The gastric folds (or gastric rugae) are coiled sections of tissue that exist in the mucosal and submucosal layers of the stomach. [1] They provide elasticity by allowing the stomach to expand when a bolus enters it. These folds stretch outward through the action of mechanoreceptors, which respond to the increase in pressure. [2]
Most commonly rugae refers to the gastric rugae of the internal surface of the stomach. For terrestrial gastropods, the rugae often appear as fine, transverse folds or wrinkles on the mantle, back, or sides of the body. They are particularly visible when the animal extends its body or contracts, and may also be interrupted or intersected by ...
ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. [1]
Although ICD-10 classifies it under "Other gastritis" , and the lamina propria may contain mild chronic inflammatory infiltrate, Ménétrier disease is not considered a form of gastritis. [3] It is rather considered one of the two most well understood hypertrophic gastropathies; the other being Zollinger–Ellison syndrome .
Vaginal rugae are illustrated in this 1891 medical textbook image. Vaginal rugae are structures of the vagina that are transverse ridges formed out of the supporting tissues and vaginal epithelium in females. [1] Some conditions can cause the disappearance of vaginal rugae and are usually associated with childbirth and prolapse of pelvic ...
Diagram showing gastric pits (13) gastric glands (12) lamina propria (10) epithelium (11) Histology of normal fundic mucosa. Fundic glands are simple, branched tubular glands that extend from the bottom of the gastric pits to the muscularis mucosae; the more distinctive cells are parietal cells. H&E stain. Histology of normal antral mucosa.
The gastric mucosa is the mucous membrane layer of the stomach, which contains the gastric pits, to which the gastric glands empty. In humans, it is about one mm thick, and its surface is smooth, soft, and velvety.
Esophageal inlet patches are well defined areas of mucosa which resemble stomach tissue and are pink or salmon colored. [2] The mucosal surface of an esophageal inlet patch is typically flat, [3] but may be slightly raised or slightly depressed.
