| What anatomic structure should you reference when looking to find the common bile duct on an axial image? | the head of the pancreas |
| What function does the pancreas serve? | endocrine function (insulin and glucagon) & exocrine (digestive enzymes for breaking down starches, lipids, proteins, and neutralizes gastric acid |
| What is the largest lymph organ in the abdomen? | the spleen |
| What functions does the spleen have? | produces white blood cells, filters abnormal blood cells from blood, stores iron from red blood cells, initiates the immune response |

| What are the three branches of the celiac trunk? | Lt gastric artery, common hepatic artery, splenic artery |
| To what structures does the superior mesenteric artery supply blood to? | head of pancreas, and the majority of the small and large intestines |
| What artery supplies blood to the colon? | the inferior mesenteric artery |
| Where is the superior mesenteric artery found? | about 3-4 cm above the aortic bifurcation |
| What is the largest vein of the body? | inferior vena cava (IVC) |
| What two vessels combine to make the IVC? | the right and left common iliac arteries |
| What vessels supply blood to the kidneys? | renal arteries |
| Where do the renal arteries arise from? | the aorta |
| Where do the renal veins dump deoxygenated blood? | the IVC |
| How is a patient positioned for an abdominal procedure? | supine, head first and arms above the head? |
| Why should patients hold their breath during abdominal imaging? | to minimize motion artifacts and slice misregistration |
| What is an AAA? | abdominal aortic aneurysm; dilatation of the abdominal aorta |
