LEARNER WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1
1.1 Briefly describe the anatomy of the stomach and the duodenum.

EXERCISE 2
2.1 The main arterial blood supply to the stomach originates in the
      _________________ axis.

2.2 List the major arteries and veins that carry blood to and from the
      stomach. 2.3 The nerve supply to the stomach is both ______________ and
      _________________. 2.4 Briefly describe the nerve supply to the stomach. 2.5 The glands of the stomach are of two main types: ____________ and
      _____________. 2.6 Briefly discuss how the two types of glands differ.

EXERCISE 3
3.1 The stomach has three major functions: ___________, ___________
      and ____________.

3.2 Briefly describe each function.
3.3 What are the factors that determine gastric motility and emptying?
3.4 What are the six most important substances found in gastric juice?
