•The stomach, stimulated by the vagus nerves is where proteindigestion begins. It is most dilated part of the alimentary tract,situated between the oesphagus and duodenum and lying in theepigastrium and left hypochondrium. It is roughly J-shaped, withthe upper opening at the level of the T9 vertebra and the lower opening at the pylorus or gastroduodenal junction to the right of the midline at the level of the L1 vertebra (transpyloric plane).The stomach has three parts: the fundus (the part above the levelof entry of the oesophagus), the body (main part), and the pyloric part (pyloric antrum, with the pyloric sphincter at the junction with the duodenum)
