Gavarova muscle

The Gavarov muscle, also known as the oblique fibers of the stomach, is one of the main muscles responsible for the movement and digestion of food in the stomach. This muscle is located in the wall of the stomach and consists of special fibers that are located at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the stomach.

The name "Gavarov's muscle" was given in honor of the Russian anatomist and surgeon Nikolai Ivanovich Gavarov, who was the first to describe its structure and function in the mid-19th century.

Gastric oblique fibers play an important role in the process of food digestion. They control the movement of stomach contents by contracting and relaxing at specific times to move food along the stomach and mix it with gastric juices. This allows food to be efficiently digested and nutrients released.

In addition, the Gavarov muscle plays an important role in protecting the stomach from damage. It helps prevent the development of ulcers and other stomach diseases by protecting its walls from excessive pressure and friction.

Although the Gavarov muscle is important for stomach health, its functioning can be impaired due to various factors such as stress, poor diet and other diseases. In such cases, treatment may be required to restore
