The cardiac glands of the stomach secrete primarily mucus. Gray's Anatomy the Respiratory apparatus ( Apparatus Respiratorius Respiratory system Respiratory apparatus Elsevier, the world's largest Publisher of Medical and Scientific literature, forms part of the Reed Elsevier group In Human anatomy, the stomach is a J-shaped hollow muscular organ of the Gastrointestinal tract involved in the second phase of Digestion, following In vertebrates mucus is a slippery secretion produced by and covering Mucous membranes It is a viscous Colloid containing Antiseptic enzymes (such as They are few in number and occur close to the cardiac orifice where the esophagus joins the stomach. The cardia (also known as Z-line or esophagogastric junction or gastroesophageal junction) is the anatomical term for the junction orifice of The esophagus or oesophagus (see American and British English spelling differences) sometimes known as the gullet, is an organ in
In general, they are more shallow than those in the other parts of the stomach.
They are of two kinds:
- (1) simple tubular glands resembling those of the pyloric end of the stomach, but with short ducts. If a Gland retains its shape as a tube throughout it is termed a tubular gland. The pylorus (from Greek πυλωρος = "gate guard" is the region of the Stomach that connects to the Duodenum. In Human anatomy, the stomach is a J-shaped hollow muscular organ of the Gastrointestinal tract involved in the second phase of Digestion, following
- (2) compound racemose glands resembling the duodenal glands. In contrast to Tubular glands, in the second main variety of gland the secretory portion is enlarged and the lumen variously increased in size Brunner glands (or Pancreal glands) are compound tubular submucosal Glands found in that portion of the Duodenum which is above the
The cardiac gland is both innervated by the parasympathetic and symapthetic nerve fibres of the autonomic nervous system.
