Figure 5

(A) The stomach is divided generally into five anatomic/histologic sections: Cardia, Fundus, Body, Antrum and Pylorus. Ghrelin is produced by the X/A cells which exist predominately in the fundus (green shading). (B) The vascular supply to the fundus is primarily from the Left Gastric Artery.
