Liver Flashcards
(208 cards)
what is the diaphragmatic surface
anterolateral = contains bare area
what is the visceral surface
posteroinferior = covered with peritoneum, except gallbladder/porta hepatis
what is the bare area of the liver
large triangular area on diaphragmatic surface = no peritoneum
what is the falciform ligament
double fold of peritoneum = forms a natural anatomical division of right/left lobe of liver and attaches liver to diaphragm
what is the ligamentum teres
free edge of falciform ligament = remnant of umbilical vein
what are the coronary ligaments
attach the superior surface of liver to posterior diaphragm = anterior/posterior
what are the triangular ligaments
left = union of anterior/posterior layers of coronary ligament at apex of liver = left lobe to diaphragm right = attaches right lobe to diaphragm
what is the functional division of the liver
line down gall bladder/ivc
what is the porta hepatis
point of entry into liver for hepatic arteries and portal vein/exit for hepatic ducts
where is calot’s triangle
at porta hepatis
what are the contents of calot’s triangle
right hepatic artery
cystic artery
lymph node of Lund
lymphatics
what is the liver’s fibroud layer known as
glisson’s capsule
what supplies blood to the liver
25% hepatic artery proper from coeliac trunk to non-parenchymal structures
75% hepatic portal vein
wha tdoes the hepatic portal vein supply the liver with
partially deoxy blood + nutrients from small intestine to liver parenchyma = allows detoxification
what does the portal triad contain
proper hepatic arterioles
hepatic portal venules
bile ducts
what are the structural units of the liver
lobules
what are the functional units of the liver
acini
what are acini
divided into zones according to distance form arteriole blood supply = hepatocytes closest better oxygenated
what is the nerve supply to the liver
parenchyma = hepatic plexus = sympathetic (coeliac plexus) and parasympathetic (vagus)
what is the nerve supply to glisson’s capsule
lower intercostal nerves
with what organs does the pancreas have anatomical relations
stomach duodenum transverse mesocolon common bile duct spleen
what vessels is the pancreas associated with
aorta/IVC posteriorly
superior mesenteric artery behind neck
hepatic portal vein behind neck
splenic artery travels superior border
describe the duct system of the pancreas
acini connected by intercalated ducts = unite into lobules = drain into intralobular collecting ducts = become main pancreatic duct
what forms the hepatopancreatic ampulla of vater
pancreatic duct unites with common bile duct
