The fundus of the stomach reaches on the left side to a pointas high as the level of the sixth chondro-sternal articulation,and is directly in contact with the diaphragm (Fig. 49).

Tillaux pointsout that this cartilage has a distinct tip, that it is attached tothe ninth cartilage by a ligament some six or seven mm. inwidth, that it plays over the latter cartilage, and producesunder the finger a special crepitus (bruit).
