Angular incisure

Incisura angularis

Definition

Antoine Micheau

The angular incisure of the stomach in domestic animals refers to a notch or indentation located on the lesser curvature of the stomach.

This anatomical feature is significant as it marks the transition between the body and the antrum of the stomach.

Changes in the position and angulation of the angular incisure occur during gastric contractions, affecting the distribution of luminal contents between various gastric segments.
