The curvatures of the stomach are the long, convex, lateral surface, and the shorter, concave, medial surface of the stomach, which are referred to as the greater and lesser curvatures, respectively.

2023年12月11日 · The term “lesser curvature” refers to the shorter, curved, and concave right-sided border of the stomach. The lesser curvature extends between the esophagogastric junction superiorly and the pylorus inferiorly.

2025年2月4日 · Lesser curvature – forms the shorter, concave, medial surface of the stomach. The most inferior part of the lesser curvature, the angular notch, indicates the junction of the body and pyloric region.

2023年9月11日 · The longer and convex curvature located on the left of the stomach is called the greater curvature, this starts from the cardiac notch that is formed between the esophageal border and fundus. In contrast, the shorter concave curvature found to the right is the lesser curvature.

The lesser curvature of stomach extending between the cardiac and pyloric orifices, forms the right or posterior border of the stomach.

2024年12月31日 · The stomach’s medial and lateral edges are shaped into two distinct curves: the lesser curvature and the greater curvature. Greater Curvature: This longer, outward curve defines the stomach’s lateral edge.

2024年10月4日 · pylorus (antrum): the lower section of the stomach that facilitates emptying into the small intestine, located on the right of the midline at the level of L1. The lesser curvature forms the shorter concave border and the greater curvature forms …

The stomach is held in place by the lesser omentum, which extends from the liver to the lesser curvature, and the greater omentum, which runs from the greater curvature to the posterior abdominal wall.

2016年3月2日 · The medial and lateral curvatures of the stomach are known as the lesser and greater curvatures, respectively. The cardia connects the oesophagus to the stomach and lies close to the heart and left hemidiaphragm.

2019年5月9日 · The right side of the stomach is called the greater curvature and the left the lesser curvature. The most distal and narrow section of the stomach is termed the pylorus—as food is liquefied in the stomach it passes through the pyloric canal into the small intestine.
