What does CARDIA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
The upper opening of the stomach, where the gullet joins it.
In anatomy, the cardia is the ring-shaped region at the top of the stomach through which swallowed food passes. The name comes from the Greek word for heart, because the opening lies close to it. Doctors name it when describing reflux, hernias or tumours in that area. The word should not be confused with the many scientific terms that begin cardio-, which refer to the heart itself.
