better preparation next time is strongly advised.
Question:
Response:
Describe the position of the oesophagus (using anatomical topographical terms such as cranial, caudal, ventral, dorsal, anterior or posterior) relative to the vertebral column and the trachea.
Fill in which muscular structure the oesophagus passes before it reaches the stomach (it is important in breathing)? Fill in the main function of the oesophagus? Both answers are one-word answers.
The oesophagus lies anterior to the vertebral column.
The oesophagus lies dorsal to the trachea.
The oesophagus has to pass the diaphragm to enter the abdomen and connect to the stomach.
Main function of the oesophagus: transport of food from the mouth to the stomach.
Use an atlas or the Internet to find the following 4 structures: cardia, pylorus, duodenojejunal flexure, ileal orifice. They are all transitions between parts of the digestive tract. Which organs do they connect with each other, and in which region can they be found (roughly, use the regions from Figures 1B and 2A). Name the organs in the order from proximal (mouth) to distal (anus). Also locate the position o your own body. An orifice is an opening or a mouth. The term comes from Latin: os = mouth and facere (make): to make a mouth.
At which stomach curve are the lesser omentum and the greater omentum situated?
Where is the lesser curvature of the stomach
Blood is delivered to the stomach by the left and right gastric arteries (lesser curvature) and by the left and right gastro-omental arteries (greater curvature; in some books, or articles you will also find the terms left and right gastroepiploic arteries). These arteries are either primary or secondary branches of the celiac trunk (truncus coeliacus). Describe the correct route of the arterial blood from the aorta to the gastric and gastro-omental/gastroepiploic arteries by dragging the correct terms into the spaces. The word DIRECT indicates that there is no extra vessel between celiac trunk and the final vessel.
Please be aware, that you may sometimes have to move the dragged word slightly left on the field that you want to drag it to to make it "stick".
The small intestine consists of three different parts. Which parts?
Functions of the small intestine
The photo shows an image of an endoscopy. The scope is located in the terminal ileum. What are the white 'rice grain-like' structures that can be seen on the gut wall?
Fill in the words in the correct places.
Drag the names of arteries branching from the abdominal aorta to the correct position.
