Study Notes

The text discusses various arteries and veins in the abdominal region.
The celiac artery arises from the celiac trunk and supplies the stomach and lower third of the esophagus, as well as the liver and spleen.
The common hepatic artery branches off the celiac artery and supplies the stomach and duodenum.
The inferior mesenteric artery arises inferior to the celiac axis and supplies the proximal half of the colon and the small intestine.
The abdominal aorta bifurcates at the level of the umbilicus into two branches that supply blood to the lower extremities.
The left colic artery arises from the anterior aortic wall at the level of the third or fourth lumbar vertebra to supply the left transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum.
The hepatic artery is a large arterial structure that arises from the left ventricle and supplies blood to the head, upper and lower extremities, and abdominopelvic cavity.
The splenic artery is a branch of the celiac axis that supplies the spleen, pancreas, stomach, and greater omentum.
The inferior mesenteric vein and splenic vein join to form the portal vein.
The hepatic veins drain the liver and empty into the inferior vena cava at the level of the diaphragm.
The text also mentions various venous and pathological terms, such as portal venous hypertension, cavernous transformation of the portal vein, and arteriosclerosis.
The abdominal Doppler terms mentioned include resistive index, hepatopetal, hepatofugal, spectral broadening, and Doppler sample volume.
The abdominal arterial vascular system includes the celiac trunk, celiac artery, superior mesenteric artery, inferior mesenteric artery, left gastric artery, and the hepatic artery.
