[Structure of the gastric mucosa following experimental antrectomy]
Abstract:
The important role of the antral part of the stomach in sustaining the gastric mucosa tissue homeostasis has been shown in chronic experiment in dogs. In 5-13 months after antrectomy the thickness of the gastric mucosa diminishes by 21% at an average, the height of the fundal glands-by 29%, the amount of the parietal cells-by 54%, the amount of basic cells-by 34%. Hypoplastic lesions of the gastric mucous membrane develop and complete within the first months after antrectomy. After the 5th month the degree of hypoplasia fails to markedly increase, i. e. the shifts found are not of constantly progressing character.

Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...

The mucosa is sometimes called a mucous membrane due to its mucus-secreting features. This membrane is composed of epithelium, which directly interacts with ingested substances, and the lamina propria, a layer...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
