APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -An anastomosis is a surgical connection between two structures. It usually means a connection that is created between tubular structures, such as blood vessels or loops of intestine. For example, when part of an intestine is surgically removed, the two remaining ends are sewn or stapled together (anastomosed).

Detailed explanation-2: -Rich arterial anastomoses are present along the greater and lesser curvatures. The left and right gastric arteries (Fig. 4.23) anastomose along the lesser curvature, the right and left gastroepiploic arteries and the short gastric arteries along the greater curvature of the stomach.
