FUNCTIONAL DISTUKBANCES OF THE STOMACH 221 an indication of its muscular tone. The empty normal stomach lies inthe form of a collapsed tube, with its walls in contact, except in the fundus,which contains the so-called magenblase. {See Fig. 164.) A portion ofthe opaque meal is first seen in the upper part as a funnel-shaped shadow,which is quickly forced do\\^iwards, separating the walls, and finally reach-ing the sinus, and filling the pyloric canal.
