++
++
++
The blood supply to the stomach
++
++
++
A. Typically includes direct branches from the celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery
++
++
B. Includes predominant supply of the greater curve of the stomach by the left gastric artery
++
++
C. Includes the right gastroepiploic artery, which is usually a branch of the splenic artery
++
++
D. May include a posterior gastric artery that is typically a branch of the splenic artery
++
++
E. Is anatomically separate from the blood supply to the spleen
+
++
D. May include a posterior gastric artery that is typically a branch of the splenic artery
++
++
++
The four functions of the stomach include all of these except
++
++
++
A. It mixes the food and controls delivery into the duodenum.
++
++
B. It is the site of the initial stage of protein and carbohydrate digestion.
++
++
C. It acts as a reservoir for food.
++
++
D. It is the site of the assembly of micelles for nutrient absorption.
++
++
E. A few substances are absorbed across the gastric mucosa.
+
++
D. It is the site of the assembly of micelles for nutrient absorption
++
++
++
Reconstruction of gastrointestinal continuity after resection of portions of the stomach
++
++
++
A. Usually includes a roux-en-Y reconstruction after distal gastrectomy
++
++
B. Cannot be done by Billroth I reconstruction after total gastrectomy
++
++
C. Includes a gastroduodenostomy for Billroth II reconstruction
++
++
D. Has a risk of duodenal stump leak after Billroth I reconstruction
++
++
E. May require conversion to a Billroth II reconstruction if a patient develops bile gastritis after a Billroth I approach
+
++
B. Cannot be done by Billroth I reconstruction after total gastrectomy
++
++
++
++
++
++
A. Can impair the appropriate relaxation of the pylorus
++
++
B. Has several variations, but each denervates the pylorus
++
++
C. Has become more widely applied as ulcer therapy since the introduction of acid-suppressing medications (H2-blockers and proton pump inhibitors)
++
++
D. Impairs gallbladder emptying
++
++
E. Can include division of both the left (posterior) and ...
