Stomach Flashcards
Stomach develops at gestation during
5th week
Distal to GEJ
Most proximal portion of stomach
Cardia
Most superior portion of stomach
Separated from esophagus by cardiac notch or angle of His
Fundus
Fundus to pylorus
Largest portion of stomach
Corpus
Begins at angularis incisura wider leading to narrower pylorus
Antrum
Pyloric sphincter
controls release of gastric content into duodenun
pylorus
Layers of stomach
Mucosa: epithelium, lamina propria, muscularis mucosa (simple columnar cell)
Submucosa: strongest (CT and Meissner’s)
Muscularis propria or externa: inner oblique, middle circular, outer longitudinal, Auerbach’s
Serosa: visceral peritoneum
Forms characteristic rugae
Muscularis mucosa
40% of gastric epithelium
secretes pepsinogen
Chief cells
13% of gastric epithelium
HCl and IF secretion
Parieta oxyntic cells
Mucuous neck cells secrete
Mucuous
HCO3
D cells secrete
somatostatin
enterochromaffin cells
serotonin
enterochromaffin like cells
histamine
Surface epithelial cell
Mucuous cell
Non branching connected to pits glands
Mucuous and HC03
Cardia
Mucuous cell, parietal and chief cells Oxyntic glands Tubular branching Multiple gland empty into single pits Mucuous, HC03 some HCl and IF
Fundus
Mucuous cell, parietal, chief, ECL, D cell
Oxyntic gland (fundus)
HCl, IF, pepsinogen and mucous
Corpus
Mucous cell, G cell and D cell
Pyloric gland
Straight and empty into deep pits
Mucous HCO3 gastrin and somatostatin
Antrum
Pylorus
40% of gastric epithelium
Secrete mucuous and HC03
Mucous neck cell
3% of gastric epithelium G cells D cells ECL ECL like cells
Endocrine cells
Secrete serotonin
Kulchitsky cell
Left gastric vein is also called
coronary vein
Communicates with portal system and systemic venous system via esophageal plexus
Involved in varices formation
Left gastric vein
Blood supply of stomach
Left gastric artery Right gastric artery Left gastroepiploic artery Right gastroepiploic artery Short gastric artery
