Answers to Questions:
What type of tissue comprises the submucosa (middle third)?
The connective tissue which composes the submucosa is mostly collagenous fibers with
some elastic fibers.
What is the secretion of each of these cell types: parietal cell, surface mucous cells, and chief
cells?
Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid into the lumen to establish an extremely acidic
environment. Surface mucous cells secrete bicarbonate-rich mucus into the gastric surface for
coating and lubrication. Chief cells secrete chymosin/rennin which is a protease that coagulates
milk protein, found in young animals. Chief cells and mucous cells also secret pepsinogen into
the gastric juice which becomes the pepsin in stomach when activated.
Which of these three muscle layers hypertrophies to form the pyloric sphincter?
The middle circular layer of the muscularis thickens to form the pyloric sphincter.
