Q

What are the parts of the gut supplied by branches of the inferior mesenteric artery? (3)

Study These Flashcards
A

Left colic
Sigmoid
Superior rectal

22
Q

What is the marginal artery?

Study These Flashcards
A

An arterial arcade which runs parallel to the large and intestine and forms side to side anastomoses

23
Q

What does the marginal artery anastomose with?

Study These Flashcards
A

Branches of the SMA and IMA

24
Q

Where does the marginal artery extend from?

Study These Flashcards
A

The sigmoid branch of interior mesenteric artery to the ileocolic branch of the SMA

25
What does the marginal artery allow for?
Retrograde flow from the IMA to supply areas normally supplied by the SMA/coeliac trunk if they become blocked
26
Where does the IMV join the splenic vein
Behind the body of the pancreas
27
Where does the SMV join the splenic vein
Behind the head of the pancreas
28
What is the portal vein formed by
The confluence of splenic and SMV
29
What are the arteries that supply the rectum and anus (4)?
``` Superior rectal (Branch of IMA) Middle rectal (Branch of internal iliac) Inferior rectal (Branch of internal iliac) Middle sacral artery (from bifucation of aorta into common iliac) ```
30
What is the collective name for all the interconnecting venous plexuses either within the wall or outside muscle of the rectum?
Rectal venous plexuses
31
Where does the internal rectal plexus drain into?
IMV
32
Where does the external rectal plexus drain into (3)
upper IMV Middle internal iliac vein Lower internal pudendal (tributary of the IIV)
33
What causes haemorrhoids
Dilation of the veins of the internal plexus
34
What does the lymph drainage of the rectum follow?
The arteries to the pre-aortic and internal iliac nodes. | Exception: lower anal canal to superficial inguinal nodes
35
All the lymph drainage of the rectum goes to the pre-aortic and internal iliac nodes true or false?
False
36
The innervation of the rectum is completely autonomic true or false?
False, in the lower anal canal it is somatic
37
Where does the sympathetic innervation of the rectum originate from?
Lumbar sympathetic trunk
38
Where does the parasympathetic innervation of the rectum originate from?
Pelvic splanchnics (S2-4)
39
What can the rectum sense?
Stretch above the pectinate line | Pain and temperature below
40
What supplies the pancreas? (3)
Splenic (most) | Superior + inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries (head+uncinate process)
41
The splenic arteries anastomose with the superior and inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries, true or false?
True
42
What is venous drainage of the pancreas?
``` Mostly splenic vein Pancreaticoduodenal veins (head + uncinate process) ```
43
What is the lymph drainage of the pancreas like?
Pancreatic lymph nodes and vessels located along the splenic artery and its branches. Drain into the coeliac nodes
44
What is the nervous supply of the pancreas like?
Parasympathetic - vagal | Sympathetic - thoracic splanchnic
45
How does blood enter the liver?
Into the hilus via left and right branches of the hepatic artery and portal vein.
46
What else travels with the arteries into the hilum?
A plexus of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves derived from the coeliac plexus
47
What do both sets of vessels branch and branches travel together through?
Portal canals, portal areas or portal 'triads' along with: | bile duct and lymph vessels
48
Where do the sinusoids run in the liver?
From the outside of the lobules to central veins
49
How do the central veins of the liver eventually drain?
They anastomose to form larger veins (usually 3 larger upper and several smaller veins
50
How does lymph pass through the liver
1. Pores in the walls of sinusoids 2. Space of Disse (between sinusoids and hepatocytes) 3. Small lymph capillaries in portal areas 4. Hilum 5. Empty into the thoracic duct
