Question 9

the foregut will eventually form what structures

Answer 9

primordial pharynx, esophagus, stomach
duodenum (near opening of bile duct)
liver, biliary apparatus and pancreas

Question 10

during development, the foregut will rotate, its ventral mesogastrium will move ____ and its dorsal mesogastrium will move ____

Answer 10

ventral - right (VR)

dorsal - left (DL)

Question 11

ventral mesogastrium will eventually give rise to

intraperitoneal organs

Question 13

organs between the parietal peritoneum and posterior abdominal wall

Answer 13

retroparietoneal 
S – suprarenal gland (or adrenal gland) 
A – aorta/IFC 
D- Duodenum (2nd and 3rd portions only) 
P – pancreas 
U – ureter 
C – ascending/descending colon 
K – kidney 
E – esophagus 
R – rectum

Answer 14

secondarily retroperitoneal

Question 15

hangs like an apron from greater curvature of stomach and the proximal duodenum

Answer 15

greater omentum

Question 16

four layered peritoneal fold

Answer 16

greater omentum

Question 17

two layered peritoneal fold

Answer 17

lesser omentum

Question 18

connects lesser curvature of stomach/proximal duodenum to the liver

Answer 18

lesser omentum

Question 19

Answer 19

lesser omentum

Question 20

ligaments of the liver

Answer 20

falciform ligament (anterior abdominal wall) 
hepatogastric ligament (stomach) 
hepatoduodenal ligament (duodenum)

Question 21

the hepatoduodenal ligament conducts what structures

Answer 21

portal triad:

portal vein, hepatic artery, bile duct

Question 22

peritoneal ligaments of the stomach

Answer 22

gastrophrenic ligament (inferior diaphragm) 
gastrosplenic ligament (spleen) 
gastrocolic ligament (transverse colon)

Question 23

together, the gastrophrenic, gastrosplenic, and gastrocolic ligaments all make up

Answer 23

the greater omentum, all have attachment along the greater curvature of the stomach

Question 24

peritoneal folds arise due to

Answer 24

raised from body wall due to vasculature, ducts, ligaments, ect

compartment containing the stomach, liver, and spleen

Answer 26

supracolic

infracolic

Question 28

grooves between lateral aspects of ascending and descending colon and posterior abdominal wall

Answer 28

paracolic gutters (R and L)

Question 29

which paracolic gutter is smaller?

Answer 29

L - due to anchoring by phrenicocolic ligament

Question 30

Answer 30

anteriorly - hepatoduodenal ligament posteriorly - IVC and right crus of diaphragm superiorly - liver inferiorly - proximal duodenum
