stomach anatomy Flashcards
1
Q
what do the layers of the mucosa contain
A
- epithelial layer with protective cells, secretion and absorption
- connective tissue layer, blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics
- muscularis mucosae, and thin smooth muscle layer
2
Q
what does the submucosa contain
A
- connective tissue
- blood vessels
- nerves
3
Q
what does the muscularis contain
A
- 2 layers of smooth muscle (circular and longitudinal)
- myenteric plexus
4
Q
what does the serosa contain
A
- thin layer of connective tissue
- peritoneum (epthelial cells)
5
Q
what are the features of the oesophagus
A
- continuation of the laryngopharynx connecting the pharynx to the stomach
- dorsal to trachea on left hand side
- travels through the mediastinum
- passes through oesophageal hiatus of diaphragm
6
Q
discuss the muscles of the oesophagus
A
- differ from elsewhere in the GIT
- striated to facilitate vomiting
- circular muscle layer particularly well developed in upper region and at junction of the stomach (sphincters)
7
Q
what occurs during the oral phase of swallowing
A
- fod mixed with saliva to form bolus
- tongue moves bolus to back of the mouth
8
Q
what occurs during the pharyngeal stage of swallowing
A
- vocal folds close
- epiglottis covers entrance to the trachea
9
Q
what occurs during the esophageal stage of vomiting
A
- the upper sphincter of the esophagus opens
- food passes into the esophagus, entrance to trachea is reopened and upper esophageal sphincter closes. breathing can resume
- swallowing centre in medulla initiates a wave of contractions in the circular muscle layer
- the peristatic wave travels along the esophagus carrying the bolus ahead of it to the lower esophageal sphincter (quick)
- in many species the function of the lower (cardiac) sphincter is aided by the sharp angle at which the esophagus enters the stomach (acting as a one way valve)

discuss the blood supply to the stomach
A
- coeliac artery is cranial most supply branches into:
- hepatic
- splenic
- left gastric
15
Q

A
hepatic protal vein
