The stomach is located in the upper part of the abdominal cavity in the human body, mainly in the left upper abdomen. The upper entrance is connected to the lower end of the esophagus and is called the cardia; the lower exit moves into the duodenum and is called the pylorus. The entire stomach is a large sac-like organ, which is divided into the lesser curvature of the stomach, the greater curvature of the stomach, the anterior gastric wall close to the abdominal wall, and the corresponding posterior gastric wall.

Extended information

Stomach Morphological structure

The shape of the stomach is related to the body shape of the animal: fish, tailed amphibians and snakes have a spindle-shaped stomach because of their long and slender bodies; mammals have a short and thick body and a spindle-shaped stomach. The bag is curved and lies horizontally in the abdominal cavity.

In addition, the shape and structure of the stomach can also change due to the need to store food, the nature of the food, and the frequency of food intake. In primates, most carnivores, and many insectivores, the stomach is often a single-chamber organ. The front end connected to the esophagus is called the cardia, and the back end connected to the duodenum is called the pylorus.

Explanation of Chinese characters

Wei wèi means knowing. The word Congtian Congrou (the month is actually written in ancient times as Rou). "Tian" refers to "the soil that bears the grain". "Meat" means "flesh" and "flesh". The combination of "field" and "flesh" means "the soil in the flesh that bears the grain."

Original meaning: farmland in the human body. Explanation: The stomach is also known as "tummy", which means "the soil in the body". Also known as "Taicang (Dacang, Tiancang)".

When Chinese characters were invented, China was already based on agriculture, and farmland became the core and essence of China’s land, the conceptual center of the land. If we compare ancient China with humans, then the only place in the human body where grains exist in their original form is the stomach, that is, the stomach is the "center of the land" in the human body.

Stomach disease prevention

1. Moderate drinking, do not overeat, and use with caution or do not use drugs that can easily damage the gastric mucosa. Acute simple gastritis should be treated in time to prevent recurrence after recovery, so as to avoid turning into chronic gastritis and delaying recovery.
