The stomach is attached at the cardiac opening tothe gullet, and at this point it is further secured to the diaphragmby a ligament. A broad band of peritoneum (small omentum) attaches the lesser curva-ture to the under surfaceof the liver, and a similarperitoneal fold unites itshinder surface to thespleen. The pyloric end,like the cardiac opening, isto a great extent fixed inposition, but the greatercurvature is quite freelymovable.
