Flashcard 4: Which organ relates to the visceral surface of the spleen in the region between the hilum and the inferior border (the renal impression)?

Answer: Left kidney

Extra: Impressions on the visceral surface of the spleen: - Gastric: Stomach (superior to hilum) - Renal: Left kidney (inferior to hilum) - Colic: Left colic flexure (at the lateral end) - Pancreatic: Tail of pancreas (near the hilum/colic area)

Answer: Treves

Flashcard 6: The _____ ligament separates the greater and lesser sacs on the left (left or right)

Answer: gastrosplenic

Extra: The **lesser sac** (omental bursa) is a space behind the stomach and lesser omentum. **Boundaries:** * **Anterior**: Stomach, lesser omentum (gastrohepatic & hepatoduodenal ligaments), and gastrocolic ligament. * **Left**: **Gastrosplenic** and **splenorenal** ligaments. * **Right**: Epiploic foramen (Foramen of Winslow), which is the communication between the greater and lesser sacs. * **Posterior**: Pancreas, left kidney/adrenal, and aorta.
