Answers
Answer:
There are four central regions in the stomach: the cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus.
Explanation:
The cardia (or cardiac part or cardiac) is the point where the esophagus connects to the stomach and through which food passes into the stomach. Located inferior to the diaphragm, above and to the left of the cardia, is the dome-shaped fundus.
Below the fundus is the body, the central part of the stomach. The funnel-shaped pylorus connects the stomach to the duodenum. The broader end of the funnel, the pyloric antrum, links to the body of the stomach. The narrower end is called the pyloric canal, which connects to the duodenum. The smooth muscle pyloric sphincter is located at this latter point of connection and controls stomach emptying.
