Question:

GI-tract self-study 2

Response:

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.

The cardia is the area between oesophagus and stomach. It lies in the epigastric region.
The pylorus connects stomach and duodenum and lies in the epigastric region.
The duodenaljejunal flexure connects duodenum and jejunum and lies in the right iliacumbilical region.
The ileal orifice connects ileum and colon and lies in the umbilicalright iliac region.

Question:

stomach vascularization

Response:

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".

Aorta - celiac trunk - DIRECT - left gastric artery
Aorta - celiac trunk - common hepatic artery - proper hepatic artery - right gastric artery
Aorta - celiac trunk - splenic artery - left gastro-omental artery
Aorta - celiac trunk - common hepatic artery - gastroduodenal artery - right gastro-omental artery.

Question:

Characteristic components of the large intestine

Response:

Fill in the words in the correct places.

The taeniae of the colon are the outer (= longitudinal) muscle layers of the colon lying along the colon, consisting of three long strips of muscle. They contract the colon, causing bulges of the colon, the so-called haustra. In between the bulges there are folds called semilunar folds. These folds are dynamic, they come and go with the contractions of the colon. Don't mistake them for the folds of the small intestine, the circular folds. These are permanent
