Greater curvature lateral convex and Lesser curvature Medial side smaller curvature
J shaped
Cardia
Notch attached to Heart
Fundus
storage location
Largest and most important part in The stomach
The body
Each pyloric
Pyloric antrum, pyloric canal, pyloric sphincter
Cardiac Sphincter
closest to heart. It closes the sphincter so no flexus flows back in esophagus
GERD

top part of stomach poke through diaphragm
Gastric folds of mucosa (rugae)
Longitudinal folds to allow stretching
3 layers of muscle
Circular layer, oblique layer, longitudinal layer they all contract automatically

mixer, reservoir, creates chyme, secretes gastric juice, some absorption in small intestine
Gastric pits
Colombes of simple columnar cells
Gastric glands –> secrete gastrin activates 3,4 cells
