outermost connective tissue
Term
visceral peritoneum
Definition
adventitia in abdominal cavity
connect with parietal peritoneum
Term
Rugae
Definition
internal folds of the stomach
when stomach fills they go away
Term
stomach wall
Definition
columnar epithelial cells
secrete alkaline mucous that protects cells
epithelia is tight preventing gastric juice from going into wall
Term
