-
Cecum
- large intestine
- -
first part
-
Vermiform Appendix
- large intestine
- -
worm-like projection of lymphatic tissue hanging off the cecum with no digestive function - - may serve to resist infection
- - (vermi= worm)
-

- large intestine
- -

Rectal Ampulla
- large intestine
- - dilated
portion of the rectum just above the anal canal
-
Peritoneum
- membrane surrounding the entire abdominal cavity
- - consists of: parietal layer (lining the abdominal wall), visceral layer (covering each organ in the abdomen)
-
Peritoneal Cavity

-
Omentum
- - a covering
- -
an extension of the peritoneum attached to the stomach & connecting it with other abdominal organs
-
Liver
- organ in the upper right quadrant
- -
produces bile, which is secreted into the duodenum during digestion
-
Gallbladder
receptacle that stores & concentrates the bile produced in the liver
-
Pancreas
gland that secretes pancreatic juice into the duodenum, where it mixes with bile to digest food
-
Biliary Ducts
(3 types)
- ducts that convey bile
- - 3 types: hepatic, cystic, & common bile ducts
-

-
Epigastric Region
upper middle region below the sternum
-
