Q

What are the arteries supplying the stomach?

A

Left gastric artery (celiac trunk) and right gastric artery (hepatic artery proper from celiac trunk) for the vascular arch of the lesser curvature. Right gastric artery lies in the hepatogastric ligament.

The vascular artery at the greater curvature is formed by the gastric-omental arteries. Left gastric-omental artery (from splenic artery) anastomoses with the right gastric-omental artery (from gastroduodenal artery)

Fundus of stanch recieves branches from the small gastric arteries (from splenic artery)

45
What are the fat “droplets” on the large intestines called?
Epiploic appendices (subserosal fatty tags)

What are the “bulges” on the large intestines called?
Haustra
47
What parts of the large intestine is intraperitoneally?

48
By what is the transverse colon attached to the stomach?
Gastrocolic ligament

If you draw a line from the anterior superior iliac spine to the umbilicus, the base of the appendix will be 1/3 of the way to the umbilicus.
53
Does the appendix lie intraperitoneally?
Yes, and it has its own mesoappendix
54
What arteries supply the cecum?
Ileocolic artery from the superior mesenteric artery. The ileocolic artery branches into the following arteries: - appendicular artery - anterior cecal artery - posterior cecal artery - ileal branches
55
Venous drainage of the cecum?
Ileocolic vein -> superior mesenteric vein -> hepatic portal vein
56

In the saggital plane, how many flexures does the rectum have?
Two: - sacral flexure - anorectal flexure/perineal flexure
65
The peritoneum of the rectum reflects on different structures in male and female, and create different pouches. What are those?
Male: the peritoneum reflects on the urinary bladder - rectovesical pouch Female: the peritoneum reflects on the uterus - rectouterine pouch
66
What is the peritoneal relationship of the rectum?
The upper portion of the rectum is retroperitoneal and the distal portion has no peritoneal covering.
67
What are the components of the sphincter apparatus?
Internal anal sphincter (smooth muscle) and external anal sphincter (striated muscle). The external anal sphincter blends within the fibers of the levator ani muscle.

Anorectal junction on top of the anal columns
71
Where does the pectinate line lie?
Under the anal columns

Superior rectal artery
73
Which arteries supply the rectum?
Superior rectal artery - inferior mesenteric Middle rectal artery - internal iliac Inferior rectal artery - internal pudendal
74
Which veins drain the rectum?
The veins draining the rectum anastomose to from the rectal venous plexus that surrounds it. Venous drainage corresponds to arterial supply: Superior rectal vein -> inferior mesenteric vein -> hepatic portal vein Middle and inferior rectal vein -> internal iliac -> inferior vena cava
75
What is the nerve innervation of the rectum?
Autonomic: sacral portion of the parasympathetic nervous system and the lumbar sympathetic trunk. Nerve fibers pass to the intestine via the inferior hypogastric plexus. Sensory innervation of the anal skin is by the inferior rectal nerves, which are branches of the pudendal nerve.
76
Name the folds of the rectum
Superior transverse fold, middle transverse fold (Kohlrausch) fold and inferior transverse fold
77
From where to where is the rectal ampulla?
From the middle rectal fold (Kohlrauch) to the anorectal junction
78
From where to where is the anal canal?
The anal canal is located from under the rectoanal junction to distal perineal flexure.
79
What produces the anal columns and sinuses?
Hemorrhoidal plexus in the submucosa
80
What is the epithelium of the perinatal skin?
Stratified squamous epithelium with heavy pigmentation, apocrine sweat glands and hair follicles
81
What is the epithelium of the anoderm (white zone)?
Stratified, non-keratinized squamous epithelium, which is intimately attached to the underlying internal anal sphincter - hence its whiteish appearance
82
What is the epithelium at the anal columns?
Transitional zone: it is a mosaic pattern of colorectal mucosa, unilayered columnar epithelium and stratified squamous epithelium
