Description: Blood supply of stomach: Date: 18 January 2008: Source: Essential Clinical Anatomy. K.L. Moore & A.M. Agur. Lippincott, 2 ed. 2002. Page 150
English: Colonic blood supply. 1 - transverse colon, 2 - ascending colon, 3 - caecum, 4 - right colic artery, 5 - appendix, 6 - middle colic artery, 7 - Cannon-Böhm point (the border between the areas of SMA and IMA supplies) , 8 - superior mesenteric artery, 9 - marginal artery, 10 - ileocolic artery, 11 - jejunum (partial), 12 - ileum (partial).
The blood pressure in the fetal aorta is approximately 30 mmHg at 20 weeks of gestation, and increases to ca 45 mmHg at 40 weeks of gestation. [16] The fetal pulse pressure is ca 20 mmHg at 20 weeks of gestation, increasing to ca 30 mmHg at 40 weeks of gestation. [16] The blood pressure decreases when passing through the placenta.
Schematic image of the blood supply to the human stomach: left and right gastric artery, left and right gastroepiploic artery and short gastric arteries [15] The lesser curvature of the human stomach is supplied by the right gastric artery inferiorly and the left gastric artery superiorly, which also supplies the cardiac region.
The human hepatic portal system delivers about three-fourths of the blood going to the liver.The final common pathway for transport of venous blood from spleen, pancreas, gallbladder and the abdominal portion of the gastrointestinal tract [2] (with the exception of the inferior part of the anal canal and sigmoid colon) is through the hepatic portal vein.
The rest comes from the partially deoxygenated blood from the portal vein. The liver consumes about 20% of the total body oxygen when at rest. That is why the total liver blood flow is quite high, at about 1 litre a minute and up to two litres a minute. That is on average one fourth of the average cardiac output at rest.
The right and left gastroepiploic arteries (also known as gastroomental) provide the sole blood supply to the greater omentum. Both are branches of the celiac trunk . The right gastroepiploic artery is a branch of the gastroduodenal artery , which is a branch of the common hepatic artery , which is a branch of the celiac trunk.
The greater curvature, which begins at the cardiac notch, and arches backwards, passing inferiorly to the left, [1] is four or five times longer than the lesser curvature, [2] which attaches to the hepatogastric ligament and is supplied by the left gastric artery and right gastric branch of the hepatic artery.
