  4. 4The abdominal aorta should measure?Less that 3 cm
  5. 5Arises 1-2 CM below diaphragm, "T" sign or "seagull"' and gives rise to 3 vesselsCeliac trunk or axis
  6. 6The celiac trunk gives rise to which 3 vessels?Left gastric, hepatic artery, splenic artery
  7. 7Courses toward stomachLeft gastric
  8. 8Courses toward liver and gives rise to gastroduodenal artery just before entering the liver.Hepatic artery
  9. 9Courses toward the spleenSplenic artery
  10. 10What does hepatopetal mean?Courses toward the liver
  11. 11Arises 1-2.5 CM below celiac axis, and courses inferiorly parallel to the aortaSuperior mesenteric artery
  12. 12Which artery courses inferior and parallel to the aorta?Superior mesenteric artery
  13. 13What does the SMA supply?Large and small bowel
  14. 14Arises from lateral aspect of the aorta and courses laterally to supple the kidneysRenal artery
  15. 15Should the renal arteries be high or low resistance?Low resistance
  16. 16What makes the right renal artery different from the left?Right renal artery is longer because it courses posterior to IVC
  17. 17Branch anterior/ lateral to supply the pelvis and scrotum/ ovariesGonadal arteries
  18. 18Are the gonadal arteries typically sonographically visible?No

  25. 25Drains deoxygenated blood from lower extremities and sub phrenic organsIVC
  26. 26The union of the common iliac veins forms the?IVC
  27. 27Drains the liver of deoxygenated, processed bloodHepatic veins
  28. 28The hepatic vein is made up of what 3 parts?Right, middle, left
  29. 29What view are the hepatic veins best obtained?Transverse
  30. 30Flow away from the liverHepatofugal
  31. 31Walls not echogenicNaked margins
  32. 32The hepatic veins empty in to which 2 vessels?IVC, RA
  33. 33Drains deoxygenated blood from the kidneysRenal veins
  34. 34The left renal vein courses between which 2 vessels?SMA and aorta
  35. 35The left renal vein will course ____to the aorta, _____to the SMAAnterior, posterior
  36. 36Which renal vein is longer?Left
  37. 37Aka testicular/ ovarian veinsGonadal veins
  38. 38The right scrotum/ ovary drains directly into the_______IVC
  39. 39The left scrotum/ ovary drains into the______Left renal vein and then the IVC
  40. 40Where do the common iliac veins unite?Level of the umbilicus
  41. 41System that takes deoxygenated blood nutrient rich blood from bowel and waste from spleen to the liver for filtration and metabolismPortal venous system
  42. 42What direction is the blood flow in the portal venous system?Hepatopetal
  43. 43Once blood goes through the liver, blood drains out from the liver into the________Hepatic veins
  44. 44What veins form the portal venous system?Splenic, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric, left gastric, portal vein
  45. 45Aka pyloric veinLeft gastric vein
  46. 46Anatomical landmark for pancreas, posterior to pancreatic tail, courses medically to join the SMVSplenic vein
  47. 47Travels superiorly from intestines, drains small bowel, joins with splenic vein to form main portal veinSuperior mesenteric vein
  48. 48The superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein joins to form?Portal confluence/ main portal vein
  49. 49Aka portal confluenceMain portal vein
  50. 50Which way foes the portal vein flow?Hepatopedal
  51. 51Located posterior to pancreatic neck, and divides the liver into right & left portal veinsMain portal vein
  52. 52The right portal vein supplies what portion of the liver?Right lobe
  53. 53The left portal vein supplies what portion of the liver?The left lobe and a portion of the right
