Stomach in situ (English)

The stomach has a characteristic ‘J-shape’ created by two unequal curvatures: the longer, convex greater curvature (located on the left side) and the shorter, concave lesser curvature (on the right). Between the curvatures, the four main parts of the stomach are visible: cardia, fundus, body and the pyloric part. Anterior relations of the stomach are not fully visible in the illustration however they include the diaphragm, left lobe of the liver (retracted), and the anterior abdominal wall.
