What are the parts of the stomach
Cardia
Fundus
Body
pyloric
What is the area of the stomach does the esophagus join
Cardia
What is the area above the cardia
Fundus
What the most distal portion of the stomach
Pyloric
What are the two curvatures of the stomach
Greater curvature
Lesser curvature
Where is the Cardial notch of the stomach located
Between esophagus and fundu
Where is the angular notch located
Between body and pyloric part
Where is the cardial oriface of the stomach located
Between the esophagus and stomach
Where is the pyhloric oriface of the stomach located
Between stomach and duodenum
What is the widest part of the pyloric part of the stomach
Pyloric Antrum
What is the narrowest part of the pyloric part of the stomach
pyloric canal
What is the termination of the pyloric part of the stomach
Pyloric distal
What marks the pylorus externally
Pyloric constriction
What are the gastric folds also called
Rugae
What is the purpose of the Gastric folds/Rugae
increase SA and allows for expansion
What is Congenital Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis
Tumor-like increase in the size of the pyloric sphincter that reduces size of pyloric canal
What sex is Congenital Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis most common in
Males,
At birth
what does Congenital Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis result in
Projectile vomiting
What is pylorospasm
spazmodic contraction of pyloric sphincter
What happens in pylorospasm
Food does not pass easily into duodenum, causing the stomach to become over full
A subluxation at what vertebral level may cause pylorospasm
T5-T9
How does a gastric ulcer form
Gastric acid erodes stomach mucosa
What can cause a gastric ulcer
Excess acid secretion (stree related)
Inadequate mucus barriers (helicobacter pylori erodes barrier)
What nerve controls acid secretions of parietal cells
Vagus nerve
Subluxations at what vertebral level may cause a gastric ulcer
Vagus sympathetic (T5-T9)
What supplied blood to the stomach
The celiac trunk
What gives sympathetic innervation to the stomach
Greater splanchnic nerves (T5-T9)
What gives parasympathetic innervation to the stomach
Vagus nerve
