterty
branch of hepatic portal vein
bile drainage - to bile duct
venous drainage
two parts of the lesser omentum
Hepatoduodenal lig. and Hepatogastric lig.
what is the coeliac trunk
first of three midline branches of the aorta
retroperitoneal
leaves aorta at T12 vertabral level
what does the coeliac trunk supply and what are the branches of it
organs of the forgut
Splenic artery
Left gastric artery
Common Hepatic artery
what ribs protect the spleen
9-11
what is anastomosis
collection of blood vessel
blood supply to the liver
right and left hepatic artery
branches of the hepatic artery proper
hepatic portal vein
liver as DUAL blood supply
what is the function of the HPV
drains blood from forgut, midgut and hindgut to the liver for first pass metabolism (cleaning)
hepatic portal vein is formed by
splenic nerve
superior mesenteric vein
infertor mesenteric vein
inferior vena cava
where does the gallbladder lie
posterior aspect of the liver
anterior to the duodenum
function of the gall bladder
stores and contrates bile in between meals
bile flows in and out of the gallbladder via the…
cystic duct
blood supply of the gallladder
via cystic artery
branch of right hepatic artery - located in the cyctohepatic trangle (of calot)
