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.

An ulcer that goes all the way through the stomach lining is called a perforation and requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms include: abdominal pain; nausea, vomiting; inability to drink fluids
