Study Notes
Antero-superior Surface
- Left half is in contact with the diaphragm, creating separation from the left lung's base and the pericardium.
- Adjacent to the seventh, eighth, and ninth ribs, as well as intercostal spaces.
- Right half connects to the left and Quadrate lobes of the liver and the anterior abdominal wall.
Postero-inferior Surface
- Relates with the diaphragm, spleen, left suprarenal gland, and the upper part of the left kidney's anterior surface.
- Associated with the anterior surface of the pancreas and the left colic flexure.
- Also linked to the upper layer of the transverse mesocolon, contributing to the structure known as "THE STOMACH BED."
- The stomach rests on this shallow bed formed by these surrounding structures.
