Detailed explanation-1: -The fundus is the top, rounded area that lies to the left of the cardia. The body is the largest and main part of the stomach. This is where food is mixed and starts to break down. The antrum is the lower part of the stomach.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your empty stomach is about 12 inches long by 6 inches across at its widest point. As an adult, your stomach can expand to hold about 1 quart of food. When you stretch your stomach with a lot of food, it doesn’t stay that way or stretch out. It simply goes back to its previous size once it digests your food.
Detailed explanation-3: -The empty stomach is only about the size of your fist, but can stretch to hold as much as 4 liters of food and fluid, or more than 75 times its empty volume, and then return to its resting size when empty.
Detailed explanation-4: -The stomach is a ‘j’-shaped organ, with two openings-the oesophageal and the duodenal-and four regions-the cardia, fundus, body and pylorus.
