Summary Introduction
To review:
The role of rugae, mucous neck cells, surface mucous cells, G cells, chief cells, and parietal cells.
Introduction:
The stomach is J-shaped structure situated below the diaphragm in the abdominal cavity. The wall of the stomach consists of epithelial cells consisting of gastric glands, which produce secretions in the stomach chamber. In the stomach, the digestion of triglycerides continues and protein digestion begins.
