Below are links to selected videos from Acland's Video Atlas of
Anatomy. These videos contain more detail and terminology than I
expect you to learn for this class. For each required video, make
sure you can identify the terms listed below in blue boldface. The
links to the videos will open in a new tab.
Video 5.2.3 (run time: 3:26) This video is a
good place to start because it shows all the structures inside
the abdomen, and then removes each of them to eventually reveal
the stomach. Not named in the video is the body of the
stomach, which is the term for the central part of the
stomach.
What to identify in video 5.2.3:
greater
omentum
jejuno-ileum
mesentery
pylorus (pyloric sphincter)
fundus
body
antrum
greater curvature
lesser curvature
Video 5.2.6 (run time: 2:04) This short video is good for orienting where the important ducts enter the duodenum. It also illustrates how most of the duodenum is retroperitoneal, meaning it is located posteriorly, behind the peritoneum. The peritoneum is the serous membrane that surrounds and suspends digestive organs. Peritoneal organs (such as the stomach and the jejuno-ileum) are completely surrounded with peritoneum. Two layers of peritoneum joined together form the mesenteries, which suspend these organs and provide a route for blood vessels and nerves.
What to identify in video 5.2.6:
stomach
duodenum
jejunum
gallbladder
liver
pancreas
Video 5.2.19 (run time: 1:04) and Video 5.2.20 (run time: 3:29) These two videos illustrate the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder, which supply important digestive secretions via the ducts that empty into the duodenum at the duodenal papilla.
What to identify in video 5.2.19 and video 5.2.20:
liver
hepatic bile duct
cystic bile duct
common bile duct
duodenal papilla
Video 5.2.9 (run time: 3:23) This video shows the rest of the small intestine. Since there is no clear boundary between the jejunum and ileum, you can just identify them as jejuno-ileum. The exception is in the last part of the video focusing on the distal end where you can clearly identify the ileum.
What to identify in video 5.2.9:
jejuno-ileum
mesentery
plicae circulares
ileum
cecum
Video 5.2.10 (run time: 1:21) and Video 5.2.11 (run
time: 1:29) We will mainly use the model to identify
the different parts of the large intestine, but the first video
nicely shows the junction between the small and large intestine,
the ileocecal valve. The second video is mainly useful for
showing the ribbons of longitudinal muscle in the large
intestine, the tenia coli.
What to identify in video 5.2.10 and video 5.2.11:
ileum
cecum
ileocecal valve
appendix
tenia coli
