Fundus

Imagine your stomach as a welcoming balloon, ready to accommodate delicious meals. In normal digestion, the upper part of the stomach, called the fundus, relaxes and expands to embrace food, acting as a reservoir.

The Role of the Fundus:

• Reservoir for Food: The fundus allows you to eat at a normal pace without feeling uncomfortable fullness. It stores food temporarily before gradually releasing it into the lower part of the stomach for further digestion.
• Regulation of Gastric Pressure: The fundus's ability to expand and contract helps maintain optimal pressure within the stomach, ensuring efficient movement of food.
