  • partly in left hypochondrium
  • gatsro-oesophageal junction provides physiological sphincter through increased muscles tone, supported by fibres
    around right crus of diaphragm
  • lesser curvature (superiorly)
    • runs along with left and right gastric arteries
  • greater curvature (inferiorly)
    • runs along with left and right gastro-epiploic arteries
  • fundus
    • all stomach above level of cardiac orifice
  • body
    • major part of stomach
  • pyloric antrum
    • bottom end of stomach from angular notch
  • pyloric sphincter
    • allows food to pass out into duodenum in small boli
    • 1cm to right of midline in transpyloric plane
  • blood suppy
    • 3 branches of coeliac artery
    • left gastric anastomoses with right gastric (from gastroduodenal artery)
    • splenic artery gives off left gastro-epiploic
    • hepatic artery gives off right gastro epiploic artery, superior pancreatico duodenal artery, right gastric artery
  • stomach may herniate through oesophageal hiatus of diaphragm (hiatus hernia)

Gastric Carcinoma

Gastric Acid Secretion

Hiatus Hernia

 

9.2.1.2.1 Abdominal oesophagus, stomach [Morph]

Surface markings of stomach, pylorus
Abdominal oesophagus; gastro-oesophageal junction and ‘sphincter’ mechanism.
Stomach: fundus, body; pyloric region (antrum, canal, sphincter); lesser curvature, greater curvature.
Greater omentum, lesser omentum; attachments to stomach; lesser sac.
Hiatus hernia; pyloric stenosis. Gastric ulceration

 

Coeliac artery to stomach and proximal duodenum (foregut): left and right gastric arteries; left and right gastroepiploic arteries Short gastric branches of splenic artery; gastroduodenal, pancreatico-duodenal arteries
