Taxonomic definition
Encyclopedic definition the musculomembranous expansion of the alimentary tract between the esophagus and the duodenum. The proximal portion is the cardia; the portion above the entrance of the esophagus is the fundus; the distal portion is the pyloric part; and the body is between the fundus and the pyloric part. The upper concave surface or edge is the lesser curvature, and the lower convex edge is the greater curvature. The coats of the stomach are four: an outer, peritoneal, or serous coat; a muscular coat, made up of longitudinal, oblique, and circular fibers; a submucous coat; and the mucous coat or membrane forming the inner lining. Gastric glands, which are in the mucous coat, secrete gastric juice containing hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and various other digestive enzymes into the cavity of the stomach. Food mixed with this secretion forms a semifluid substance (chyme) suitable for further digestion by the intestine.
