The lesser curvature of the stomach forms the upper right or medial border of the stomach. [3] The lesser curvature of the stomach travels between the cardiac and pyloric orifices . It descends as a continuation of the right margin of the esophagus in front of the fibers of the right crus of the diaphragm , and then, turning to the right, it ...
Lower, accompanying the descending branches of the artery along the cardiac half of the lesser curvature of the stomach, between the two layers of the lesser omentum; Paracardial outlying members of the gastric lymph nodes, disposed in a manner comparable to a chain of beads around the neck of the stomach.
The angular incisure (or angular notch) is a small notch on the stomach. It is located on the lesser curvature of the stomach near the pyloric end. Its location varies depending on how distended the stomach is. [1] The angular incisure is used as a separation point between the right and left portions of the stomach, the body and the pylorus. [2]

The left gastric vein runs from right to left along the lesser curvature of the stomach. [2] It passes to the esophageal opening of the stomach, where it receives some esophageal veins. [2] It then turns backward and passes from left to right behind the omental bursa. It drains into the portal vein near the superior border of the pancreas. [2]
In human anatomy, the left gastric artery arises from the celiac artery and runs along [1] the superior portion of [citation needed] the lesser curvature of the stomach before anastomosing with the right gastric artery (which runs right to left [citation needed]).
Lesser curvature 6. Cardia 9. Pyloric sphincter 10. Pyloric antrum 11. Pyloric canal 12. Angular incisure 13. Gastric canal 14. Rugal folds. The pylorus is the furthest part of the stomach that connects to the duodenum. It is divided into two parts, the antrum, which connects to the body of the stomach, and the pyloric canal, which connects to ...
The right gastric vein passes right along the lesser curvature of the stomach to the pylorus. [1] [2] Once there, it joins onto the portal vein before the duodenum.[1] [2] The prepyloric vein is the last connecting branch onto the right gastric vein, marking the end of the stomach, and draining the proximal part of the duodenum.
