Glands of the circumvallate papillae

The glands of the Ventricular Papillae (g. Papillarum Vallatarum, LNH) are one of the most important organs of the human digestive system. They are located on the back wall of the stomach and perform several functions, including the secretion of hydrochloric acid, enzymes and mucus.

The glands of the circumvallate papillae are located in special pits called gutters on the walls of the stomach. Each gland consists of two parts: the outer, which is called the grooved zone, and the inner, called the glandular zone.

The outer zone of the gland of the Gastric Papilla has the shape of a groove and consists of several layers of cells. It is responsible for the production of mucus, which protects the stomach walls from damage and provides lubrication for food.

The inner zone of the gland, the Glandular Papilla, is the most important part of the gland. This is where hydrochloric acid and enzymes are produced that help break down food. Enzymes such as pepsin and lipase help break down proteins and fats, respectively.

In addition, the glands of the Gastric Papillae also produce mucus, which helps protect the stomach walls from irritation and damage.



Glandular Glands The gastrointestinal glands are located in the wall of the stomach and are considered the main glands that secrete gastric juice. The juice consists of chlorine ions, hydrogen and bilirubin salts. The glands work together with surrounding muscle fibers to move the stomach contents forward. If you look at the stem of your tongue, it will appear rounded, like a wooden ladder, which is what it is.
