Study Notes
Abdominal Cavity
- The abdominal cavity is a large body cavity.
- It's divided into two parts: the abdomen proper (larger upper part) and the pelvic cavity (smaller lower part).
- It's bounded above by the thoraco-abdominal diaphragm.
- The lower boundary is the pelvic diaphragm.
Peritoneum
- A serous membrane lining the abdominal wall (parietal peritoneum) and enclosing abdominal viscera (visceral peritoneum).
- It has two layers: parietal and visceral.
- The space between them is the peritoneal cavity, containing a small amount of fluid.
- This cavity can be male or female.
Abdominal Portion of the Esophagus
- 1.5-2.5 cm long distal part of the esophagus.
- It enters the abdominal cavity through the esophageal opening of the diaphragm (T10).
- Connects to the stomach at the cardiac orifice.
Stomach
- A dilated part of the alimentary tract (1.5 liters capacity).
- Located in the upper quadrant (left hypochondriac, epigastric, and umbilical regions).
- Has two curvatures (greater and lesser).
- Divided into fundus, body, and pyloric region.
Duodenum
- The first part of the small intestine.
- C-shaped.
- Divided into four parts: superior, descending, transverse, and ascending.
- Receives the common bile duct and pancreatic ducts.
Pancreas
- Flat, pistol-shaped gland.
- Located behind the stomach.
- Has head, neck, body, and tail.
- Produces exocrine and endocrine secretions.
Spleen
- Largest lymphatic organ.
- Encapsulated, irregular, wedge-shaped, and vascular.
- Located in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen.
- Two major functions (removal of old blood cells and lymphocyte production).
Clinical Correlations
- Includes conditions like gastric/duodenal ulcers, gastrectomy, gastric cancer, pancreatic hypertrophy, diabetes mellitus, and splenomegaly.
