This organ's fundic and cardiac regions contain foveolar cells which secrete mucus, while intrinsic factor, which is necessary for vitamin B12 absorption, is released by its parietal cells.
This organ's fundic and cardiac regions contain foveolar cells which secrete mucus, while intrinsic factor, which is necessary for vitamin B12 absorption, is released by its parietal cells. Blood supplied through the left and right gastro-omental arteries allows its enteroendocrine cells to produce somatostatin, cholecystokinin, and gastrin and its chief cells to secrete rennin and pepsinogen. Its rugae folds increase surface area, thus allowing for improved digestion in the region between its pyloric and esophageal sphincters. FTP, name this hydrochloric acid-producing organ which digests food into chime.
