The folds of the gastric mucosa are called RUGAE.
a polypeptide hormone,
gastric acid
A perforating gastric ulcer can be fatal. The spewing of gastric acids can damage all organs that the acid comes into contact with. The pancreas is exceptionally susceptible to the acid both from the exterior and the interior as it is the first place the acid is directed to for elimination.
Health problems of the stomach.
Somatostatin
The parasympathetic is stimulatory to stomach , increase the gastric secretion and motility while the sympathetic is inhibitory , decrease the gastric secretion and motility

Gastrin is a hormone that is produced by the stomach to increase the motility of the stomach which would then allow the stomach to empty in anticipation of the next meal.
The medications that inhibit the ability of gastric cells to secrete hydrogen ions is a proton pump inhibitor.
The function of it is not altered, only the size becomes smaller.
Gastrin, which is secreted by the enteroendocrine cells of the stomach. Gastrin stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid and pepsin; induces contraction of the lower oesophagus; mildly increases the motility of the GI tract; and relaxes the pyloric sphincter.
It is the measurement used for gut motility. It is checked every 4 to 6 hours in enteral nutrition patients. If the RV is between 200 and 500 ml, measures are taken to prevent aspiration.
Long-term preservation of stomach contents in incubating KingPenguins-- Male King Penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) are able tostore undigested food in their stomach for up to 3 weeks during theirincubation fast. Such an adaptation ensures hatchling survival if theirmate's return is delayed. Using small electronic recorders, Thouzeau et al.(2004) studied the change in gastric pH, motility and temperature duringthe first week of food storage. The pH could be maintained at values ashigh as 6 throughout the incubation fast, a pH unfavorable for aviangastric proteinase activity. Gastric motility was markedly reduced for mostof the incubating birds, with lower motility probably associated with abetter conservation of stomach content. Stomach temperature wasmaintained at around 38°C. The fact that stomach temperature ofincubating birds did not show a daily rhythmic fluctuation as seen in nonbreedingbirds could be due to temperature constraints on embryodevelopment. Thus, this study demonstrates substantial adjustments of pHand gastric motility in incubating King Penguins, which may contribute tothe inhibition of digestive gastric processes. Mechanisms underlying theseadjustments are probably complex, including a combination of neuronal,humoral, and/or hormonal factors.

Rabeprazole is a selective and irreversible proton pump inhibitor. Rabeprazole suppresses gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+, K+-ATPase) enzyme system found at the secretory surface of parietal cells. It inhibits the final transport of hydrogen ions (via exchange with potassium ions) into the gastric lumen. Since the H+, K +-ATPase enzyme system is regarded as the acid (proton) pump of the gastric mucosa, rabeprazole is known as a gastric acid pump inhibitor. Rabeprazole does not have anticholinergic or histamine H2-receptor antagonist properties
