Study Notes
Stomach Anatomy
- The stomach features two orifices: the cardiac orifice leading to the esophagus and the pyloric orifice connecting to the duodenum.
- The fundus of the stomach is the upper curvature, positioned above the gastro-esophageal junction.
- The pylorus is a narrow, muscular canal measuring 1–2 cm, extending from the sulcus to the pyloric orifice.
Digestive System Structure
- The digestive system consists of a hollow muscular tube that stretches from the oral cavity to the anus.
Stomach Curvatures
- The lesser curvature represents a shorter concave border, while the longer convex border is the greater curvature of the stomach.
Central Region
- The main central region of the stomach is called the body, serving as the primary digestive area.
Anatomical Position
- The lesser curvature of the stomach connects to the liver via the lesser omentum.
- The pyloric region of the stomach is located at the level of L1, approximately 2.5 cm to the right of the midline.
Pyloric Region
- The region of the stomach from the incisura angularis to the pylorus delineates the pyloric area, crucial for gastric emptying.
