| pubmed-article:1412437 | pubmed:abstractText | An unimpaired vascular circulation is vital for gastric function. The arteries of the stomach originate from the coeliac artery; the veins lead to the portal vein. Arteries in the right half of the organ form a perigastric circle of anastomosing vessels, which is lacking on the left side. The basal capillary network of the gastric submucosa shows no important regional differences. Territories of vascularisation are documented for the canine stomach. | lld:pubmed |
