The rest of the organpasses to the pylorus in the form of a collapsedtube. The pylorus is situated in the transpyloricplane, midway between the upper margin of themanubrium sterni and the upper margin of thesymphysis pubis in the middle line, or veryslightly to the right. The greater curvaturein the erect position reaches the level of theumbilicus or slightly above it. In the hori-zontal position the stomach lies more obliquely

The Half-filled Stomach.—When the stomach is partially filled by a standardbismuth meal, half a pint in volume, its body is almost uniform in diameter, andits axis corresponds in position with that of the empty organ. As the diameterof the fundus is rather greater than that of the body, a slight constriction marksthe separation between the two parts of the stomach. The diameter of the. Fig. of(Hertz.)
