Cardia
The cardia of the stomach is the opening forming the junction between the oesophagus and the stomach.
Function of the cardia
The cardia forms a fold which acts as a functional sphincter, preventing foods rising back from the stomach into the oesophagus. Malfunction of the cardia occasionally causes gastro-oesophageal reflux problems.
