Vein Gastrocolic

Article:

The gastrocolic vein (the venous segment of the gastrorectal vein) belongs to the group of veins of the epigastric region: like other veins, they play an important role in our body by supplying blood to the abdominal organs. It is known that most of the blood flowing from the stomach enters the veins of the subhepatic segment of the hepatic vein. However, blood also comes from the entire stomach. Thanks to this system, the stomach is supplied with blood, which can nourish it throughout the entire digestion cycle and receive nutrients in return. Blood also flows from the gastric system into the inferior venous system, which is part of the larger epigastric circulation. However, not all veins make up this circulation: some veins of the stomach flow directly into the gastro-rectal vein. These veins are located at the level of the body of the greater curvature of the stomach and flow into it at approximately a depth of 5 to 8 cm. The gastric system supplies blood to the walls of the stomach under pressure, and in it the arterial blood is enriched with oxygen and other nutrients, mainly with the nutrient salt acid. The main causes of venous insufficiency: * physical activity or excessive activity, especially with repeated movements of the body; * unhealthy diet;
