Question
Answer

Why is the distal end of the stomach significantly anchored?   Because of the heptoduodenal ligament  
🗑
At the esophagogastric junction there needs to be the ability to expand, how is this acheived?   You pack it with fat  
🗑
What can happen when the esophagogastric junction is compromised?   You can have a hiatus hernia. Stomach can go into thorax  
🗑
What is a sliding hiatus hernia?   Where the gastroesophageal junction moves above the diaphragm together with some of the stomach  
🗑
What is a paraesophageal hiatus hernia? Does it need to be corrected?   Part of the stomach herniates through the esophageal hiatus and lies beside the esophagus without movement of the gasroesophageal junction. Most times do not need to be corrected  
🗑
What is in the supracolic compartment? (above transverse colon)   The stomach, liver and spleen  
🗑
What is the ends of the transverse colon demarcated by?   The left colic (splenic flexture) and the right colic (hepatic flexture)  
🗑
What two components does the liver consist of from GI tract and septum transversum?   Epithelia (endothermal) coming from the GI tract and parenchymal cells from the cells of the septum transversum  
🗑
What is the heptagastric ligament and the heptaduodenal ligament?   Heptagastric ligament: Expanse of ventral mesentery from liver to stomach. Heptaduodenal: Expanse of ventral mesentery from liver to duodenum  
🗑
What is a ligament?   A thin sheet of peritoneum with two serous layers with some fat in between  
🗑
Where does the spleen develop?   It develops in the dorsal meesentery and there is a gastrosplenic ligament connecting the spleen and the greater curvature of the stomach which is an extension of dorsal mesentery  
🗑
What structures are in the hepatduodenal ligament?   The portal vein, the common bile duct and the hepatic artery proper  
🗑
What is between the inferior vena cava and the heptaduodenal ligament?   The foramen of Winslow  
🗑
What makes up the lesser omentum?   Two mesothelial sheets. It is attached from the lesser curvature of the stomach across the liver to the fissure for the ligamentum venosum  
🗑
Where does the superior recess of the lesser sac run?   All the way up to the backside of the liver and it stops where the bare area of the liver begins  
🗑
If you go behind the stomach where will you be stopped?   You will be stopped at the inferior recess of the omental bursa  
🗑
What makes up the greater omentum?   4 layers of peritoneum  
🗑
Where is the bloodvessels located in abdomen?   On the posterior abdominal wall retroperitoneal  
🗑
What branches does the celiac trunk break into?   Left gastric artery, splenic artery and common hepatic artery  
🗑
Where does the splenic artery run?   Into the stomach bed along the superior border of the pancreas and reaches spleen through the splenorenal ligament to reach hilum  
🗑
Where does the left gastric artery run?   Runs retroperitoneally and supplies left side of lesser curvature of stomach. Eventually becomes intraperitoneal. Branches go into esophagus at the same time  
🗑
Where does the common hepatic artery go?   Reaches the lesser omentum where it breaks up and gives off hepatic artery proper and gastroduodenal artery  
🗑
What does the gastroduodenal artery branch into?   The right gastroomental artery  
🗑
Where does the right gastric artery come off and run to?   It comes off the hepatic proper and runs to the lesser curvature of the stomach to anastomose with left gastric artery  
🗑
What does the right gastroomental artery anastomose with?   With the left gastroomental artery  
🗑
What does the splenic artery branch into?   Branches into the short gastric artery and left gastroomental artery(gastroepiploic artery)
