Anatomy and Functions of the Stomach

The stomach is a J-shaped organ located in the upper abdomen between the esophagus and the small intestine. It has two openings - the cardiac orifice where it connects to the esophagus and the pyloric opening where it connects to the small intestine. The stomach acts as a reservoir for food and uses gastric juices to break food down into smaller particles for digestion.
