Blood from the Medial Border of the Stomach is Drained

Question

Blood from the medial border of the stomach is drained by the
A) celiac trunk.
B) gastric vein.
C) superior mesenteric vein.
D) inferior mesenteric vein.
E) inferior vena cava.

Accepted Answer

Blood from the medial border of the stomach is drained by the gastric vein. The celiac trunk supplies blood to the stomach, while the superior mesenteric vein and inferior mesenteric vein drain blood from the small intestine and colon respectively. The inferior vena cava receives deoxygenated blood from the lower body. However, none of these vessels drain blood specifically from the medial border of the stomach.
