lamina propria
loose connective tissue in the tunica mucosa
rugae
folds present inside the stomach
meissner’s plexuses
bed of nerves that controls mucous secretions
myenteric or auerbacchs plexus
bed of nerves that control peristalsis in the tunica muscularis
3 types of glandular regions in the stomach
fundic, cardiac, pylorus
cardiac glands
very small area, mucous secreting glands
fundic glands
inbetween cardiac and pyloric gland regions containing fundic glands
pyloric glands
secretes 2 types of mucus and the hormone gastrin
4 types of cells in pits in the stomach wall
-mucous cells (mucin producing)
-parietal (HCl)
-Cheif (protein secreting)
-endocrine (G cells secreting gastrin)
