Human anatomy, including structure and development and practical considerations . all which con-veys the coronary artery to theright of the cardiac opening. Thislast fold is important in relation tothe topography of the peritoneum,but not to the stomach.

With the exception of this triangle, and of the trifling interval betweenthe lines of attachment of the omenta, the whole organ is invested by peritoneum. Position and Relations.—The cardiac opening is opposite the tenth thoracicvertebra and not far from the level of, but from 8-10 cm. (3-4 in.) behind, the sixthleft costal cartilage, about 12 mm. (^^/^ in.) to the left of the median line. Thelesser curvature descends \ertically in an antero-posterior plane, parallel to the leftborder of the ensiform, but slanting strongly forward, until it suddenly turns to the.

The pyloric orifice isaffected to such an extent by chanjjjes incident to variaticjns in distention that itis manifestly impossible definitely to fix the position of the lower end of the pylorus is usually separated from the anterior abdominal wall by the over-lapping liver, when the stomach is empty lying near the mid-line.
