E) body

Accepted Answer

The region of the stomach that is superior to the gastroesophageal junction is the fundus. The cardia is the region of the stomach that is immediately adjacent to the gastroesophageal junction, while the pylorus is the region that is adjacent to the small intestine. The greater curvature and body are other regions of the stomach, but they are not superior to the gastroesophageal junction.
