Fundus of the stomach
glandular portion of stomach
the fundus of the stomach secretes
- acid
- pepsin
- some mucus
body of the stomach
- where food is mixed and starts to break
down - contains acid- & enyzme-secreting glands.
what is the largest portion of the stomach
the body
pylorus of stomach
contains 1’

Pyloric sphincter
controls

longitudinal fold of the stomach
What is prominant in the glandular body of the stomach mucosa?
gastric pits = foveolae

2
What is contained in the gastric juice?
secreted by the gastric gland
- HCl
- Pepsinogen
- Gatrin
- Lipase
Pepsinogen
- inactive percursor of pepsin
What converts pepsinogen to pepsin?
HCl (gastric acid)
What are the 5 cell types of the gastric epithelium?
- parietal cell
- cheif cells
- mucus secreting
- stem cell
- enteroendocrine cells
What are the 3 secretions of the gastric epithelium?
- hydrochloric acid
- proteolytic enzyme (mainly pepsin)
- Mucus (mainly neutral)
What are parietal cell also refered to as
- acid-producing
- oxyntic
How often do mucus secreting cell of the stomach renew themselves?
every 3- 7 days
Where are mucus secreting cells of the stomach found
located on surface
Surface mucus cells secrete
thick, insoluble mucus &
bicarbonate ions
Surface cells are
- tall columnar with basal nuclei
- clear cytoplasm
- Many mucin vacuoles
Mucus neck cells
- smaller & less regular in shape
- more compressed & distorted by adjacent cells
- basal nucleus
- small mucin vacuole
Mucus Neck Cells secrete
soluble mucus
Where are mucus neck cells of the stomach located?
in the upper third of the pit
