The lining of the stomach, composed of simple columnar epithelium and containing branched tubular gastric glands.

Specialized cells found in the gastric glands that secrete mucus to protect the stomach lining from acidic gastric juice.

Cells in the gastric glands that produce pepsin, an enzyme essential for protein digestion.

Cells in the gastric glands that secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor, crucial for vitamin B12 absorption.

These cells in gastric glands regulate blood flow and muscle movement in the stomach.

Found in the stomach lining, they constantly replace damaged cells, ensuring the stomach's integrity.

The outermost layer of the stomach wall, providing protection and support. It is made up of connective tissue and blood vessels.

A layer of smooth muscle in the stomach wall responsible for churning food and propelling it towards the small intestine.

Located in the stomach wall, it contains nerves that control muscle contractions and help regulate digestion.

A layer of connective tissue beneath the mucosa, containing nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatic system.

Located in the submucosa, they control smooth muscle contractions and regulate digestive processes.

The innermost layer of the stomach wall, composed of epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosa.

A muscular valve that controls the passage of food from the stomach to the small intestine.

Specialized glands located in the pyloric region of the stomach, secreting mucus and contributing to digestion.

The process of mixing and churning food in the stomach with gastric juice.

A mixture of hydrochloric acid, enzymes, and mucus secreted by the stomach lining.

A protein-digesting enzyme produced by chief cells in the stomach.

A key component of gastric juice that helps in the absorption of vitamin B12.

The long, coiled tube that follows the stomach, responsible for most nutrient absorption.

Finger-like projections in the small intestine that increase the surface area for nutrient absorption.

Small depressions in the lining of the small intestine that contain glands secreting digestive enzymes.

Specialized cells in the small intestine that produce mucus, lubricating food and aiding in its passage.

Cells in the small intestine that secrete antibacterial agents like lysozyme.

These cells, located in the base of the crypts of the small intestine, are responsible for renewing the intestinal lining.

Cells in the small intestine that monitor and regulate digestive function.

The final section of the digestive tract, where water absorption and waste processing occur.

Cells in the large intestine that produce mucus to soften stool and ease its passage.

Structures in the large intestine that contain pockets of fat and serve to absorb water and electrolytes.

A small, finger-like projection that extends from the large intestine and plays a role in immunity.

A muscular band that runs along the length of the colon, helping to move feces along.

The process of eliminating waste from the body.
