Structure and key features The Esophagus, sometimes referred to as the Oesophagus, is the 25cm muscular tube that connects the pharynx (throat) to the stomach. It is described in 3 parts, Cervical (4cm), Thoracic (20cm), and Abdominal (12cm). The superior opening of the esophagus is surrounded by a group of skeletal muscles called the upper esophag...
Structure and key features The stomach is a crescent shaped, receptacle organ that stores food between the esophagus and intestines. It is commonly divided into four regions differing based on the shape and actions (form fits function!). The narrow transition from the esophagus is called the cardia. Within the cardia is the lower esophageal sphinct...
Structure and key features The stomach transitions to the small intestine via the pyloric sphincter – the first segment that the chyme (partially digested food) passes through is called the duodenum. The small intestine, or small bowel, is divided into 3 parts; the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum (not to be confused with ilium). The small inte...
Structure and key features Because of their close relationship, diseases like Crohn’s/Colitis can affect both the small and large intestine. However, there are structural differences between the two intestinal tracts. The small intestine turns into the large intestine at the ileocecal valve. The large intestine is shorter, but gets its reputation f...
The right kidney sits just below the diaphragm and posterior to the liver. The left kidney sits below the diaphragm and posterior to the spleen. On top of each kidney is an adrenal gland. The upper parts of the kidneys are partially protected by the 11th and 12th ribs.
The kidneys have a superior and inferior pole, medial and lateral margins, and an anterior and posterior surface. The superior pole of each kidney is deep to the rib cage. For the right kidney, its superior pole is at the 12th rib and for the left, the superior pole is at ribs 11 and 12.
The renal circulation is an important part of the kidney’s primary function of filtering waste products from the blood. Blood is supplied to the kidneys via the renal arteries. The right renal artery supplies the right kidney, and the left renal artery supplies the left kidney.
