<P> In humans , the stomach lies between the oesophagus 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 . Two sphincters keep the contents of the stomach contained ; the lower oesophageal sphincter ( found in the cardiac region ) , at the junction of the oesophagus and stomach , and the pyloric sphincter at the junction of the stomach with the duodenum . </P>
