*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.

*Supported by 4 folds of peritoneum

**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

**Gastrosplenic ligament- connecting the greater curvature of the stomach to the spleen by a double fold of peritoneum
