Detailed explanation-1: -Structure. There are four main regions in the stomach: the cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus (Figure 23.4. 1). The cardia (or cardiac region) is the point where the esophagus connects to the stomach and through which food passes into the stomach.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cardia is the top part of your stomach. It contains the cardiac sphincter, which prevents food from traveling back up your esophagus. The fundus is a rounded section next to the cardia. It’s below your diaphragm (the dome-shaped muscle that helps you breathe).
Detailed explanation-3: -The four main sections of the stomach are the cardia, fundus, body, and pyloric part.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
