[edit on Wikidata] Leukodystrophy is one of a group of disorders characterized by degeneration of the white matter in the brain. The word leukodystrophy comes from the Greek roots leuko, white, dys, lack of, and troph, growth.
The bottom part of the stomach is called the pyloric area. At the bottom of the stomach is another opening. This leads to the small intestine. One of the most important parts of the stomach (and generally of the digestive system) is the bacterial fauna that populates it.
The gastric pits of the stomach open on to branching glands: pyloric glands in the antral part of the stomach; gastric or oxyntic (acid forming) glands in the fundus and body of the stomach. A schematic diagram of an oxcyntic gland is shown here (see also anatomy).
