Lesson 7. Digestive system and peritoneum

Peritoneum, abdominal vessel

and spleen

= a thin serous membrane that line walls of abdominal and pelvic cavities and cover organs within these cavities •Parietal peritoneum －lines walls of abdominal and pelvic cavities •Visceral peritoneum －covers organs •Peritoneal cavity － potential space between parietal and visceral layer of peritoneum, in male, is a closed sac, but in female, there is a communication with exterior through uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina

PERITONEUM: General features

Function

• Secretes a lubricating serous fluid that continuously moistens associated organs

• Absorb • Support viscera

Peritoneum Histology

The peritoneum is a serosal membrane that consists of a single layer of mesothelial cells and is supported by a basement membrane.

The layer is attached to the body wall and viscera by a glycosaminoglycan matrix that contains collagen fibers, vessels, nerves, macrophages, and fat cells.

relationship between viscera and peritoneum

• Intraperitoneal viscera －viscera completely surrounded by peritoneum, example, stomach, superior part of duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, vermiform appendix, transverse and sigmoid colons, spleen and ovary

• Interperitoneal viscera －most part of viscera surrounded by peritoneum, example, liver, gallbladder, ascending and descending colon, upper part of rectum, urinary bladder and uterus

• Retroperitoneal viscera －some organs lie on the posterior abdominal wall and are covered by peritoneum on their anterior surfaces only, example, kidney, suprarenal gland, pancreas, descending and horizontal parts of duodenum, middle and lower parts of rectum, and ureter

Retroperitoneal viscera

Interperitoneal viscera

Structures which are formed by peritoneum

Omentum = 2-layered fold of peritoneum that extends from stomach to adjacent organs


Lessor omentum

2-layered fold of peritoneum which extends from porta hepatis to lesser curvature of stomach and superior part of duodenum

• Hepatogastric ligament －extends from porta hepatis to lesser curvature of stomach

• Hepatoduodenal ligament Extends from porta hepatis to superior part of duodenum

• Superior－caudate lobe of liver

• Inferior－superior part of duodenum

• Anterior－hepatodudenal ligament

• Posterior－peritoneum covering the inferior vena cava

Omental foramen

Greater omentum －four-layered fold of

peritoneum, the anterior two layers descend from the greater curvature of stomach and superior part of duodenum and hangs down like an apron in front of coils of small intestine, and then turns upward and attaches to the transverse colon. If an infection occurs in the intestine, plasma cells formed in the lymph nodes combat the infection and help prevent it from spreading to the peritoneum.


Lessor omentum

Greater omentum


Omental bursa Position－situated behind the lesser omentum

and stomach Walls • Superior－peritoneum which covers the

caudate lobe of liver and diaphragm • Anterior－formed by lesser omentum,

peritoneum of posterior wall of stomach, and anterior two layers of greater omentum

• Inferior－conjunctive area of anterior and posterior two layers of greater omentum

• Posterior－formed by posterior two layers of greater omentum, transverse colon and transverse mesocolon, peritoneum covering pancreas, left kidney and suprarenal gland


• Left－formed by the spleen, gastrosplenic ligament and splenorenal ligament

• Right－formed by omental foramen

The Omental bursa (lesser sac) communicates with the greater sac through the omental foramen.


Mesenteries or mesocolons－two-layered fold of peritoneum that attach part of the intestines to the posterior abdominal wall


Mesentery －suspends small intestine

from posterior abdominal wall

• Broad and a fan-shaped

• Consists of two peritoneal layers

• Intestinal border－folded, 7 m long

• Radix of mesentery – 15 cm long

– Directed obliquely from left side of L2 to in front of right sacroiliac joint


Mesoappendix • Triangular mesentery－extends from terminal part of ileum to appendix

• Appendicular artery runs in free margin of the mesoappendix


Transverse mesocolon －a double fold of peritoneum which connects the transverse colon to the posterior abdominal wall

Sigmoid mesocolon －inverted V-shaped, with apex located in front of left ureter and division of common iliac artery


Ligaments －two-layered folds of

peritoneum that attached the lesser mobile solid viscera to the abdominal wall

Ligaments of liver

• Falciform ligament of liver – Consists of double peritoneal

layer – Extends from anterior

abdominal wall (umbilicus) to live

– Free border of ligament site of ligamentum teres


• Coronary ligament －the area between upper and lower parts of the coronary ligament is the bare area of live, this area is devoid of peritoneum and lies in contract with the diaphragm

• Left and right triangular ligaments

－formed by right extremity of coronary ligament and left leaf of falciform ligament, respectively


• Hepatogastric ligament

• Hepatoduodenal ligament

• Ligamentum teres hepatis


Ligaments of spleen • Gastrosplenic ligament -

a double layer of peritoneum that connects the fundus of stomach to hilum of spleen. In this double layer of peritoneum are the short gastric and left gastroepiploic vessels

• Splenorenal ligament -extends between the hilum of spleen and anterior aspect of left kidney. The splenic vessels lies within this ligament, as well as the tail of pancreas

• Phrenicosplenic ligament • Splenocolic ligament


Ligaments of stomach

• Retrocecal recess - in which the appendix frequenty lies

• Hepatorenal recess - lies between the right lobe of liver, right kidney, and right colic flexure, and is the lowest parts of the peritoneal cavity when the subject is supine


Folds and fossas of anterior abdominal wall • Median umbilical fold －

contain the remnant of urachus (median umbilical ligaments)

• Medial umbilical fold －contains remnants of the umbilical arteries (medial umbilical ligaments)

• Lateral umbilical fold －contains the inferior epigastric vessels

• Supravesical fossa • Medial inguinal fossa • Lateral inguinal fossa


Pouches

• In male－rectovesical pouch

• In female – Rectouterine pouch －between rectum and uterus

Peritoneal subdivisions The transverse colon and

transverse mesocolon divides the greater sac into supracolic and infracolic compartments.

Supracolic compartments

(subphrenic space)－lies between diaphragm and transverse colon and transverse mesocolon

Suprahepatic recess lies between the diaphragm and live－the falciform ligament divides it into right and left suprahepatic recesses


• Left suprahepatic recesses – left anterior suprahepatic

spaces

– left posterior suprahepatic spaces

• Right suprahepatic recesses – right anterior suprahepatic

spaces

– right posterior suprahepatic spaces

– bare area of live (extraperitoneal space)


Infrahepatic recess

lies between the liver and transverse colon and transverse mesocolon－the ligamentum teres hepatic divides it into right and left infrahepatic recesses

• Right infrahepatic recesses (hepatorenal recess)

• Left infrahepatic recesses

– left anterior infrahepatic space

– left posterior infrahepatic space


Infracolic compartments －lies below the transverse colon and transverse mesocolon

• Right paracolic sulcus (gutter) • －lies lateral to the ascending colon.

It communicates with the hepatorenal recess and the pelvic cavity. It provides a route for the spread of infection between the pelvic and the upper abdominal region.

• Left paracolic sulcus (gutter) • －lies lateral to the descending colon.

It is separated from the area around the spleen by the phrenicocolic ligament, a fold of peritoneum that passes from the colic flexure to the diaphragm.


• Right mesenteric sinus －triangular space, lies between root of mesentery, ascending colon, right 2/3 of transverse colon and transverse mesocolon

• Left mesenteric sinus －lies between root of mesentery, descending colon, right 1/3 of transverse colon and transverse mesocolon, its widens below where it is continuous with the cavity of the pelvis
