Which is the Most Superior Region of the Stomach

Question

Which is the most superior region of the stomach?
A) fundic region (or fundus)
B) cardiac region
C) body
D) pyloric region

Accepted Answer

The fundic region (or fundus) is the most superior region of the stomach because it is located above the cardiac notch and is the most expanded portion of the stomach. It is also the site where swallowed air tends to accumulate, making it the most air-filled region of the stomach. Therefore, it is considered the most superior region of the stomach.
