Study Notes
Arterial Supply to the Stomach
- The main arterial supply to the stomach is from the celiac trunk.
- The left gastric artery is supplied by the celiac trunk.
- The right and left gastric arteries, along with the short gastric arteries, supply the stomach with blood.
Venous Drainage of the Stomach
- The right and left gastric veins drain into the portal vein.
Lymphatic Drainage of the Stomach
- Lymph is drained from the stomach into the celiac nodes, except for the fundus, which drains into the pancreaticosplenic nodes.
Innervation of the Stomach
- The vagus nerve supplies parasympathetic innervation to the stomach.
- Autonomic innervation to the stomach is provided by sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers.
Gastric Ulcers
- A common cause of gastric ulcers is Helicobacter pylori infection.
- A potential complication of gastric ulcers is perforation, which can lead to peritonitis.
- A chronic ant perforated ulcer can invade the pancreas, leading to pancreatitis.
- A chronic post perforated ulcer involving the splenic artery can lead to bleeding.
Other Relevant Information
- The gastrosplenic ligament attaches from the upper part of the greater curvature of the stomach to the hilum of the spleen.
