transumbilical plane **NOTE The bifurcation of the abdominal aorta into R & L common iliac arteries lies the same distance, 2 cm, below the transumbilical plane.
73
There is no single vein that corresponds to the celiac trunk. List the veins corresponding to the celiac trunk
the L & R gastric veins, the L & R gastroepiploic veins and the splenic vein are direct tributaries to the portal vein.
74
Blood drainage into veins system that is NOT the hepatic portal system (Everything but 1/3 of esophagus, GI tract and company) is referred to as what? Why?
Caval System because they drain directly into the IVC or SVC
75
When two different venous systems lie in close proximity to each other they tend to form anastomoses-- this is referred to sa
Portal- Caval Anastomoses
76
When do Portal Caval Anastomoses become of clinical significance?
Normally there is NO blood flow through these anastomoes in a healthy individual. However,with portal hypertension blood flows through these anastomoses and these veins becomes distended into varicose veins which, if rupture in certain areas such as the esophagus could be life threatening
77
What are the 3 major Portal Anastomoses discussed?
(1) esophageal varices, (2) internal hemorrhoids and (3) kaput medusa (around belly button)
