  2. Gastrointestinal wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_wall

    The intraperitoneal regions include most of the stomach, first part of the duodenum, all of the small intestine, caecum and appendix, transverse colon, sigmoid colon and rectum. In these sections of the gut there is clear boundary between the gut and the surrounding tissue. These parts of the tract have a mesentery.

  3. Foveolar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foveolar_cell

    Foveolar cells in the antrum of stomach. A skewed cross-section of the columns gives a false impression of being stratified epithelium. Foveolar cells line the surface of the stomach and the gastric pits. They constitute a simple columnar epithelium, as they form a single layer of cells and are taller than their width. Other mucus-secreting ...

  4. Pylorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pylorus

    Microscopic cross-section of the pylorus. Under microscopy, the pylorus contains numerous glands, including gastric pits, which constitute about half the depth of the pyloric mucosa. They consist of two or three short closed tubes opening into a common duct or mouth. These tubes are wavy, and are about one-half the length of the duct.

  5. Intestinal gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestinal_gland

    Colonic crypts (intestinal glands) within four tissue sections. In panel A, the bar shows 100 μm and allows an estimate of the frequency of crypts in the colonic epithelium. Panel B includes three crypts in cross-section, each with one segment deficient for CCOI expression and at least one crypt, on the right side, undergoing fission into two ...

  6. Stomach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stomach

    Sections of this gut begin to differentiate into the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, and the esophagus, and stomach form from the foregut. [ 30 ] As the stomach rotates during early development, the dorsal and ventral mesentery rotate with it; this rotation produces a space anterior to the expanding stomach called the greater sac, and a ...

  7. Intestinal villus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestinal_villus

    Intestinal villi (sg.: villus) are small, finger-like projections that extend into the lumen of the small intestine.Each villus is approximately 0.5–1.6 mm in length (in humans), and has many microvilli projecting from the enterocytes of its epithelium which collectively form the striated or brush border.

  8. Lumen (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumen_(anatomy)

    Cross section of the gut. The lumen is the space in the middle also known as the volume. Normal histology of the breast, with lumen annotated at bottom right [1] In biology, a lumen (pl.: lumina) is the inside space of a tubular structure, such as an artery or intestine. [2] It comes from Latin lumen ' an opening '. It can refer to:

  9. Human digestive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_digestive_system

    Sections of this foregut begin to differentiate into the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, such as the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. [41] During the fourth week of development, the stomach rotates. The stomach, originally lying in the midline of the embryo, rotates so that its body is on the left.
