Stomach Anatomy: Parts, Relations, Normal Variations, and Functions
Anatomy, Normal Variations, and Relations of Stomach
The stomach is an enlarged reservoir of the proximal digestive tract, in which ingested food is soaked in gastric juice containing enzymes and hydrochloric acid and then released spasmodically into the duodenum by gastric peristalsis. The form and size of the stomach vary considerably, depending on the position of the body and the degree of filling.
