The Stomach

Columnar Epithelial Tissue: helps protect the stomach from stomach acid. Also, it secretes enzymes, digestive fluid, and acid.

Mucous Cells

Parietal Cells

Chief Cells

G Cells

Muscularis Mucosa (Smooth Muscle Tissue): Allows the Mucosa to fold and increase its contact with the stomach contents.

Muscle Cells

Connective Tissues: helps support the mucosa and connects it to the muscularis layer.

Fibroblast Cells

Nerve Tissues: controls the contents of the stomach, smooth muscle contractions, and secretion of digestive fluids.

Sensory Neurons

Motor Neurons

Interneurons

Simple Sqamous Epithelial Tissues

Mucous Cells

Parietal Cells

Chief Cells

G Cells

Areolar Connective Tissue

Fibroblast Cells

Muscular Tissue: helps mix stomach contents and force them to the lower intestine.
