The Body of the Stomach (Lat. corpus gastricum) often just called the body or corpus is an anatomical region of the stomach in humans. The boundaries of the body of the stomach are shown in the diagram to the right, with the dotted line stemming from the cardiac notch separating the body from the fundus, while the lower boundary is defined by a line perpendicular to the lesser curvature of the stomach from the angular notch. The line drawn from the angular notch thus divides the body of the stomach to yield an antrum section, which goes on to drain into the duodenum via the pyloric sphincter.
