Stomach, celiac trunk, liver, gallbladder, spleen Flashcards
How many surfaces of the stomach are there?
2
anterior and posterior
How many borders of the stomach are there?
2
lesser curvature and greater curvature
angular notch
notch in the lesser curvature of the stomach
how many orifices of the stomach?
2
cardial and pyloric
(cardial notch and pyloric notch)
What are some basic parts of the stomach?
- cardia
- fundus (usually just gas)
- body
- pyloric part
stomach functions
- storage
- mixing
- physical breakdown
- chemical breakdown
- controlled release
storage in the stomach
- rugae
- wrinkling of muscular layer of mucosa (muscular mucosae)
mixing in the stomach
a semifulid mixture of partly digested food with water and gastric juice to produce a creamy medium called chyme
physical breakdown in the stomach
via smooth muscle of the muscularis external and HCL
chemical breakdown in the stomach
pepsin
what does pepsin break down?
protein
controlled release of stomach
movement of chyme into the small intestine is regulate by a valve at the end of the stomach called the pyloric sphincter
The mucosa of the stomach
-contains gastric pits that penetrate deep into the layer forming ducts whose walls are lined with various gastric glands
What are the gastric gland cells from superficial to deep?
- surface mucous cells
- mucous neck cells
- parietal cells
- chief cells
- enteroendocrine cells
mucous surface cells
- most superficial gastric gland cell
- secretes mucous to aid in protection from acidic juices
mucous neck cells
- 2nd gastric gland cell
- line the upper walls (neck) of the ducts
- secrete mucous
Parietal (oxyntic) cells
- 3rd gastric gland cell
- secrete HCL and intrinsic factor
What does HCl activate?
pepsinogen secretion
What does intrinsic factor do?
absorption of B12
Chief (zymogenic) cells
- 4th gastric gland cell
- secrete pepsinogen and gastric lipase
pepsinogen
precursor of pepsin
what does gastric lipase do?
breakdown fats
Enteroendocrine cells
- deepest layer of gastric gland cells
- secrete various hormones that diffuse into nearby vessels
- gastrin stimulates other glands of the stomach to increase their output
What does the Aorta name change and at what point?
Abdominal Aorta at the aortic hiatus
Where does the abdominal aorta end?
ends by dividing into L and R Common Iliac arteries
What are the unpaired branches coming off of the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta
- celiac trunk
- superior mesenteric artery
- inferior mesenteric artery
- median sacral artery
What are the paired branches that come laterally off of the abdominal aorta?
- inferior phrenic arteries
- middle suprarenal arteries
- renal arteries
- gonadal arteries
- lumbar arteries
Celiac trunk branches
- left gastric artery
- splenic artery
- common hepatic artery
Left gastric artery
- smallest branch of celiac trunk
- supplies esophagus and stomach
- anastomoses with right gastric artery
Splenic artery
- largest branch of celiac trunk
- relationship to splenorenal ligament
- tortuous, top of pancreas
- supplies pancreas, stomach, greater omentum, and spleen
common hepatic artery
- branch off of celiac trunk
- splits into 2 branches
- proper hepatic artery
- gastroduodenal artery
Proper hepatic artery
- branch from the common hepatic artery, which is branched from the celiac trunk
- divides into
- left hepatic artery
- right hepatic artery
right hepatic artery
- branches from the right hepatic artery
- supplies gallbaldder via the cystic artery
Right Gastric artery
- anastomoses with the left gastric artery
- lesser curvature of the stomach
