  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. Gastric mucosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_mucosa

    Several types of endocrine cells are found in the gastric glands. The pyloric glands contain gastrin -producing cells ( G cells ); this hormone stimulates acid production from the parietal cells. Enterochromaffin-like cells (ECLs), found in the oxyntic glands release histamine , which also is a powerful stimulant of the acid secretion.

  4. Gastric glands - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_glands

    The mucus produced here is less acidic than that produced by the mucous neck cells. Fundic glands found in the fundus and also in the body have another two cell types–gastric chief cells and parietal cells (oxyntic cells). Foveolar cells (surface mucous cells) are mucus-producing cells which cover the inside of the stomach, protecting it from ...

  5. 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.

  6. Gastric mucosal barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_mucosal_barrier

    Cells in the epithelium of the stomach are bound by tight junctions that repel harsh fluids that may injure the stomach lining. A special mucus covering, derived from mucus secreted by surface epithelial cells and Foveolar cells. This insoluble mucus forms a protective gel-like coating over the entire surface of the gastric mucosa. The mucus ...

  8. Atrophic gastritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrophic_gastritis

    Atrophic gastritis is a process of chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa of the stomach, leading to a loss of gastric glandular cells and their eventual replacement by intestinal and fibrous tissues.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastritis

    Gastritis is the inflammation of the lining of the stomach. [1] It may occur as a short episode or may be of a long duration. [1] There may be no symptoms but, when symptoms are present, the most common is upper abdominal pain (see dyspepsia). [1]
