Rarely, this is the only arterial blood supply to this part of the liver (replaced left hepatic artery), and inadvertent ligation may lead to clinically significant hepatic ischemia.

In fact, all epithelial cells of the stomach (except the endocrine cells) contain carbonic anhydrase and are capable of producing bicarbonate.In the cardia, the gastric glands are branched and secrete primarily mucus and bicarbonate, and little acid. In the fundus and body, the glands are more tubular, and the pits are deep. Parietal and chief cells are common in these glands (Fig. 26-9).

Acetyl-choline from intrinsic neurons binds to M3 muscarinic recep-tors on the parietal cell, which (like gastrin binding to CCK2 receptors) stimulates phospholipase C via a G-protein–linked mechanism leading to increased production of inositol trispho-sphate from membrane bound phospholipids. Inositol trisphos-phate stimulates the release of calcium from intracellular stores, which leads to activation of protein kinases and activation of H+/K+-ATPase.

Gastric accommodation refers to the proximal gastric relaxation associated with distention of the stomach.60 Accommodation is mediated through stretch recep-tors in the gastric wall and does not require esophageal or pha-ryngeal stimulation. Initially, as the meal enters the stomach, there is a drop in intragastric pressure mediated by nitric oxide. As the meal progresses, the intragastric pressure rises, parallel with the onset of satiety. Interestingly, satiety does not seem to be associated with any specific level of intragastric pressure. Obese patients have a delayed onset of satiety, so an obvious hypothesis to be tested is that a pharmacologic-induced increase in gastric tone leads to increased satiety and decreased food intake in this patient group.60 Because receptive relaxation and accommodation are mediated by afferent and efferent vagal fibers, they are significantly altered by truncal and highly selec-tive vagotomy.

For example, vagotomy abolishes phase II of the gastric MMC but has little influence on phase III that persists even in the autotransplanted stomach, totally devoid of extrinsic neural input. This suggests that phase III is regulated by intrin-sic nerves and/or hormones. Indeed, the initiation of phase III of the MMC in the distal stomach corresponds temporally to elevation in serum levels of motilin, a hormone produced in the duodenal mucosa. Resection of the duodenum abolishes dis-tal gastric phase III in dogs, and resection of the duodenum in humans (e.g., with pancreaticoduodenectomy, the Whipple pro-cedure) commonly results in early postoperative delayed gastric emptying.

The higher-amplitude, more major antral contractions are usually met with a closed pylorus, facilitating retropulsion and further grinding of food.Modulation of pyloric motor activity is complex. There is evidence for both inhibitory and excitatory vagal pathways. Some contractile vagal effects are mediated by opioid pathways because they are blocked by naloxone. Electrical stimulation of the duodenum causes the pylorus to contract, whereas electrical stimulation of the antrum causes pyloric relaxation. Nitric oxide is an important mediator of pyloric relaxation.
