splanchnology
Chapter 4 Introduction
1. The concept and function
Splanchnology is a subject that studies the shape,
structure and position of the organs of viscera.
Viscera includes alimentary system, respiratory system,
urinary system and genital system.
funtion: The main functions of the viscera are to fulfil
the metabolism and maintain the life of species.
The main functions of alimentary system are to ingest
the food, to secrete enzymes, to absorb the products of the
digestive action, and to eliminate the unused residues.
The respiratory system is to carry out the gas exchanges -- supply of oxygen for living cells and remove of carbon
dioxide resulting from cell metabolism.
The primary function of urinary system is to keep the
body in homeostasis by removing and restoring selected
amount of water and solutes, excreting the various wastes.
The functions of genital system are to produce germ
cells (ovum and sperm) and to secrete some hormones.

4）The relation of stomach
The anterior surface:
The L part is contact with diaphragm
The R part is relation with the left
and quadrate lobes of live and the
anterior abdominal wall.
The posterior surface:
It is relation with the spleen, the
diaphragm, the left suprarenal gland,
the upper part of the left kidney, the
splenic blood vessels, the pancreas,
the left colic flexure, the transverse
colon and its mesocolon. These
structures form the stomach bed.
5）the musculature and inner
surface of stomach
The musculature:
The wall of stomach has three layer
muscle. The outer is longitudinal,
the middle circular, the inner
lesser curvature
oblique and incomplete. At the
angular incisure
pylorus, the middle circular muscle
thicken and form a muscular ring --- pylorus
the pyloric sphincter. It can control
the pylorus open and close.
The inner surface:
When the stomach is empty, the
mucosa form many ridges and rugae.
But the mucosa of pyloric part is
smooth. Gastric neoplasm and
ulcers, the mucous pattern will be
changed and become radiological.
