Study Notes
Blood Supply and Drainage
- The lesser curvature of the stomach is supplied by the left and right gastric arteries.
- The greater curvature of the stomach is drained by the short gastric veins and the left gastroepiploic vein.
Anatomy of the Liver and Gallbladder
- The liver is an intraperitoneal organ.
- The fossa for the gallbladder lies between the right and quadrate lobes of the liver.
- The round ligament of the liver (ligamentum teres hepatis) is contained in the falciform ligament.
Anatomy of the Spleen
- The spleen belongs to the alimentary system.
- The spleen is located posterior to the stomach.
- The blood supply to the spleen is from the splenic artery, a branch of the celiac trunk.
Innervation and Function
- The stomach is innervated by the parasympathetic nervous system via the vagus nerve.
- The function of the liver is to filter blood, store glycogen, and produce bile.
- The main function of the gallbladder is to store and concentrate bile.
- The main function of the spleen is to filter the blood and store red blood cells.
