Stomach Flashcards
Stomach lies in
epigastric, umblical, left
hypocondriac region
Lesser curvatures gives attachment to
Lesser omentum
❑Greater curvature attachments
Left of fundus & adjoining body -
gastrosplenic lig.
• Beyond this - greater omentum
opening from
the stomach
into the
duodenum,
pyloric
orifice
Muscular layer

Circular fibers form …..
Annular pyloric sphincter
Peritoneum covers the entire
surface except:
Attachments of greater
and lesser curvatures
A small posterior area
near the cardiac orifice
