Except for fat, all nutrients absorbed from the digestive tract are initially conveyed to the liver by the portal venous system.
In addition to its many metabolic activities, the liver stores glycogen and secretes bile, a yellow-brown or green fluid that aids in the emulsification of fat.
LIVER
![Page 3: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Bile passes from the liver via biliary ducts—right and left hepatic ducts—join to form common hepatic duct, which unites with the cystic duct to form the (common) bile duct.
![Page 4: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The liver produces bile continuously; however, between meals it accumulates and is stored in the gallbladder, which also concentrates the bile by absorbing water and salts.
When food arrives in the duodenum, the gallbladder sends concentrated bile through the biliary ducts to the duodenum.
![Page 5: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The normal liver lies on the right side and crosses the midline toward the left nipple.
Liver occupies most of the right hypochondrium and upper epigastrium and extends into the left hypochondrium.
![Page 6: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Liver hasA convex diaphragmatic surface (anterior, superior, and some posterior) A relatively flat or even concave visceral surface (posteroinferior), separated anteriorly by its sharp inferior border that follows the right costal margin.
![Page 7: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The diaphragmatic surface of the liver is covered with visceral peritoneum, except posteriorly in the bare area of the liver, where it lies in direct contact with the diaphragm.
![Page 8: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Externally, liver is divided into 2 anatomical lobes & 2 accessory lobes by the reflections of peritoneum from its surface, the fissures formed in relation to those reflections and the vessels serving the liver and the gallbladder.
These superficial “lobes” are not true lobes as the term is generally used in relation to glands and are only secondarily related to the liver's internal architecture.
![Page 9: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The essentially midline plane defined by the attachment of the falciform ligament and the left sagittal fissure separates a large right lobe from a much smaller left.
On the visceral surface, the right and left sagittal fissures course on each side of—and the transverse porta hepatis separates:2 accessory lobes (parts of the anatomic right lobe): Quadrate lobe anteriorly and inferiorlyCaudate lobe posteriorly and superiorly.

Lies in fossa for the gallbladder on the visceral surface of the liver.
This shallow fossa @ junction of right & left liver.
Gallbladder
![Page 11: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Relationship of gallbladder to duodenum is so intimate that the superior part of the duodenum is usually stained with bile in the cadaver.
In its natural position the body of the gallbladder lies anterior to the superior part of the duodenum, its neck and cystic duct are immediately superior to the duodenum.
![Page 12: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Convey bile from the liver to the duodenum.
Bile is produced continuously by the liver and stored, concentrated in the gallbladder, which releases it intermittently when fat enters the duodenum.
Bile emulsifies the fat so that it can be absorbed in the distal intestine.
Biliary ducts
![Page 13: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The bile duct (formerly called the common bile duct) forms by the union of the cystic duct and common hepatic duct.
The bile duct descends posterior to the superior part of the duodenum and lies in a groove on the posterior surface of the head of the pancreas.
![Page 14: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
PANCREASElongated, accessory digestive gland that lies retroperitoneally, overlying and transversely on the posterior abdominal wall.
Lies posterior to the stomach between the duodenum on the right and the spleen on the left.
PANCREAS
![Page 15: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The pancreas produces: Exocrine secretion (pancreatic juice from the acinar cells) enters the
duodenum through the main and accessory pancreatic ducts.
Endocrine secretions (glucagon and insulin from the pancreatic islets [of Langerhans]) enter the blood.
Pancreas is divided into 4 parts: Head Neck BodyTail
![Page 16: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Ovoid, usually purplish, pulpy mass about the size and shape of one's fist.
Relatively delicate and considered the most vulnerable abdominal organ.
Located in the superolateral part of the left upper quadrant (LUQ) or hypochondrium of the abdomen where it enjoys protection of the inferior thoracic cage.
SPLEEN
![Page 18: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
As the largest of the lymphatic organs, it participates in the body's defense system as a site of lymphocyte (white blood cell) proliferation and of immune surveillance and response. To accommodate these functions, the spleen is a soft, vascular (sinusoidal) mass with a relatively delicate fibroelastic capsule.
The diaphragmatic surface of the spleen is convexly curved to fit the concavity of the diaphragm and curved bodies of the adjacent ribs.
![Page 19: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Portal vein Final common pathway for the transport of venous blood from the spleen, pancreas, gallbladder, and the abdominal part of the gastrointestinal tract.
Formed by the union of splenic vein & superior mesenteric vein posterior to the neck of the pancreas.
PORTAL SYSTEM
![Page 24: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Venous drainage of the spleen, pancreas, gallbladder, and the abdominal part of the gastrointestinal tract, except for the inferior part of the rectum, is through the portal system of veins, which deliver blood from these structures to the liver.
Once blood passes through the hepatic sinusoids, it passes through progressively larger veins until it enters the hepatic veins, which return the venous blood to the inferior vena cava just inferior to the diaphragm.
![Page 25: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A rich blood supply to support its digestive activities.Arterial blood supplied mainly by Coeliac artery to the stomach, pancreas, spleen and liver Mesenteric arteries to the intestines.
VESSELS & NERVES OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM
![Page 26: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Venous blood drains from the stomach, pancreas and spleen via the hepatic portalvein into the liver, where the products of digestion undergo further processing and detoxification. Blood from oesophagus and rectum does not go through the liver but drains directly into the venous system.
![Page 27: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
There are two types of nerve supply to the GI tract. The enteric system, found within the walls of the GI tract, is sometimes known as the 'gut brain' and controls movement and secretion within the gut. Nerves from the autonomic nervous system also supply the GI tract.
![Page 28: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PART 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081421/5681672c550346895ddbca96/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Sympathetic systemreduce blood flow to the gut decrease secretions, motility and contractions,
Parasympathetic system Increase in motility and secretion within the tract and relaxation of the gut sphincters.
The vagus nerve (Xth cranial) supplies the oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, bile duct, small intestine and upper colon.
