Lab 30, Station 5: Blood Supply of GI Tract
Clinical correlation text. Lab 30 navigation The 3 unpaired anterior branches of the abdominal aorta supply the GI tract in the abdomen. The primitive GI tract can be divided into foregut, midgut, and hindgut regions. The boundaries of these regions are related to the areas of distribution of the 3 anterior branches. Figure 1. Celiac Trunk Complete anatomy Celiac […]
Lab 30, Station 4: Supracolic and Infracolic Organs
Clinical correlation text. Lab 30 navigation Organs of the Supracolic Region The transverse colon is used to divide the contents of the abdominal cavity into two areas: supracolic region (stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen) and infracolic region (small intestine and large intestine). The pancreas straddles the two regions, but since it is derived from the foregut we will […]
Lab 30, Station 3: Peritoneum, Peritoneal Cavity, and Mesenteries
Clinical correlation text. Lab 30 navigation Use your hands to explore the peritoneal cavity, spaces, omenta, mesenteries, and peritoneal ligaments. Identify: ■Parietal peritoneum (on the body wall) ■Visceral peritoneum (on the organs) ■The peritoneal cavity is the space between the parietal and visceral peritoneum. REALIZE that the peritoneal cavity is a “potential” space. In a […]
