What is antral erosions of the stomach?
Antral erosions of the stomach refer to erosions or ulcers that specifically occur in the antrum, which is the lower part of the stomach near the pylorus. These erosions can be caused by factors such as infection with H. pylori bacteria, excessive use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), alcohol consumption, stress, or smoking. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, or vomiting. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause and medications like proton pump inhibitors to reduce stomach acid.
Granularity erythema and erosions in the antrum are symptoms of what inflammatory bowel disease?
Probs not IBD but more peptic ulceration
What is the name of the first portion of the small bowel that connects to the stomach?
The Pylorus (the valve between the stomach and duodenum is the pyloric valve)
Narrowed region of the stomach before the small intestine?
pyloric part ( pyloric antrum and pyloric sphincter)
Name of the valve between the esophagus and the stomach?
The stomach and first part of the small intestine (duodenum) is connected by pylorus which has 2 parts. The on the stomach opening is called pyloric antrum and the opening in the duodenum is the pyloric canal type.
An ovarian follicle that has multiple layers of granulose cells that surround the oocyte and has fluid-filled vesicles but no antrum is called an?
secondary follicle
What does pylorus is patent mean?
The pylorus controls the flow between a reservoir dedicated to mechanical and chemical digestion (the stomach) and a conduit dedicated to the absorption of nutrients (the intestines). The pylorus adjusts gastric outflow resistance to physiological needs. It allows the outflow of isotonic fluids yet selectively retains particles too large for delivery to the intestines and in concert with the antrum further processes them (gastric sieving). Unlike most gut sphincters, the pylorus, at least of man, maintains a patent (open) lumen (central cavity of a tube) most of the time. It only intermittently becomes a tightly closed barrier that arrests all flow out of and into the stomach. The geometry of the pylorus changes dramatically from the relaxed open state to closure. Pyloric closure involves contraction of its proximal and distal muscle loops, and occlusion of its lumen by mucosal folds. Current studies that combine pressure recordings with imaging by magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound and fluid-mechanical analysis shed new light on the role of the pylorus in gastric emptying and digestion. Much has been learned in recent years on the innervation of the normal pylorus particularly from studies on infantile hypertrophic stenosis, and attempts are being made to treat gastroparesis by interventions on the pylorus.
What is antrum gastric?
An antrum is a bodily cavity, especially one which has bony walls, including those in the sinuses.
What is antral ulcer?
Antral is related to the the antrum of the stomach. So an Antral Ulcelr is an ulcer in the antrum portion of the stomach.
What is a antral ulcer?

What is the medical term meaning surgical removal of an antrum?
Antrectomy is the medical term meaning surgical removal of the antrum. The antrum is the last part of the stomach. The procedure we think of as gastric bypass is an antrectomy with reconstruction.
What is patchy erythema of the mucosa was noted in the antrum?
Edema and erytherma in the antrum is a condition where the area is swollen and possibly congested. This condition is consistent with acute gastritis.
