👉 The term "furculum" is a Latin word that refers to the part of the human body where the muscles are located, and it is also used in anatomy to describe the structure of the gastrointestinal tract. The furculum is a group of large muscle fibers that run along the bottom of the stomach, forming a series of folds or grooves at the base of the esophagus. These folds help to facilitate the movement of food through the digestive process and allow for proper digestion.
