Anatomy and Physiology of the Stomach

Development of the digestive system in early infancy and nutritional management of digestive problems in breastfed and formula-fed infants

“…When the secretion rate increased under external stimulation, the concentration of Na + decreased, H + increased rapidly, Cl − increased slightly, while K + was relatively stable. 12 The gastric volume varies from 10–100 mL in neonates, to 90–500 mL in infants, and reaching 1–3 L in adults. 13 Milk intake in early infancy also changes considerably with age.…”

A biodegradable magnesium surgical staple for colonic anastomosis: In vitro and in vivo evaluation

“…The implants, such as cardiovascular stents and bone screws, need to stay in the body for several months or even years, which puts a high requirement on corrosion resistance. For the intestinal environment, even though the juices flow [ 36 , 37 ], intestine wriggling [ 38 , 39 ], and food friction might accelerate the corrosion rates of devices, the Mg-based anastomotic staple still possesses particular advantages in intestinal anastomosis. Firstly, it must be noted the healing time demanded after intestinal anastomosis is shorter.…”

Modeling endodermal organ development and diseases using human pluripotent stem cell-derived organoids

“…During development, the stomach epithelium forms invaginations into the lamina propria known as gastric units, which are subdivided into the pit and the gland ( Wilson and Stevenson, 2019 ). The mature human stomach is divided into two distinct functional domains: the proximal fundus/corpus stomach and the distal pyloric antrum region.…”
