This moist tissue lines the inner surfaces of many organs, such as the mouth, nose, lungs, and the stomach. Glands throughout a mucous membrane produce thick, lubricious liquid. The inner lining of stomach tissue is mucosa. The mucus in the stomach protects the lining from acids used...
The primary function of the stomach is to store the food ingested during a meal and to regulate its release into the duodenum. Its other functions are to churn and mix the food with the gastric secretions producing a thick mixture known as ‘chyme’. In addition it has a range of exocrine...
What is the function of the mucous membranes? Mucous membranes protect the body from external pathogens and produce mucus to keep the membrane adequately moisturized. In some organs, the mucous membranes can have more specialized functions, e.g., mucous membranes in the stomach and intestines are...

What are the folds in the mucosa called? What is the name of the folds found in the stomach lining? a. Villi b. Microvilli c. Plicae circulars d. Rugae e. Invaginations Name the structure that conducts mucus and secretions from the gastric glands to the lumen of the stomach...
It enters the midpoint of the rodent stomach at the lesser curvature near the limiting ridge (also known as the margo plicatus), the region where the nonglandular forestomach meets the glandular mucosa elevated by thickened forestomach lamina propria (Fig. 11.3). In humans, the esophagus ...

What is the function of the rugae in the stomach? What type of epithelial tissue are endothelium and mesothelium? What is the function of intracapsular brown adipose tissue and what is its significance? Why is epithelial tissue avascular? What is the function of mucus in large intestine? What...
(secrete mucus),enteroendocrine cells, andPaneth cells(produce lysozymes), all serving as a barrier to bacteria. Unlike the other cells, the Paneth cells remain anchored in the lower portion of the crypt and live for approximately 21 days. Each crypt produces 300–400 cells per day, and ...
