Above the region a1 which these waves originate—that is, the eardiac half of the body of the stomach and all of thefundus- there are no waves, but as digestion proceeds the walls slowlyand steadily contract on the mass of food. This so-called cardiac pouchdoes not, however, diminish in size so rapidly as the part of the body ofthe stomach over which the peristaltic waves are passing. The circularfibers of the walls o
