Does the stomach contain cardiac muscle?
Two smooth muscle valves, or sphincters, keep the contents of the stomach contained. They are the: Cardiac or esophageal sphincter that divides the tract above. Pyloric sphincter or pyloric orifice that divides the stomach from the small intestine.
What is the difference between the cardiac and pyloric stomachs?
The key difference between cardiac and pyloric sphincter is that cardiac sphincter is present at the upper portion of the stomach and closes off the top end of the stomach while pyloric sphincter is present at the lower end of the stomach and closes off the bottom of the stomach.
What is the function of cardiac stomach?
Regions of the stomach The cardia is the first part of the stomach below the esophagus. It contains the cardiac sphincter, which is a thin ring of muscle that helps to prevent stomach contents from going back up into the esophagus.
Where is the location of the cardia on the stomach?
The cardia (or cardiac region) is the point where the esophagus connects to the stomach and through which food passes into the stomach. Located inferior to the diaphragm, above and to the left of the cardia, is the dome-shaped fundus. Below the fundus is the body, the main part of the stomach.
What dome-shaped portion is the superior portion of the stomach?
It is comprised of 4 main regions, the cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus. The cardia is connected to the esophagus and is where the food first enters the stomach. The fundus follows the cardia and is a bulbous, dome-shaped, superior portion of the stomach.
What are the sections of the stomach?
Your stomach has five distinct sections:
- The cardia is the top part of your stomach.
- The fundus is a rounded section next to the cardia.
- The body (corpus) is the largest section of your stomach.
- The antrum lies below the body.
- The pylorus is the bottom part of your stomach.

What is the function of a cardiac stomach?
Where is the cardiac stomach found?
The cardia (or cardiac region) is the point where the esophagus connects to the stomach and through which food passes into the stomach. Located inferior to the diaphragm, above and to the left of the cardia, is the dome-shaped fundus.
What is the name of the most proximal portion of the stomach?
The stomach is a direct continuation of the esophagus and can be divided into different regions; the most proximal part is the cardia, followed by the fundus, corpus, antrum and pylorus.
