Parasympathetic nerve supply Flashcards
Where is the parasympathetic nerve supply of the stomach from?
anterior and posterior vagal trunks and branches
where is the anterior vagal trunk derived from?
left vagus nerve
what are the branches of the anterior vagal?
hepatic branch
duodenal branch
anterior gastric branch
What is the course of the anterior vagal?
enters on anterior side of esophagus
runs to lesser curve -gives of hepatic and duodenal branches (they leave in the hepatoduadonal ligament)
rest continues along lesser curvature to give rise to anterior gastric branches
What is the posterior vagal derived?
right vagus nerve
What are the branches of the posterior vagal?
anterior branches of stomach
posterior branches of stomach
celiac branch (celiac plexus)
posterior gastric branches
what is the course of the posterior vagal?
runs on the posterior surface of esophagus
passes to lesser curve, branches to anterior/posterior surfaces of stomach
gives of a celiac branch -> to celiac plexus
rest continue to lesser curvature gives off posterior gastric branches
