CSFA EXAM B ESSENTIAL STUDY QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
◉ duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
Answer: make up small intestines
◉ duodenum.
Answer: first of small intestines where all food digestion is
complete; associated with Brunner's gland; connects the pylori of
the stomach to the jejunum
◉ jejunum.
Answer: absorption of digested foods, vitamins,& electrolytes; thick
wall with larger lumen in diameter and more vascularity compared
to ileum; color; deep red
◉ ileum.
Answer: final portion of small intestines,connects to the cecum;
absorbs nutrients the jejunum doesn't ; Meckel's Diverticulum found
here color;pale pink Peyer's patches
◉ Superior Mesenteric Artery
SMA.
,Answer: blood supply to the distal pancreas,duodenum, cecum, and
the ascending and right transverse colon;
what are some medical conditions that may mimic anorexia?
What is the most common vessel blocked with intestinal ischemia?
The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery branches off which artery?
◉ Inferior Mesenteric Artery
IMA.
Answer: oirgin: abdominal aorta; Supplies the left half of the
transverse colon, the descending/iliac/and sigmoid colon, and part
of the rectum; often sacrificed during AAA REPAIR, COLONIC
ISHEMIA CAN OCCUR
◉ 5 MAJOR ARTERIES THAT SUPPLY THE LARGE INTESTINES.
Answer: Iliocolic artery, right colic artery, middle colic artery, left
colic artery, and the superior rectal artery
◉ layers of the stomach and intestines.
Answer: serosa, mucosa, and submucosa
◉ large intestines.
Answer: cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending
colon, sigmoid, and rectum; water absorption back into the
bloodstream, and eliminates food wastes ;
,◉ ileocecal valve.
Answer: regulates discharge of small intestinal contents into large
intestines; permits movement of fecal matter and gas in either
direction which helps prevent obstructions
◉ cecum.
Answer: widest and smallest part of the colon; first part of the large
intestines; appendix is attached ;where the distal ilium enters and
forms the ileocecal valve; intraperitoneal covered by mesocecum
◉ appendix.
Answer: mass of lymphatic tissue that helps contribute to immunity;
connects to the cecum;possible cause of appendictis in adults-fecal
matter blocking the lumen; appendisitis in youth- hyperplasia of
lyphatic follicles in appendix occludes the lumen
◉ ascending colon.
Answer: right side of the abdomen from the cecum up to the
transverse coloncontracts rt. lobe of the liver; secondarily
retroperitoneal
◉ transverse colon.
, Answer: part of the colon that extends across the abdomen, blood
supply from the SMA and IMA; vitamin K is produced here; most
movable part of lg. intestines; intraperotoneal
*structures that hold transverse colon are transverse
mesocolic,hepatic flexure, and splenic flexure
◉ descending colon.
Answer: left colic flexure down from the transverse to the sigmoid;
secondarily retroperitoneal
◉ sigmoid colon.
Answer: most common site for diverticula; S shaped part of the
colon between the ascending and rectum;suseptible to volvulus
because greatest range of motion, easy to twist on itself
◉ volvulus.
Answer: twisting of the bowel can cut off blood supply and lead to
gangrene; can be corrected by peristalsis
◉ peristalis.
Answer: contraction of smooth muscle that keep digested food
moving downward
◉ Triangle of Calot.
