Preferred Label : gastric mucosa;
MeSH definition : Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA,
and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the
stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates
into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS;
and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of
cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.;
MeSH synonym : gastric mucosas; mucosa, gastric; mucosas, gastric;
MeSH hyponym : cardiac glands; pyloric glands; gastric glands; Gland, Pyloric; Glands, Pyloric; Pyloric Gland; Cardiac Gland; Gland, Cardiac; Glands, Cardiac; Gastric Gland; Gland, Gastric; Glands, Gastric;
MeSH annotation : /secret permitted but consider GASTRIC JUICE /secret if pertinent; mucosal neoplasms:
coordinate IM with STOMACH NEOPLASMS (IM) histological type of neoplasm (IM); mucosal
prolapse: GASTRIC MUCOSA (IM) STOMACH DISEASES (NIM) PROLAPSE (NIM); gastric secretion: consider also GASTRIC JUICE; mucosal neoplasms: coordinate with
STOMACH NEOPLASMS histological type of neoplasm; mucosal prolapse: GASTRIC MUCOSA
