  2. Foveolar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foveolar_cell

    Other mucus-secreting cells are the mucous neck cells in the necks of the gastric glands. [2]: 257 Surface mucous cells have large quantities of mucin granules in their apical (top) surface and project short microvilli into the lumen of the stomach. [2]: 257 Mucins are large glycoproteins that give the mucus its gel-like properties. [3]

  3. Mucus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucus

    Mucous cells of the stomach lining secrete mucus (pink) into the lumen. Mucus (/ ˈ m j uː k ə s /, MEW-kəs) is a slippery aqueous secretion produced by, and covering, mucous membranes. It is typically produced from cells found in mucous glands, although it may also originate from mixed glands, which contain both serous and mucous cells.

  4. Alkaline mucus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_mucus

    Alkaline mucus exists in the human eye, stomach, saliva, and cervix. [5] In the stomach, alkaline mucus is secreted by gastric glands in the gastric mucosa of the stomach wall. [6] Secretion of alkaline mucus is necessary to protect the mucous membrane of the stomach from acids released during digestion. [6]

  5. Gastric glands - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_glands

    These are mucous neck cells that produce a different kind of mucus. There are two types of gastric gland, the exocrine oxyntic gland, and the endocrine pyloric gland. The major type of gastric gland is the oxyntic gland that is present in the fundus and the body of the stomach making up about 80 per cent of the stomach area. These glands are ...

    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of progressive lung disease characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. [8] GOLD 2024 defined COPD as a heterogeneous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnea or shortness of breath, cough, sputum production or exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (bronchitis ...

  7. Gastric mucosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_mucosa

    In the pyloric region the glands are known as pyloric glands, and in the rest of the stomach they are called gastric glands. [1] Several types of endocrine cells are found in the gastric glands. The pyloric glands contain gastrin-producing cells ; this hormone stimulates acid production from the parietal cells.

  8. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-1_antitrypsin_deficiency

    With A1AT deficiency, neutrophil elastase can disrupt elastin and components of the alveolar wall of the lung that may lead to emphysema, and hypersecretion of mucus that can develop into chronic bronchitis. [15] Both conditions are the makeup of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). [16]

  9. Mucin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucin

    The result is a viscoelastic product of interwoven molecules which, combined with other secretions (e.g., from the airway epithelium and the submucosal glands in the respiratory system), is called mucus. [22] [23]
