Overview

The gastric mucosa is the innermost lining of the stomach wall. It contains specialized glands and cells that secrete hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes such as pepsinogen, mucus, and hormones, enabling the stomach to break down food while protecting itself from its own acidic contents. The mucosa is essential to digestion and to maintaining the stomach's protective barrier, and disturbances to it, through inflammation, infection, ulceration, or malignant change, underlie many gastric diseases. Examination of the gastric mucosa by endoscopy and biopsy is central to diagnosing these conditions. This topic falls within the scope of Digestive Disorders And Diagnosis, and reported research relevant here includes a clinicopathologic analysis of granulomatous gastritis based on biopsy cases, which directly concerns inflammatory disease of the gastric mucosa, as well as work assessing structural and functional disorders of locally advanced gastric cancer using transabdominal ultrasonography. Additional reported work has described gastric varices arising from venous abnormalities. This page gathers open-access, peer-reviewed research relevant to the gastric mucosa and disorders of the stomach lining.
