Gastric lymph nodes

The gastric lymph nodes ( lymphonodi gastrici ) are attached to the lesser curvature of the stomach situated lymph nodes in mammals . They are a filter station for the lymph of the stomach, in domestic animals also the liver , the duodenum and the end section of the esophagus . In horses and pigs , they also receive inflows from the lungs and mediastinum through the diaphragm .

Comparatively anatomically, the gastric lymph nodes belong to the abdominal cavity lymph center ( Lymphocentrum celiacum ). In humans, a distinction is made between left and right gastric lymph nodes ( Lymphonodi gastrici sinistri and dextri ). In ruminants, a distinction is made between right rumen lymph nodes ( Lymphonodi ruminales dextri ), which are located in the right longitudinal furrow , left rumen lymph nodes ( Lymphonodi ruminales sinistri ) in the left longitudinal furrow, anterior rumen lymph nodes (celiacal sulcus, anterior rumen lymph nodes ), Lymphonodi romanes the right-top of the reticulum are, omasum lymph nodes ( lymphonodi omasiales ) on the artery gastric artery above the omasum , ruminal abomasal lymph nodes ( lymphonodi ruminoabomasiales ) at the contact surface of the rumen and abomasum , reticulum-Labmagenlymphknoten ( lymphonodi reticuloabomasiales ) at the contact surfaces of the four stomach departments as well as the upper and lower abomasum lymph nodes ( Lymphonodi abomasiales dorsales and ventrales ) on the small curve of the abomasum.

The drainage occurs mainly via the abdominal cavity lymph nodes ( Lymphonodi celiaci ) and then via a short lymph collecting trunk (depending on the species, the visceral trunk , celiac trunk or gastric trunk ) into the lumbar cistern .
