Document Summary

Chest pain: dysphasia - difficult to swallow. Longitudinal folds (rugae) allow for stomach to expand. Lesser curvature - attachment of lesser ommentum o o: greater curvature - attachment of greater ommentum o. Allows for churning of food to turn into chyme. Blood supply from celiac trunk (off abdominal aorta) Right gastric artery - branch off hepatic artery. Splenic artery o: gastroduodenal artery - branch off hepatic artery. Bile from liver/gall bladder via common bile duct. Blood supply: gastroduodenal artery - supplies proximal half o. Erosion of the lining of stomach or small intestine. Cause: helicobacter pylori - bacteria, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids, hypersecretion of hcl (stress) Erosion ulcer - effects mucosa o: acute ulcer - penetrates musculoris externa o. Perforating ulcer - penetrates wall of gi tract, may create infection through serosa. Diameter is greater than small intestine: half the length. Major function to absorb water from indigestible material forming semi-solid feces.
