Microscope view of a healthy stomach lining, or gastric mucosa. Blood vessels and gastric pits are visible. Gastric pits are the openings into the stomach of the glands that secrete gastric juice. Gastric juice contains hydrochloric acid, protective mucus and pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins. See clip K007/4735 for a similar view of the stomach lining affected by an ulcer. | |
