Stomach disorders, artwork
Stomach disorders. Artwork showing a normal stomach (left), acid reflux (centre) and a hiatus hernia (right). Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), also known as acid reflux, is an advanced form of heartburn. It occurs when the sphincter separating the stomach and the oesophagus (top) does not close properly and stomach acid leaks back into the oesophagus. A hiatus hernia is the protrusion of part of the stomach into the chest cavity through the hole, known as the hiatus, that the oesophagus passes through

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork beautifully captures the intricate details of stomach disorders, showcasing a comparison between a normal stomach, acid reflux, and a hiatus hernia. The left panel depicts a healthy organ, representing the optimal state of digestion and anatomy. In contrast, the central panel portrays acid reflux or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), an advanced form of heartburn that occurs when the sphincter between the stomach and oesophagus fails to close properly. This leads to stomach acid leaking back into the oesophagus. On the right side, we witness a hiatus hernia where part of the stomach protrudes into the chest cavity through an opening called hiatus. This condition can cause discomfort and disrupt proper digestive function. By visualizing these disorders in such vivid detail, this artwork serves as an invaluable educational tool for medical professionals and individuals seeking to understand these conditions better. The illustration not only highlights anatomical structures but also emphasizes how abnormalities in our digestive system can impact overall health. It underscores both biological complexity and potential issues that may arise within our bodies. With its blend of artistry and scientific accuracy, this print from Science Photo Library offers viewers insight into various gastrointestinal disorders while fostering appreciation for human biology's intricacies.
