Lecture 3 - Stomach and Duodenum Flashcards
Arteries that come out of the the abdominal aorta?
- Celiac Trunk at T12
- Superior Mesenteric Artery L1
- Inferior Mesenteric Artery L3
Branches of the Celiac Trunk?
- ) Common Hepatic Artery
- ) Splenic Artery
- ) Left Gastric Artery
Branches of the common hepatic artery and where is it?
- ) Proper hepatic artery
- ) Gastroduodenal artery
Runs through the hepatoduodenal ligament
Branches of the splenic artery and where is it?
- ) Short Gastric
- ) Left gastro omental artery
Runs along the sueprior border of the pancreas to the spleen
Branches of the left gastric artery and where is it?
1.) esophageal branches
And it descends to the lesser curvature of the stomach
What are the branches of the superior mesenteric artery and what does it supply?
1.) (anterior and posterior) inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery
It supplies the duodenum distal to the papilla
How is the esophagus attached to the stomach?
It is attached to the stomach by the phrenico-esophageal ligament.
Where does the stomach terminate and what is there?
It terminates at the cardial orifice of the stomach and there is an inferior esophageal sphincter (physiological)
Where does the esophagus travel through to go to the abdominal and at what level?
It travels through the esophageal hiatus at the diaphragm at the level of T10.
What is the arterial supply to the esophagus?
Esophageal branches from the left gastric artery
What is the venous drainage of the esophagus?
- ) left gastric vein that is in the portal venous system
2. ) esophageal veins that are in the systemic venous system
What are the lymphatics at the esophagus?
Left gastric lymph nodes that drain into the celiac lymph nodes
innervation of the esophagus?
Parasympathetic - vagus
Sympathetic - greater splanchnic nerve
What happens in the stomach or what is its function?
Stomach is an extended part of the GI tract where food accumulates and prepares for mechanical breakdown and chemical digestion.
What are the parts of the stomach?
- ) Cardia (at the level of T11)
- ) Fundus - gas goes into it
- ) Body - two curvatures
- ) Pylorus
