The gastric oxyntic mucosa, located in the upper and middle portions of the stomach, is responsible for secreting gastric acid, pepsinogen, and intrinsic factor. It contains three main cell types: parietal cells (secrete HCl and intrinsic factor), chief cells (secrete pepsinogen), and mucous neck cells (secrete mucus). These cells are organized into gastric pits and…

The colonic mucosa is the innermost layer of the colon, consisting of the epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae. The epithelium is composed of various cell types, including enterocytes, goblet cells, Paneth cells, and enteroendocrine cells, which facilitate nutrient absorption, secretion, and microbial homeostasis. The lamina propria, beneath the epithelium, contains immune cells, blood vessels,…
