Curvatures of the stomach:

  1. Lesser Curvature forms the right border of stomach, which extends from cardiac orifice to the pylorus. The lesser omentum is attached to lesser curvature and the liver. The lesser omentum forms the anterior boundary of the omental foramen and contains hepatic artery, portal vein and bile duct within its lower border.
  2. Greater Curvature extends from left of cardiac orifice, over dome of fundus, and along left border of stomach to the pylorus.The gastrosplenic ligament attaches to the upper part of the greater curvature and the greater omentum attaches to its lower part.

Which organs does the greater omentum attach?

The greater omentum attaches to the stomach and covers the intestines in the abdominal cavity. It plays a role in protecting and isolating organs in the abdomen against infection and injury.


What is the vessel that carries blood to the stomach?

There are three major arteries to the stomach all of which come eternaly from the Celiac Trunk from the aorta. The left gastric artery brached directly from the celiac trunk and supplies the left part of the lesser curvature area where the right gatric arterie supplies the right part of the lesser curvature and comes from common hepatic artery. The right gastro-omental which comes from the common hepatic artery and supplies the right part of the greater curvature. The left gastro-omental is a continuation of the splenic artery and supplies the left part of the greater curvature.


What is the term for an exaggerated lateral curvature?

The term for an exaggerated lateral curvature of the spine is scoliosis.


What is the radius of curvature of cornea of human eye?

The average radius of curvature of the cornea in a human eye is approximately 7.8 mm. This curvature plays a crucial role in focusing light onto the retina for clear vision. Changes in the radius of curvature can affect the eye's refractive power and lead to vision problems like nearsightedness or farsightedness.


Which anatomical plane does lordosis occur?

Lordosis is an exaggerated inward curvature of the lumbar spine, which primarily occurs in the sagittal plane. This means that when viewing the spine from the side, lordosis involves an increased concave curvature in the lumbar region.

Location and purpose of the greater and lesser omentum?

The greater omentum is located in the stomach. It is like an apron that extends from the greater curvature of the stomach to the transverse colon. Its purpose is for fat deposition, immune contribution, and infection and wound isolation. The lesser omentum, on the other hand, extends from the liver to the lesser curvature of the stomach. There is no known function of the lesser omentum.


What are the attachments of the greater omentum?

The attachments of the greater omentum are: # The Dorsal Abdominal Wall # The Greater Curvature of the Stomach

The greater omentum arises from what part of the stomach?

The greater omentum arises from the greater curvature of the stomach. It is a large apron-like structure made of fatty tissue that hangs down over the intestines.


What is space time curve?

Space time curve is like the layers of the Earth the atmosphere has a lesser curvature than the oceans, the ocean floors have a greater curvature than the oceans, the mantle has a greater curvature, the core has the greatest curvature.The greater the curvature of space,the slower time goes relative to the time passing,in a lesser space-time curvature.If one was to go into a greater curvature of space, you wouldn't notice a slower pace of time, but things may appear farther away,as it would take more of your time to get there.

Do you need greater or less curvature to see near object?

To see near objects clearly, you need greater curvature of the eye's lens. This increased curvature allows the lens to bend light rays more sharply, focusing them directly on the retina for close vision. In contrast, for distant objects, the lens flattens and has less curvature.


What is the greater curvature in the stomach?

The stomach, part of the gastrointestinal tract, is a digestive organ located between the esophagus and the duodenum. It has a 'J' shape, and features a lesser and greater curvature. The anterior and posterior surfaces are smoothly rounded with a peritoneal covering. The greater curvature forms the long, convex, lateral border of the stomach. Arising at the cardiac orifice, it arches backwards and passes inferiorly to the left. It curves to the right as it continues medially to reach the pyloric antrum (opening to the pylorus).
