A specialised medical term used mainly in anatomy and gastroenterology. Often appears in phrases like 'cancer of the cardia' or 'cardia function'. Not to be confused with the adjective 'cardiac', which primarily relates to the heart — though 'cardia' and 'cardiac' share the same Greek root (kardia = heart).
