The spleen is underneath the left part of the diaphragm, and has a smooth, convex surface that faces the diaphragm.It is underneath the ninth, tenth, and eleventh ribs. The other side of the spleen is divided by a ridge into two regions: an anterior gastric portion, and a posterior renal porti
The gastric mucosa is the mucous membrane layer of the stomach, which contains the gastric pits, to which the gastric glands empty. In humans, it is about one mm thick, and its surface is smooth, soft, and velvety. It consists of simple secretory columnar epithelium, an underlying supportive layer of loose connective tissue called the lamina ...
Branches of the celiac artery.(Lienal artery is an old term for splenic artery, and is visible at center.The spleen is at center right. The stomach has been flipped out to reveal the splenic artery, so the greater curvature is at the top in this diagram.)
The epigastrium is the part of the abdomen where abdominal thrusts (the Heimlich manoeuvre) are able to produce a rapid and forceful exhalation of breath. [citation needed] Palpation of the epigastrium can be used to feel the structures below it. [2] This includes the liver, and the stomach. [2] An aortic aneurysm may be felt as a mass in the ...
Traube's space. Surface lines of the front of the thorax and abdomen. (Traube's space not labeled, but is in the left hypochondriac region.) Traube's (semilunar) space is an anatomic space of some clinical importance. It is a crescent-shaped space, encompassed by the lower edge of the left lung, the anterior border of the spleen, the left ...
Horizontal disposition of the peritoneum in the upper part of the abdomen. (Gastrolienal ligament labeled at upper left.) The gastrosplenic ligament (also known as the ligamentum gastrosplenicum or gastrolienal ligament) is part of the greater omentum extending between the stomach and the spleen. It contains several blood vessels.
