(113 cards)
what parts of the pancreas are retroperitoneal?
everything except tail
describe the exocrine functions of the pancreas (cell, secretions)
acinar cells (go to pancreatic duct)
- neutralizing alkaline components
- trypsin (protein), amylase (starch)
describe the endocrine functions of the pancreas (cell, secretions)
islets of langerhans (go to blood)
- secrete insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, pancreatic peptide hormone, ghrelin
what cells make insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin?
beta cells = insulin
alpha cells = glucagon
delta cells = somatostatin
what stimulates secretion of the pancreas?
distention of stomach
acid in the duodenum
what is the INN of the pancreas? what is the result of each? referred pain?
vagus -> secretion
symp T7-9 -> dilate blood vessels (via celiac plexsus)
- referred to inf. epigastric (inflammation pushes against duodenum)
blood supply of pancreas
branches off of the splenic artery
what are the three parts of the sphincter of oddi?
sphincter ductus choledoci (bile duct)
sphincter ductus pancreatici (pancreatic duct)
around entire ampulla

sup. of pylorus
hili of kidneys
neck of pancreas
SMA
start of portal vein
fundus of GB
what is the psoas sign? what organs are apart of this?
when contracted (flex/extend thigh) it will bulge and if an organ is inflamed it will cause pain
- kidneys, ureters, retrocecal appendix
where does lymph from organs on the lateral and retroperitoneal side go to?
para-aortic nodes
where does lymph from the midline gut go to?
pre-aortic nodes (along vessels)
where does lymph from organs belwo the diaphragm go to?
posterior abdominal nodes
where does all lymph drain to? describe it’s location
cisterna chyli
- right of aorta
- below renal artery
- L1-2
what organs drain their lymph to the lateral aortic nodes?
lateral body wall
kidney
suprarenals
testis
ovary
what nodes do the lower limbs and perineum drain their lymph to? (describe the pathway)
external iliac nodes
common iliac nodes
pre-aortic & lateral aortic nodes
what do lymph nodes do?
makes lymphocytes be exposed to antigens in the lymph system (fluid)
- blood and lymph flow through separate compartments
- uses high endothelial venules
what type of cells produce antigens?
B cells and T cells
what does MALT do for lymphocytes?
expose them to antigens from outside world
- antigens from respiratory or intestinal systems
what does the spleen do for lymphocytes?
expose them to antigens in the blood
at what rib is the spleen located? intra or retro peritoneal?
9th-10th rib
- intraperitoneal
what two ligaments hold the spleen?
splenorenal lig
gastrosplenic lig
what is the INN of the spleen? referred pain?
vagus
symp T7-9 (via celiac plexsus)
