How would you describe the stomach in detail?
the stomach is an enlarged segment of the GIT in the left upper portion of the abdomen. it has opening from the esophagus called cardiac sphincter because it is near the heart. the region of the stomach around the cardiac opening is called the cardiac region. the most superior portion of the stomach is called the fundus. the largest portion of the stomach is the body. the opening from the stomach into the small intestine is the pyloric opening. this region is called the pyloric region. the muscular tunic consists of three layers: an outer longitudinal layer, middle circular layer and inner oblique layer. the submucosa and mucosa of the stomach are thrown into rugae when the stomach is empty. this allows the stomach to stretch as the stomach is filled. the stomach also contains different glands: mucous neck cells - produce mucus; parietal cells - produce HCl and intrinsic factor; endocrine cells - produce regulatory hormones; chief cells - produce pepsinogen the stomach functions primarily as a storage and mixing chamber for ingested food. as food enters the stomach, it is mixed with stomach secretions to form chyme. -->thoughtfulobserver :-)
