1.1. THE ANATOMY OF THE STOMACH.
The main function of the stomach is to process and transport food. After feeding, the contractile activity of the stomach helps to mix, grind and eventually evacuate small portions of chyme into the small bowel (12), while the rest of the chyme is mixed and ground.
Anatomically, the stomach can be divided into three major regions: fundus (the most proximal), corpus and antrum (Fig.1.1). Histologically, the fundus and corpus are hardly separable. In the antral area, the density of the smooth muscle cells increases (11).
Figure 1.1. Macroscopic anatomy of the stomach.
The stomach wall , like the wall of most other parts of the digestive canal, consists of three layers: the mucosal (the innermost), the muscularis and the serosal (the outermost). The mucosal layer itself can be divided into three layers: the mucosa (the epithelial lining of the gastric cavity), the muscularis mucosae (low density smooth muscle cells) and the submucosal layer (consisting of connective tissue interlaced with plexi of the enteric nervous system). The second gastric layer, the muscularis, can also be divided into three layers: the longitudinal (the most superficial), the circular and the oblique (Fig.1.2). The longitudinal layer of the muscularis can be separated into two different categories: a longitudinal layer that is common with the esophagus and ends in the corpus, and a longitudinal layer that originates in the corpus and spreads into the duodenum.
