Abdominal vasculature
This can be seen as the anterior border of the head of the pancreas
GDA
This vessel is not usually seen due to its inferior origin on the aorta and overlying bowel gas
IMA
This vessel leaves the renal hilum, travels anterior to the aorta and posterior to the SMA to enter the lateral wall of the IVC
Left renal vein
A replaced hepatic artery arises from the
SMA
All of the following vessels originate off of the celiac axis except: hepatic artery SMA left gastric artery splenic artery
SMA
Arises off the aorta and inferior to the celiac axis to supply the proximal half of the colon and small intestines
SMA
How do gonadal veins differ in drainage from one side to the other?
The left gonadal vein drains into the left renal vein, whereas the right gonadal vein drains into the IVC directly
What vessels make up the portal system and how do they divide when they get into the liver?
The portal system is made up of the portal veins, splenic vein, and SMV/IMV. The smv joins the sv to form the main portal vein. MPV enters into the liver and divides into right and left, which further divide into medial/lateral & anterior/posterior.
T/F: Once the GDA comes off the common hepatic artery the, common hepatic artery is termed the proper hepatic artery
True
The celiac axis comes off the aorta in what direction
anteriorly
The first branch off the aorta that we can see on ultrasound
celiac axis
The external iliac artery courses inferior into the legs and is termed the _______ artery
common femoral
T/F: The renal veins are posterior to the renal arteries
false
T/F: the SMA is seen anterior to the aorta and splenic vein
false
T/F: the renal vessels come off of the aorta superior to the SMA
false
What vessel brings oxygenated blood to the liver
hepatic artery
All of the following vessels are tributaries to the IVC and enter laterally into the IVC except for phrenic veins renal veins adrenal veins hepatic veins
hepatic veins
Three large veins that empty into the IVC
hepatic veins
The abdominal aorta courses
inferior to the left
The renal arteries come off the aorta in which direction
laterally
Arises from the posteriolateral wall of the aorta directly into the hilus of the kidney
left renal artery
This vessel is seen posterior to the SMA and anterior to the aorta
left renal vein
The portal venous system does not drain blood from the
liver
The hepatic artery enters the porta hepatis along with the
main portal vein
The organ seen anterior to the splenic vein is the
pancreas
The first branch off the abdominal aorta is the
phrenic arteries
The SMV and SV merge together to form the
portal vein
Which of the following is not a tributary to the IVC portal veins renal veins gonadal veins hepatic veins
portal veins
WHich chamber of the heart does the IVC enter into
right atrium
This vessel can be seen travelling posterior to the IVC
right renal artery
This vessel brings oxygenated blood to the spleen
splenic artery
This vessel takes a tortuous course horizontally to the left as it forms the superior border of the pancreas
splenic artery
Which of the following is not true about regarding the renal arteries a- the renal arteries originate from the lateral wall of the abdominal aorta b- the renal arteries are anterior to the renal veins c- the right renal artery courses posterior to the inferior vena cava d- left renal artery courses posterior to the sma
the renal arteries are anterior to the renal veins
T/F: The right renal artery is longer than the left renal artery
true
T/F: the left renal vein is longer than the right renal vein
true
