[edit on Wikidata] Leukodystrophy is one of a group of disorders characterized by degeneration of the white matter in the brain. The word leukodystrophy comes from the Greek roots leuko, white, dys, lack of, and troph, growth.
The bottom part of the stomach is called the pyloric area. At the bottom of the stomach is another opening. This leads to the small intestine. One of the most important parts of the stomach (and generally of the digestive system) is the bacterial fauna that populates it.
The stomach lies between the esophagus and the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). It is in the left upper part of the abdominal cavity. The top of the stomach lies against the diaphragm. Lying behind the stomach is the pancreas. A large double fold of visceral peritoneum called the greater omentum hangs down from the greater curvature of the stomach.
