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. [1]

Human anatomy is the scientific study of the morphology of the adult human. It is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy . Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy, regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by unaided vision.
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 ...
Origin. In most (53%) individuals, the RGA arises from the proper hepatic artery. It can also arise from the region of division of the common hepatic artery (20%), the left branch of the hepatic artery (15%), the gastroduodenal artery (8%), and - most rarely - the common hepatic artery itself (4%).
Gastric varices are dilated submucosal veins in the lining of the stomach, which can be a life-threatening cause of bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract. They are most commonly found in patients with portal hypertension , or elevated pressure in the portal vein system, which may be a complication of cirrhosis .
In human anatomy, the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) is a blood vessel that drains blood from the small intestine (jejunum and ileum). Behind the neck of the pancreas , the superior mesenteric vein combines with the splenic vein to form the portal vein that carries blood to the liver .
