A plane passing through the incisura angularis on the lesser curvature and the upper limit of the opposed dilatation on the greater curvature divides the stomach into an upper portion or body and a lower or pyloric portion. Rugae is a term used in Anatomy that refers to a series of ridges produced by folding of the wall of an organ. Latin ( lingua Latīna, laˈtiːna is an Italic language, historically spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome. Gray's Anatomy the Respiratory apparatus ( Apparatus Respiratorius Respiratory system Respiratory apparatus Elsevier, the world's largest Publisher of Medical and Scientific literature, forms part of the Reed Elsevier group The lesser curvature of the stomach, extending between the Cardiac and Pyloric orifices forms the right or posterior border of the stomach The greater curvature of the stomach is directed mainly forward and is four or five times as long as the Lesser curvature. The lower portion of the body is known as the antrum, and is marked off from the remainder of the body by a plane passing horizontally through the cardiac orifice.
