Better preparation next time is strongly advised. Repeat this learning path until you are able to answer the self-test questions.
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 posteriordorsal to the trachea.
The oesophagus has to pass the diaphramdiaphragm to enter the abdomen and connect to the stomach.
Main function of the oesophagus: delivertransport of food from the mouth to the stomach.
Which structures are in contact with the oesophagus (check ALL correct answers).
How is it possible that food can be swallowed when a person is upside down?
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 large intestine consists of different parts. Which parts?
What is the name of the sphincter (circular muscle) that opens and closes the distal end of the stomach?
What is the sigmoid colon named after?
In which order does food passt the parts of the gastrointestinal tract (cranial to caudal) given below?
Fill in the correct names of the indicated stomach parts.
The sphincter in the pylorus allows chyme to pass from the stomach to the duodenum and prevents its backflow from the duodenum to the stomach.
The main part of the stomach is the body / corpus.
In an upright position, air will collect in the fundus of the stomach.
The oesophagus enters the stomach in the cardia of the stomach
Rehearse parts of the stomach
Place the components of the stomach in the right spot
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".
Which artery provides the dark red shaded area of the stomach in the photo? The image is seen from the front.
Which structures are connected directly with the duodenum?
The small intestine consists of three different parts. Which parts?
Functions of the small intestine
The photo shows the inside of the jejunum. What are the folds called?
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.
