title: [The muscles and blood supply of the stomach].
abstract: Using human gastric specimens, figures are presented for gastric muscle thickness and the myoarchitecture is described. The study shows that the blood supply to the cardia, gastric fundus and body is excellent, due to the many anastomosing arteries, but is less good at the curvatures of the gastric antrum and poor at the anterior and posterior walls of this area, due to absent or minute anastomoses.
