Size of the stomach

~ Anantharam Vanchiprakash

#dailylearning

Whenever we say our stomach is big, or we have stomach pain we hold the middle of our abdominal area. But the stomach isn’t there really. Its to the left behind the end of the rib cage.

Key new learning’s

  1. Stomach is way above where I thought it was
  2. The place where we hold saying the stomach is actually the small intestine
  3. The food pipe or Esophagus bends a little to the left to reach the stomach.
  4. The stomach is closer to the heart than we think it is.
  5. The capacity of the stomach is on an average 1 litre. That’s all. It can expand however.
  6. It will stay expanded if we over eat on a daily basis.

Where did I learn this from?

  1. “Institute of Human Anatomy” is an awesome channel!
    After seeing their videos I have started feeling more connected to my body and understood who and what are they actually. Anyway its always good to know about Human Anatomy, it never fails to surprise you.
