1
The small intestines and the first 2/3 of the
large intestine are supplied with blood by what
artery?
2
The Superior Mesenteric Artery
3
The Superior Mesenteric artery branches into what
arteries?
4
The mesenteric arteries.
5
Name the first branch off the aorta below the
diaphragm
6
The celiac artery
7
The celiac artery branches into what three
arteries?
8
The gastric, splenic, and hepatic arteries.
9
What organs do these arteries supply blood to?
10
The gastric supplies blood to the stomach, the
splenic supplies blood to the spleen, and the
hepatic supplies blood to the liver.
11
Are there celiac, inferior, and superior
mesenteric veins that empty directly into the
vena cava?
12
No. The celiac, inferior, and superior
mesenteric veins empty into the Hepatic Portal
System.
13
What is this thin shiny watery mesh-like membrane?
14
Mesentery
15
Name this red blood vessel.
16
Mesenteric artery
17
Name this yellow stained blood vessel.
18
Mesenteric vein.
19
What does the Hepatic Portal System empty into?
20
The liver
21
The large yellow vein that the mesenteric veins
empty into is called?
22
The Hepatic Portal Vein
23
What are the special macrophages in the liver
that phagocytize debris and bacteria and also
cleanse the blood?
24
Kupffer cells which prowl the walls of the liver
sinusoids.
25
What artery takes blood the the last 1/3 of the
Large intestine?
26
The inferior mesenteric artery.
27
Products of digestion that are filtered through
the Hepatic Portal System are said to be?
28
Blood-borne
29
What products of digestion are Blood-borne?
30
Amino acids, monosaccharides, disaccharides, etc.
31
In the small intestine, name the finger-like
projections that increase the surface area for
absorption of nutrients.
32
Villi (singular villus)
33
Each villus contains a capillary bed and what
other structure?
34
A lacteal, a dead-end beginning of a lymphatic
vessel.
35
What is the function of the lacteal within the
villus?
36
Lacteals absorb excess interstitial fluid and are
responsible for picking up and transporting the
products of fat digestion.
37
What are the products of fat digestion?
38
Monoglycerides, diglycerides, glycerol,
cholesterol, etc.
39
What structure do the products of fat digestion
originally become?
40
Chylomicrons--packages of fatty things surrounded
by a transport protein
41
Chylomicrons are made by the brush border cells
and exported to what dead-end vessels?
42
Lacteals. What larger and larger vessels do
lacteals empty into?
43
Lymphatic vessels
44
The lymphatic fluid in these vessels passes
through what structures?
45
Lymph nodes
46
What is the name of the large sinus that the
lymphatic vessels eventually empty into?
47
The cisterna chylii
48
The ciserna chylii is the beginning of what main
duct in the lymphatic system?
49
The thoracic duct
50
The thoracic duct empties into what vessel?
51
The left subclavian vein
52
From the left subclavian vein, trace the path of
the blood en route to the heart
53
The left subclavian vein empties into the left
brachiocephalic vein, which empties into the
superior vena cava, which empties into the right
heart.
54
What organ filters the lymph-borne products of
fat digestion?
55
None. Products of fat digestion go straight into
the bloodstream.
56
How do we refer to the products of fat digestion?
57
As lymph-borne
