Greater curvature of stomach

The greater curvature of the stomach in domestic animals, as in humans, refers to the longer, convex border of the stomach. It extends from the esophageal opening (cardia) to the pyloric region. This curvature is located on the left side of the stomach and is opposite the lesser curvature, which is the shorter, concave border. The greater curvature provides attachment for the greater omentum, a significant peritoneal fold that drapes over the intestines.

In terms of vascular supply, the greater curvature is primarily supplied by the left and right gastroepiploic arteries, which are branches of the splenic and gastroduodenal arteries, respectively.
