An illustration depicts a portion of the stomach herniating through the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm into the thoracic cavity, displacing the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) above the diaphragm. In hierarchical terms, the stomach is an organ within the gastrointestinal tract situated between the esophagus and duodenum. In anatomy and gastroenterology/pathology, this hiatal hernia compromises the antireflux barrier and predisposes to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The image shows the lower esophagus, diaphragmatic hiatus, and proximal stomach consistent with human anatomy.
