Fundus

Fundus gastricus · Klenba žaludku

Digestive system

Looks like

The dome of the stomach, bulging up under the left diaphragm above where the gullet enters; it usually holds a bubble of air.

What it does

Relaxes to take in a meal and holds food before it moves on.

Keeping it well

It can slide up through the diaphragm as a hiatus hernia; smaller meals and not lying down straight after eating ease the reflux.
