Question
Answer
What are the ventral mesentery derivatives?   Coronary ligament of liver and its derivatives (i.e. falciform ligament), and the right and left triangular ligaments, the lesser omentum  
🗑
What are the dorsal mesentery deriviatives?   greater omentum (including the lieno-renal and lieno-gastric ligaments), the mesentery of the small intestine, the mesoappendinx, the transverse colon, the sigmoid colon  
🗑
What do the dorsal/ventral mesentery names arise from?   During embryonic development, it indicates the position relative to the gut tube of the mesentery  
🗑
What are the four parts of the primitive gut (rostral to caudal)?   Pharyngeal, foregut, midgut, hindgut  
🗑
What is the foregut?   Portion of the primitive gut that is supplied by the celiac trunk of the aorta  
🗑
What are the foregut structures?   esphagus, stomach (Gaster), 1st and 2nd parts of the duodenum, pancreas, liver (Hepar), gall bladder (would also include the spleen, since also supplied by celiac)  
🗑
What branch of the aorta supplies the midgut derivatives?   The superior mesenteric artery  
🗑
What are the midgut derivatives?   3rd and 4th part of the duodenum, jejunum, ilium, cecum and vermiform appendix, ascending colon, proximal 2/3 of transverse colon  
🗑
What branch of the aorta supplies the embryonic hindgut?   Inferior mesenteric artery  
🗑
What are the structures of the hindgut?   distal 1/3 of transverse colon, descending and sigmoid colon, rectum, and proximal portion of anal canal  
🗑
Describe the rotations of the embryonic gut   Longitudunal and counterclockwise rotation of the embryonic foregut and midgut: 90 degrees longitudunal rotation of the embryonic foregut towards right side; 270 counterclockwise rotation of the embryonic midgut. Caused by differential growth rates  
🗑
Describe the difference between the two layers of the peritoneum: parietal and the visceral layer.   Parietal: contacts the body wall; visceral: contacts the organs and viscera; the space between them is the peritoneal cavity  
🗑
What are the two main types of visceral peritoneum? Describe them   Mesentery: two layers of visceral peritoneum that connect an organ to the body wall. Visceral ligaments (aka omenta): two layers of visceral peritoneum that connect two organs  
🗑
List the four mesenteries and what structures they connect   mesentery: from loops of intestine to body wall; mesoappendinx: from appendix to body wall; transverse colon: from transverse colon to body wall; sigmoid mesocolon: from sigmoid colon to body wall  
🗑
List the visceral ligaments   Greater omentum, lesser omentum, falciform ligament, coronary ligament, gastrosplenic ligament, lienorenal ligament  
🗑
What does the greater omentum connect?   The stomach and the intestine (hence the other name, gastrocolic ligament)  
🗑
What does the lesser omentum connect?   The liver and the stomach / part of the duodenum (hence the other name, the hepatogastric and the hepatoduodenal ligament)  
🗑
What does the falciform ligament connect?   Connects the liver to the posterior abdominal wall; continues superiorly to connect liver to the inferior edge of the diaphragm  
🗑
Where is the coronary ligament? Where is it? What are the right and left triangular ligaments?   It is located superior to the liver; the areas posteriorly where it pinches off to join the parietal peritoneum forms triangulations (right and left triangular ligament)  
🗑
Where is the gastrosplenic ligament? What is it?   Connects the stomach and the spleen  
🗑
What is the linorenal ligament (aka splenoreal)? What other organ is it close to?   Connects the spleen to the left kidney; the tail of the pancreas pushes slightly into it.  
🗑
What is the lesser sac or omental bursa? Where is it?   Communicate with each other via the epiploic foramen (Foramen of Winslow); it is anterior to the lesser omentum (pocket formed by space between stomach and liver)  
🗑
Where is the greater sac / omental bursa?   It is located anteriorly in the abdominal cavity ("in front" of intestines)?  
🗑
How do the greater and the lesser sacs communicate with each other?   Via the epiploic foramen (aka foramen of winslow)  
🗑
How is the lesser sac formed?   By the right side rotation of the live and stomach  
🗑
What are the intraperitoneal structures?   structures suspended in the peritoneal cavity by mesentery: stomach, spleen, pancreas (tail), liver, gallblad., duodenum (1st part), small intestines from duodenal-jejunal flexure to ileocecal junction, cecum and appendix, transverse colon, sigmoid colon  
🗑
What are the retroperitoneal structures?   Structures that are outside of the peritoneal cavity: kidneys, aorta and IVC, anal canal, urinary bladder  
🗑
What are the secondary retroperitoneal structures   Areas that began as intraperitoneal structures but lost their coverings: duodenum (2nd, 3rd, and 4th parts), pancreas (head and body), liver (bare area), ascending colon, descending colon, rectum  
🗑
