General information The stomach serves as a temporary reservoir for the food taken in. This is also where the digestive process begins. Arterial supply The arterial supply of the stomach (vascular supply stomach) is comparatively complex. In anatomical terms, the stomach is divided into small curves (minor curvature) and large curves (major curvature), which are … Vascularization of the stomach
General information The kidneys are used to excrete fluids and detoxify the body. The adrenal glands are an important hormone producing (endocrine) organ in the body. Arterial supply The right or left kidney is supplied by the right or left renal artery (Arteria renalis dextra/sinistra). Venous drainage is provided by the right and left renal … Vascularization of the kidney
Synonyms in a broader sense Coronary arteries Angina pectoris General information When we speak of vascular supply (vascular supply of coronary arteries), we must first distinguish between arteries, veins and lymph vessels. While arteries carry the oxygen-rich blood to the respective target organ, the oxygen-poor blood is transported back to the heart via veins after … Vascularization of the heart
Vascularization of the heart The heart (Cor) is a hollow muscular organ that plays a central role in the vascular supply of the body (vascular supply heart). As a pump, it transports oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs (pulmo), where the blood is enriched with oxygen. The heart then pumps the oxygen-rich blood back into the … Vascularization of the heart | Vascularization of the heart
General information The diaphragm is the most important respiratory muscle and separates the chest from the abdomen. Arterial supply The arterial supply (vascular supply of the diaphragm) is complex and takes place via four different branches, which are strongly branching. These are firstly the upper diaphragmatic arteries (Arteriae phrenicae superiores), the diaphragmatic pericardial artery (Arteria … Vascular supply diaphragm
Vascularization of the rectum The rectum is used to store stool (continence) and for controlled excretion (defecation). The arterial supply of the rectum is provided by three arteries. The upper rectal artery (Arteria rectalis superior), which originates from the lower intestinal artery (Arteria mesenterica superior), supplies the upper part of the rectum. The middle rectal … Vascularization of the rectum | Vascularization of the intestine
Vascularization of the duodenum The duodenum follows the stomach in the digestive tract and serves for the further digestion of the food. The duodenum is supplied by two arteries, the upper pancreaticoduodenal artery (superior) and the lower pancreaticoduodenal artery (inferior). The venous outflow takes place via several pancreaticoduodenal veins into the portal vein system (vena … Vascularization of the intestine
General information The liver is the central metabolic organ of the body. Arterial supply It is supplied via the hepatic artery (Arteria hepatica propria), which originates from the truncus coeliacus. The right branch (ramus dexter) of the hepatic artery also supplies the gallbladder artery (Arteria cystica), which supplies the gallbladder of the same name (vascular … Vascularization of the liver
General information The lungs are used for breathing (ventilation) and ensure that oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is released. Anatomy of air conduction sections Arterial supply There are two types of vascular supply to the lungs (vascular supply to the lungs). Firstly, the oxygen-depleted blood from the heart reaches the lungs via the pulmonary … Vascular supply lung
