| Scope Note | Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes.

These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones. |
