Exempel på hur man kan använda PHRENICOCOLIC i en mening

• A fold of peritoneum, the phrenicocolic ligament is continued from the left colic flexure to the thoracic diaphragm opposite the tenth and eleventh ribs; it passes below and serves to support the spleen, and therefore has received the name of sustentaculum lienis.
• The left paracolic gutter is larger than the right, which together with the partial barrier provided by the phrenicocolic ligament, may explain why left subphrenic collections are more common than right subphrenic collections.
• This is supported by the idea that the flow of peritoneal fluid containing endometrial cells to the left hemidiaphragm is obstructed by the falciform and phrenicocolic ligaments, subsequently only reaching the right hemidiaphragm, and the observation that endometriosis is nine times more likely to occur on the right hemidiaphragm than on the left.
