24
Q

Organs contained in the left iliac (inguinal) region

A

25
Q

Define the peritoneal cavity

A

A potential space between the parietal peritoneum and the visceral peritoneum

26
Q

Volume of fluid secreted by the peritoneum and its purpose

A
  • 50 mL fluid secreted per day
  • Acts as a lubricant and has anti-inflammatory properties
27
Q

Define intraperitoneal organs

A
  • Organs nearly totally covered by visceral peritoneum
  • Not actually inside the peritoneal cavity, but project into the peritoneal cavity
  • Are attached to the body wall and other organs by mesenteries and ligaments
28
Q

11 intraperitoneal organs

A
  1. Liver
  2. Stomach (ST)
  3. Spleen
  4. Duodenum (1st part)
  5. Small intestines (SI)
  6. Cecum
  7. Appendix
  8. Transverse colon (TC)
  9. Sigmoid colon
  10. Rectum (upper 1/3)
  11. Fallopian tubes/ovaries
29
Q

Define retriperitoneal organs in general

A

Organs that have peritoneum on only their anterior side

30
Q

Define primary retroperitoneal organs

A

Organs that were always posterior to the peritoneum throughout development

31
Q

Define secondary retroperitoneal organs

A

Organs that were once suspended within the abdominal cavity by mesentery, but migrated posterior to the peritoneum during the course of embryogenesis to become retroperitoneal

32
Q

6 primarily retroperitoneal organs

A
  • Adrenal glands
  • Kidneys
  • Ureter
  • Bladder
  • Aorta
  • Inferior vena cava
33
Q

3 organs (and their specific parts) that are secondarily retroperitoneal

A
  1. Head and neck of the pancreas (not the tail)
  2. Second and third portions of the duodenum (not the first or fourth)
  3. Ascending and descending portions of the colon (not transverse or sigmoid)
34
Q

Define mesentery

A

Double sheets of peritoneal membrane that suspend portions of the digestive tract within the peritoneal cavity. Serous membrane that connects the parietal peritoneum with the visceral peritoneum

35
Q

Define the lesser omentum and its function

A

Separate portion of peritoneum that stabilizes the position of the stomach and provides an access route for blood vessels and other structure entering or leaving the liver

36
Q

Define the greater omentum

A

Hangs like an apron from the lateral and inferior borders of the stomach

37
Q

Define the mesentery proper

A

A thick mesenterial sheet that provides stability to the small intestine, but permits some independent movement

38
Q

Define the transverse mesocolon

A

Mesentery that supports the transverse colon, extending from pancreas on the posterior wall to the transverse colon

39
Q

Define the sigmoid mesocolon

A

Mesentery that supports the sigmoid colon

40
Q

Describe the characteristics of the mesentery proper

A
  • Fan-shaped suspensory ligament of jejunum and ileum
  • Approx. 15 cm in length
  • Line of attachment is oblique - extends from the point of termination of the duodenum to the base of the cecum
41
Q

Define the paraduodenal fossa

A

Hole in the peritoneum through which the duodenum passes to become the jejunum and thus intraperitoneal

42
Q

Situate the paracolic gutters (recesses)

A

Right = superolateral aspect of the hepatic flexure to the lateral aspect of the ascending colon, and around the cecum

43
Q

Significance of the paracolic gutters

A

Bile, pus or blood released from viscera anywhere along its length may run along the gutter and collect in sites quite remote from the organ of origin

44
Q

Effect of supine position for patients with infected fluid from the right iliac fossa

A

Contents may ascend in the gutter to enter the lesser sac

45
Q

Effect of sitting position for patients with infected fluid from the stomach, duodenum or gallbladder

A

May run down the gutter to collect in the right iliac fossa or pelvis and may mimic acute appendicitis or form a pelvic abscess

46
Q

Define the gastrocolic ligament (GC)

A

A portion of greater omentum (GO) that stretches from the greater curvature of the stomach to the transverse colon. It forms part of the anterior wall of the lesser sac

47
Q

2 parts of the lesser omentum

A
  1. Hepatogastric ligament (HG)
  2. Hepatoduodenal ligament (HD)
48
Q

Function of the hepatogastric ligament

A

Connect the liver to the lesser curvature of the stomach

49
Q

Function of the hepatoduodenal ligament

A
  • Connect the liver (porta hepatis) to the duodenum
  • Contains the proper hepatic artery, hepatic portal vein, common bile duct (portal triad)
50
Q

Spatial relations of the epiploic (omental) foramen (of Winslow)

A
  • Anterior = hepatoduodenal ligament (contains portal triad)
  • Posterior = IVC
  • Superior = Caudate lobe of liver
  • Inferior = Duodenum
51
Q

Spatial relations of the lesser sac

A
  • Anterior
    • Lesser omentum
    • Stomach
    • Gastrocolic ligament
  • Posterior
    • Pancreas
    • Left kidney
    • Left adrenal gland
  • Right
    • Epiploic foramen
  • Left
    • Gastrosplenic ligament
    • Lienorenal ligament
52
Q

What does the lienorenal (splenorenal) ligament contain

A
  • Splenic vessels
  • Tail of the pancreas
53
Q

What does the gastrosplenic ligament contain

A
  • Short gastric vessels
  • Left gastroepiploic vessels
54
Q

Define the falciform ligament

A

Sickle-shaped ligament that attaches the liver to the anterior body wall. Broad and thin antero-posterior peritoneal fold

55
Q

Define the ligamentum teres

A

A remnant of the umbilical vein of the fetus

56
Q

3 ligaments of the liver

A
  1. Coronary ligament
  2. Triangular ligament
  3. Falciform ligament
57
Q

Define the urachus
