Glands of the Stomach Proper

The gastric glands are their own (g. gastricae propriae, lnh; synonym: fundic glands) - these are glands located in the mucous membrane of the fundic part of the stomach. They produce hydrochloric acid, pepsinogen and mucus, which are involved in the digestion of food.

The glands of the stomach are simple tubular glands. They consist of secretory sections, lined with parietal and chief cells, and excretory ducts. Parietal cells produce hydrochloric acid, and chief cells produce pepsinogen and mucus.

Hydrochloric acid creates an acidic environment in the stomach, necessary for the activation of pepsin and the digestion of proteins. Mucus protects the stomach lining from acid damage. Thus, the glands of the stomach play an important role in the digestion process. Violation of their function can lead to the development of various stomach diseases.

The gastric glands are their own (G. gastricae properae LNH; syngastric fundic glands) are the secretory apparatus of the stomach. In humans, there are six groups of glands located deep in the mucous membrane.

The stomach's own glands include: - gastric glands - the most numerous; - pyloric (pyloric glands); - accessory digestive glands of the mucous membrane, located in all layers. In the mucous membrane covering the cardiac part of the stomach there are parietal glands, which are clusters of round cells; in the mucous membrane under the subepithelial tissue bordering the pu
