Applied Anatomy
A surgeon needs to enter the abdominal cavity without cutting organs. What structure must they carefully avoid piercing first
Parietal Peritoneum
The peritoneum lines this cavity?
The abdominal cavity
This large apron like fold of peritoneum hangs from the stomach
Greater momentum
Which type of organ would be more likely to be mobile within the abdominal cavity?
Intraperitoneal
This artery supplies the foregut?
Celiac trunk
During surgery an incision is made through the abdominal wall to access organs this procedure uses a natural space between layers of peritoneum what is this space?
Peritoneal cavity
The peritoneum that lines the abdominal wall is this in relation to the organs?
Superficial
This peritoneal fold connects the stomach to the liver
lesser momentum
During surgery an organ is firmly fixed and cannot be easily moved. What classification does this suggest?
Retroperitoneal
This artery supplies the midgut
Superior mesenteric artery
A patient has internal bleeding in the abdomen. Fluid is most likely to accumulate in this space
Peritoneal cavity
The peritoneum that covers organs is this in relation to the abdominal wall
deep
This structure is double layer of peritoneum that suspends organs and carries blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics
mesentery
What organs are intraperitoneal?
Stomach, Liver, tail of pancreas, and intenstines
This artery supplies the hindgut
inferior mesenteric artery
During imaging a mass is found behind peritoneum on multiple sides. This location would most likely indicate involvement of what type of organ?
A retroperitoneal organ
The stomach is this direction relative to the liver
inferior
This peritoneal fold connects the liver to the anterior abdominal wall and diaphragm
Falciform ligament
The following organs are what classification of peritoneal (kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, abdominal aorta, inferior vena cava)
Retroperitoneal
This venous canal system carries blood from the GI tract to the liver
hepatic portal system
A patient is lying supine and fluid is collecting just beneath the diaphragm in the peritoneal cavity. What anatomical space is this?
The diaphragmatic recess
The pancreas is this direction relative to the peritoneum
posterior
This structure forms a connection between the lesser curvature of the stomach and liver and is part of the lesser omentum?
Hepatogastric ligament
Name an organ that started as intraperitoneal and changed to retroperitoneal?
Duodenum, pancreas, ascending colon, descending colon
This vein is the main vessel that receives blood from the portal system and carries it back to the heart?
Inferior vena cava
