What separates stomach and esophagus?
The structure that separates the stomach and esophagus is called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This muscular ring is located at the junction of the esophagus and stomach and functions to prevent the backflow of gastric contents into the esophagus. When functioning properly, the LES opens to allow food to enter the stomach and closes to protect the esophagus from acidic stomach contents. Dysfunction of the LES can lead to conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
What does the Cardia do?

What stops stOmach contents coming back?
The primary mechanism that prevents stomach contents from coming back up is the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a ring of muscle located at the junction of the esophagus and stomach. This sphincter relaxes to allow food to enter the stomach but closes tightly afterward to prevent reflux. Additionally, the stomach is designed with a certain level of pressure that helps keep contents contained. Factors like a weakened LES or increased abdominal pressure can lead to reflux, causing stomach contents to come back up.
What is the cardiac section of the stomach?
The cardiac section is one of four sections of the stomach. It begins where the contents of the esophagus empty into the stomach.
