Fig. 2.—Longitudinal Section of Stomach and Pylorus. a, Opening of cardia ; b, pylorus ; c, commencement of duodenum ; d, pyloric or duodenal ' trap,' cardia and oesophagus in this condition. The cardiac and pyloric orifice of the stomach are not far apart; the pyloric is below the cardiac. A very singular and important arrangement of the pylorus and duodenum exists; dissection reveals that the duodenum, where it commences at the pylorus, is S-shaped and much dilated, forming an arrangement not at all unlike an S-trap used in drain-pipes (see Figs. 2 and 3). This direction of the duodenum appears to regulate the pace at which the ingesta should pass through; as soon as the trap is formed, the duodenum ascends towards the spine lying.
