Last 2cm of superior duodenum

4
Q

What part of the superior duodenum is extraperitoneal

First 3cm

5
Q

How is the superior duodenum connected to the liver

By Hepatoduodenal ligament

6
Q

What structure does the descending duodenum surround

A

The pancreatic Head

7
Q

What major structure does the descending duodenum contain

The major duodenal papilla

8
Q

What does the inferior duodenum lie behind

A

The superior mesenteric artery and veins

9
Q

What happens at the junction between the ascending duodenum and the jejunum

A

We have suspensory muscles which relax to widen the flexure - aids movement of contents into the jejunum

10
Q

Are the jejunum and ileum intra or retroperitoneal

A

Intraperitoneal

Makes them motile

11
Q

What is the role of the ileocecal valve

A

Prveents reflux of material back into the ileum from the caecum

12
Q

Jejunum vs Ileum

A

Jejunum is dark red - Ileum is light pink
Jejunum is thicker - Ileum has thinner walls
Jejunum has longer vasa recta - Ileum has shorter vasa recta

13
Q

What artery supplies the descending duodenum

A

Gastroduodenal arteru

14
Q

What artery supplies the duodenum distal to the major duodenal papilla

A

The pancreaticoduodenal artery

15
Q

What is the pancreaticoduodenal artery a branch of

A

The superior mesenteric artery

16
Q

How can I differentiate the ileum from the Jejunum

A

Ileum has peyer’s patches

Jejunum has more plicae circularis

17
Q

Where is meckel’s Diverticulum found

A

An appendix like structure found on the ileum

18
Q

What is Meckel’s Diverticulum a remnant of

A

The vitelline duct

19
Q

What are arcades

A

Looping parts of the superior mesenteric artery that then form the vasa recta

20
Q

What is the difference in the arcades of the ileum and jejunum

A

The arcades are more numerous in the Ileum

21
Q

What does the superior mesenteric vein join to

A

Splenic vein and then onto the portal vein

22
Q

Are the ascending and descending colon intra or retroperitoneal

A

Retroperitoneal

23
Q

Are the transverse, sigmoid colon intra or retroperitoneal

A

Intraperitoneal

24
Q

What are the three layers of the muscularis propria of the intestines called and are these layers longitudinal or circular

A

Taenia Coli

They are longitudinal

25
Q

When do the three layers of the Taenia coli fuse together

A

At the rectao-sigmoid junction

26
Q

What are the inner circular muscle layers called

A

Haustrations

27
Q

What are the epiploic appendices

A

Small pouches of peritoneum filled with fat and found along the colon

28
Q

Is the epiploic appendix present in the rectum

A

No

29
Q

What is the significance of the epiploic appendix

A

They mark where blood vessels penetrate the surface of the bowels to supply the mucosa and submucosa

30
Q

Does the caecum has a mesentery

A

No

31
Q

Does the caecum have taenia coli

A

Yes

32
Q

What is the marginal artery of drummond

A

Where the middle colic artery of the superior mesenteric anastomoses with the left colic artery of the inferior mesenteric artery

33
