stomach, pancreas, spleen Flashcards
functions of stomach
- reception and storage of food (adult capactiy 2-3 liters)
- mechanical and chemical digestion: making chyme with gastric juices and hcl
- releasese chyme into the duodenum
location of stomach
upper part of abdomen beneath left costal margin into epigastric and umbilical regions
attachments of stomach
lesser omentum, greater omentum, gastrosplenic ligament/omentum
lesser omentum is a
double layer of peritonium that connects lesser curv of stomach to liver
LANDMARK that separates fundus from stomach body
cardiac notch
angular notch/incisure
sharp bent that separates the body from pyloris
pyloris separated into
antrum (biggest part) and pyloric canal
what regulates the amount of chyme passing through stomach to duodenum
pyloric sphincter
function of rugae
stomach expansion
2 layers of gi tract
inner circular and outer longitudinal
3 layers of stomach
innner oblique, middle circular, outer longitudinal
anterior relations to stomach
anterior abdominal wall, left costal margin, left pleura, left lung, diaphragm, left lobe of liver
posterior relations of stomach
lesser sac diaphragm, spleen, left suprarenal gland, upper part of left kidney, splenic artery, pancreas, transverse mesocolon, transverse colon
blood supply of stomach
left/right gastric arteries, l/r gastro-epiploic arteries, short gastric arteries, corresponding veins drain into the portal circulation
short gastric is a branch of the
splenic artery (most lat)
left gastric a goes up and down the
lesser curvature of stomach (anastomes with right gastric a)
left gastric is branch of
celiac trunk
left gastro epiploic branch of
splenic a
what goes under the greater curvature
left and right gastro epiploic
right gastro epiploic a is a branch of the
gastroduodenal a
right gastric artery branch of
proper hepatic
veins drain into the (stomach)
portal circulation
posterior gastric a is a branch of
splenic a
lymph drainage of stomach
celiac nodes
order of lymph drainage of stomach
celiac nodes > intestinal trunk > cisterna chyli >thoracic duct > l braciocephalic v
nerve supply of the stomach
vagus nerve and greater splanchnic
vagus n supplies
ps fibers: secretomotor to gastric glands, motor to smooth muscles of stomach,
inhibitory fibers: pyloric sphincter
splancnic n supplies
motor fibers to pyloric sphincter and blood
pain transmitting nerve fibers
