The Stomach
Captions available
The idea
The stomach has four main regions: the cardia, the fundus, the body and the pylorus.
In practice
The cardia is where the esophagus enters; the pylorus ends at the pyloric sphincter, which opens into the small intestine.
Where people slip
The stomach is held in place by folds of peritoneum, the lesser and greater omentum, which carry vessels the surgeon must respect.
