What is the blood supply to the spleen | Short gastric blood vessels in the gastrosplenic legament |
What are the impressionsions and surface of the spleen | Gastric Impression, Bolic Impression, Renal Impression, Diaphragmatic Surface |
The pancreas receives blood from what two sources | Celiac trunk and Superior Mesenteric artery |
The union of the Superior Mesenteric Vein with the Splenic vein (the inferior mesenteric vein usually drains into the splenic vein)forms what | Hepatic Portal vein |
The liver is drain by what | Hepatic veins |
What do hepatic veins empty into | Inferior vena cava |
What does the free edge of the Hepatoduodenal Ligament contain | Portal Vein, Proper Hepatic artery and Bile duct |
When hepatocytes are destroyed and replaced by scar tissue, increased pressure in portal circulation results in | Portal Hypertension |
As less albumin is produced by the liver, water will accumulate in the legs known as ... and abdomen known as .... | Edema, Ascites |
A buildup of bilirubin | Jaundice |
The left gastric vein anastomoses with the | Sumbucosal Esophageal veins |
If portal hypertension is present and the submucosal esophageal veins are distended this is called | Esophageal varices |

If portal hypertension is present and the Superficial abdominal veins are distended this is called | Caput Medusa |
Portal hypertension can be treated by diverting blood fromt eh portal to the | Caval system |
How is blood shunted from the portal to the caval system | Splenorenal shunt, Side-to-side portacaval shunt, Mesocaval shunt, Tranjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt |
This shunt is from the splenic veins to the Left renal vein | Splenorenal shunt |
This shunt is from the inferior end of the portal vein to the inferior vena cava | Side-to-side shunt |
This shunt is a prosthetic vascular graft between the Superior mesenteric vein to the inferior vena cava | Mesocaval shunt |
This shunt involves a catheter being placed in the right internal jugular vein. An intrahepatic shunt is created between a hepatic vein and a branch of the portal vein, creating a channel between the portal and hepatic veins | Tranjuculat Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt |
