*pH 0.9 to 1.5
*pH 0.9 to 1.5
*The larger part of the stomach lies to the left of the midline, under cover from the ribcage and in contact with the liver and diaphragm. The [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|oesophagus]] opens into it at the cardiac sphincter.
*The larger part of the stomach lies to the left of the midline, under cover from the ribcage and in contact with the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] and diaphragm. The [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|oesophagus]] opens into it at the cardiac sphincter.
*The smaller part of the stomach has thicker walls and passes to the right of the midline into the [[Duodenum - Anatomy & Physiology|duodenum]] at the pyloric sphincter.
*The smaller part of the stomach has thicker walls and passes to the right of the midline into the [[Duodenum - Anatomy & Physiology|duodenum]] at the pyloric sphincter.
*Supported by 4 folds of peritoneum
*Supported by 4 folds of peritoneum
**Gastrophrenic ligament- from the greater curvature of the stomach to the crura of the diaphragm
**Gastrophrenic ligament- from the greater curvature of the stomach to the crura of the diaphragm
**Lesser omentum- connecting the lesser curvature of the stomach and the initial segment of [[Duodenum - Anatomy & Physiology|duodenum]] to the liver in the region of the hepatic porta
**Lesser omentum- connecting the lesser curvature of the stomach and the initial segment of [[Duodenum - Anatomy & Physiology|duodenum]] to the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] in the region of the hepatic porta
**Gastrosplenic ligament- connecting the greater curvature of the stomach to the spleen by a double fold of peritoneum
**Gastrosplenic ligament- connecting the greater curvature of the stomach to the [[Spleen - Anatomy & Physiology|spleen]] by a double fold of peritoneum
**Greater omentum- connceting the greater curvature of the stomach to the [[Duodenum - Anatomy & Physiology|duodenum]] and dorsal body wall
