Lecture 10: Abdominopelvic contents Flashcards
A

Abdominal part of esophagus
B

Fundus of stomach
C

Cardiac Part of Stomach
D

Spleen
E

Greater Curvature of Stomach
F? also what parts of this “functional tube” is this bend between?

Left colic (splenic) flexure
Sharp bend between transverse colon and descending colon
G

Greater Omentum
H (region)

Body of stomach
I (region)? what is the “section” immediately before this, following the body of the stomach?

Pyloric Canal
Pyloric Antrum
J

Right colic (hepatic) flexure
K (lobe)

Right Lobe of liver
L (lobe)

Quadrate lobe of liver
M

Round ligament of liver
N

Falciform Ligament of Liver
O

Hepatogastric Ligament
(part of lesser omentum)
P

Lesser Curvature of stomach
Q

Gallbladder
- Explain the change in epithelium as we move through structures: A to H.
- What is the formal name of this junction of abrupt change of mucosa?

- Stratified Squamous in the oesophagus (A) and then simple columnar (with mucous secreting cells) in the stomach
- Oesophago-gastric junction
What other organ does “G” attach?

Diaphragm (via gastrophrenic ligament) and Spleen (via gastrosplenic/lienal ligament)
“M” is the embryological remnant of what structure?

The umbilical vein
“N” is what remains of which mesogastria?

“N” (flaciform ligament) is remnant of the ventral mesogastrium
Name 3 tubular structures that run in the membrane labelled “O”

Im assuming hes refering to the entirety of the lesser omentum (within the two layers) rather than the hepatogastric ligament.
Therefore:
- hepatic artery (proper)
- Common bile duct
- gastric arteries and veins
- The portal vein
Region “E” has a dual blood supply, state the vessels that supply this region and include which each directly arises from

The greater stomach curvature blood supply:
- Left Gastroepiploic Artery which arises directly from the Splenic Artery
- Right Gastroepiploic Artery which arises directly from the Common Hepatic Artery
Region “P” has a dual blood supply, state which vessels supply this region and include which each directly arises from.

Leser Curvature of the Stomach Blood Supply:
- Left gastric artery which directly arises from the Coeliac trunk
- Right gastric artery which directly arised from the Common hepatic artery
