Abstract		General facts of clinical importance for gross anatomy and topography of the stomach are described. The stomach is the most dilated part of the alimentary canal. Oesophagus opens into the stomach through ostium cardiacum and through pylorus continues into duodenum. Stomach is supramesocoloic organ, coated with peritoneum. It lies in left hypohoondriac area and minor part in epigastric and umbilical areas of the anterior abdominal wall. Arterial supply receives from arteries arising directly or indirectly from celiac artery. Gastric veins empty into the portal vein system. Lymph vessels drain into four main groups of lymph nodes, which drain into the celiac limph nodes. Innervation of the organ is by autonomic nervous system. The symphathetic postganglionic supply is mainly from the coeliac plexus through its extensions around the arteries. The parasymphatic supply provides vagus forming plexus on the anterior and posterior stomach walls.
