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
location of left vagus
anterior to stomach
branch of vagus nerve that comes off anteriorly on lesser curvature
cut in selective vagotomy but preserved in highly selective vagotomy
Laterjet nerve
Right vagus Runs posterior to stomach and gives off
Criminal nerve of Grassi
if undivider during vagotomy->recurrent ulcer
Parasympathetic inn of stomach
Vagus
Sympathetic innvervation of stomach
Celiac plexus
D1 perigastric nodes
Greater and lesser curvature
2,4,6 Greater curve
1,3,5 Lesser curve
D2 nodes
Left gastric artery, Common hepatic artery, celiac axis, splenic hilum, splenic artery
D3 nodes
Hepatoduodenal ligament
Mesenteric root node
D4 nodes
Paraaortic
Paracolic
Ach Vagus nerve mechanism of release
IP3 activation
Inc intracellular Ca
Protein kinase C activation
Gastrin G cell mechanism of release
IP3 activation
Inc intracellular Ca
Protein kinase C activation
Histamine ECL cell mechanism of release
Activated adenylate cyclase
Inc cAMP
Protein kinase A activation
Etiologies of stress gastritis
Sepsis
Shock
Severe burns
Tx for PUD
2 week course of lansoprazole, metronidazole, amoxicillin
Men 40-60
60-90% assoc with H pylori
NSAID use
Rule out gastric adenocarcinoma always
Gastric ulcer
Gastric ulcer type associated with blood type A
Type I
Younger population 25-40 Excess HCl secretion (ZES) 90% H pylori infection related Stress Chemical ingestion Tobacco and alcohol
Duodenal
Gastritis from toxic substances
NSAID, alcohol, drugs
Abdominal pain, UGIB, Perforation
Tx: remove cause, PPI or H2
Vagotomy with pyloroplasty for severe
Erosive gastritis
Alkaline bile refluxes into stomach leading to irritation and mucosal inflammation
Common after pyloroplasty or Bilroth II
Severe POSTPRANDIAL abdominal pain
Endoscopy with biopsy
Reconstruct with Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy
Alkaline reflux
From sepsis, shock, burns >30% TBSA leading to mucosal ischemia
UGIB
Endoscopy with biopsy
IV resuscitation, anti acid
Curling’s ulcer gastritis
CNS tumor/trauma causing inc in gastrin and HCl secretion
UGIB
Endoscopy with biopsy
IV resuscitation, anti acid
Cushing’s ulcer gastritis
B12 def Weight loss, megaloblastic anemia Endoscopy with biopsy Intrinsic factor administration If severe: total gastrectomy with IV B12
Pernicious anemia gastritis
Most common type of gastric ulcer
Associated with blood type A
Type I
