The stomach is a dilated portion of the alimentary canal lying in the upper abdomen just under the diaphragm. It is a retaining and mixing reservoir in which the process of digestion begins.
The circular muscle layer is thickened at the pyloric and cardiac orifices to form sphincters. The glands of the fundus and body are most important in the secretion of gastric juice. They are formed mainly of chief and parietal cells.
The small intestine is a thin-walled muscular tube about 7 meters long. Its three portions are: duodenum, jejunum and ileum.
The bile and pancreatic ducts empty into the duodenum. Special structural features of the small intestine are the villi and the circular folds. The intestinal glands or crypts of Lieberkuhn secrete the intestinal juice containing the digestive enzymes.
The large intestine is about 1.5 meters long and is divided into caecum, colon and rectum. Special structural features of the large intestine are teniae coli, haustra, semilunar folds and epiploic appendages.
The large salivary glands consist of the parotid, the submaxillary and the sublingual. Ducts from the three pairs of glands open into the mouth.
The liver is the largest gland in the body. It is directly beneath the diaphragm on the right side of the abdomen. The liver cells are arranged in architectural units, called lobules.
The bile capillaries and sinusoids lie between chains of liver cells in the lobule. Branches of the portal vein, bile duct and hepatic arteries encircle the periphery of the lobule.
The liver secretes bile and has many other important functions such as stimulation of red bone marrow, production of fibrinogen, glycogenetic function and urea synthesis.
The gallbladder is a pear-shaped hollow sac attached to the under surface of the liver. It concentrates the bile.
The pancreas is a long slender organ with its head to the right in the loop of the duodenum, its body posterior to the stomach and its tail touching the spleen on the left.
The pancreas forms an external secretion important in digestion and an internal secretion, insulin, concerned with carbohydrate metabolism.

Abdomen
Abdomen is the lower part of the trunk. Above, and separated from it by the diaphragm or midriff, lies the thorax or chest, and below lies the pelvis, or basin, generally described as a separate cavity though directly continuous with that of the abdomen. Behind lie the spinal column and lower ribs which come within a few inches of the iliac or haunch bones; at the sides the protection afforded to the contained organs by the iliac bones and down sloping ribs is still more effective; but in front the whole extent is protected only by soft tissues. The latter consist of the skin, a varying amount of fat, three layers of broad, flat muscle, another layer of fat, and finally the smooth thin peritoneum which lines the whole cavity. The absence of rigidity allows of the necessary distension when food is taken into the stomach, and of the various important movements of the organs associated with digestion.
The principal contents of the abdominal cavity are digestive organs, i. e., stomach, intestines, and the associated glands, the liver and pancreas. The position of the stomach is above and to the left, of the liver above and to the right, both lying to a large extent under cover of the ribs, and occupying the hollow of the diaphragm, by which alone they are separated from the lungs and heart.
Against the back wall on either side lie the kidneys, protected also to a great extent by the last two ribs; and from the kidneys run the ureters or urinary ducts down along the back wall to the bladder in the pelvis. The pancreas lies across the spine in front of the kidneys, and upon the upper end of each kidney lies a suprarenal body. High up to the left and partly behind the stomach lies the spleen.
The great blood-vessels and nerves, the absorbent vessels and the glands connected with them, lie on the back wall, and the remainder of the space is taken up by the intestines or bowels, the large intestine lying in the flanks on either side in front of the kidneys and crossing below the stomach from right to left, while the small intestine hangs from the back wall in coils which fill up all spaces between the other organs. Hanging down from the stomach in front of the bowels is the omentum, or apron, containing a considerable amount of fat, and helping to protect the bowels from cold and injury.

Stomach.
The stomach is a dilated portion of the alimentary canal, which in man has a shape somewhat resembling that of a pear. The larger end, known as the «fundus», lies in the hollow of the left side of the diaphragm. The upper part of the stomach, into which the gullet opens, is known as the cardiac part, while the lower and narrower portion is known as the pyloric part. The two openings into and out of the stomach are known as the cardia and the pylorus. The stomach is slightly flattened from before backwards, and the two edges are known as the lesser curvature, which runs from one opening to the other direct, and the greater curvature, which sweeps round the fundus from the cardia to the pylorus.
The stomach hangs very freely suspended in the upper and left part of the abdomen, so that changes in its position and shape take place readily according to the amount of food it contains.
The stomach possesses four coats similar to those of the intestine, which are, from within outwards, a mucous membrane, sub-mucous layer, muscular coat, and peritoneal coat. Mucous membrane lines the interior of the stomach and is of smooth, soft texture, though raised up into ridges when the stomach is empty. The surface can be seen with the naked eye to be thickly covered by minute pits into each of which several tube-shaped glands are found, on microscopic section, to open. The surface of the mucous membrane is composed of a single layer of columnar cells, and these also line the pits referred to above. Each gland is composed of large cubical cells so arranged as to form a tube, open at the upper end where it meets the pit, and closed beneath. These cells secrete the gastric juice which exudes from all the minute tubes as digestion is proceeding. Between the tubular glands lies some supporting connective tissue in which run numerous blood-capillaries and lymph-vessels.
Submucous coat is a loose connective tissue layer which joins the mucous coat to the muscular coat, and in which the large blood vessels of the stomach run. The loose
59
arrangement of its fibres allows the mucous membrane to glide freely over the muscular coat in the movements and variations in size of the stomach.
Muscular coat is of considerable thickness in the stomach, and is of great importance in varying the size of the organ according to the amount of food it contains, in making the peristaltic movements which mix the food with the digestive juice, and finally in expelling the softened food from the stomach into the small intestine. This coat consists of three layers, an outer one which the fibres run lengthwise, a middle one where they are circular, and an inner layer in which they run obliquely across the stomach.
Peritoneal coat is similar to the peritoneum covering the other organs of the abdomen.
The stomach is abundantly supplied with blood from the coeliac axis, a short, wide artery which comes directly from the aorta and likewise gives branches to the liver, pancreas and spleen. There is a large arterial arch round either curvature, and from these two arches smaller branches run into the wall of the stomach and reach the submucous coat, from which minute branches are distributed to the other coats.
The blood is collected by veins which ultimately return it to the portal vein.
The stomach is very richly supplied with nerves both from the nervus vagus and from nervus sympathicus. The tenth cranial nerve (vagus) of each side has a long course down the side of the gullet, and after giving branches to the larynx, heart, lungs, and other organs, terminates in the stomach. Other branches come from the solar plexus of the nervus sympathicus. These nerves form a plexus in the submucous coat and another in the muscular coat, which undoubtedly exert an influence over the secretions and movements of the organ.
