Spanish term

antro

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Instruments
Alguien me puede decir que significa 'antro' en este contexto. Se trata de un texto médico de español a inglés, más bien un informe de una gastrocopia. Mientras habla de los resultados del estómago, sale esta frase:

"Se toma test de ureasa de antro y cuerpo."

'Antro' es la única palabra que no puedo encontrar.

Antrum: A general term for a nearly closed cavity or chamber. For example, the antrum of the stomach (gastric antrum) is a portion before the outlet, which is lined by mucosa and does not produce acid. The paranasal sinuses can be referred to as the frontal antrum, ethmoid antrum, and maxillary antrum.
