as the stomach fills with food and expands, the folds (rugae) disappear
Stomach is lined by various folds of mucous membrane and muscle tissue. These folds are termed as Rugae. This results in the characteristic appearance of stomach on the endoscopy.
Rugae are found in the stomach and gall bladder.
The folds of the stomach are called rugae.
The function of the rugae on the stomach wall is to aid in digestion. This smooth's out as the stomach is filled with food.
These types of folds are called rugae, in the stomach they are the gastric rugae
Rugae
The rugae gradually smooth out as the stomach fills, permitting stomach distension. A cross section of the stomach lining reveals that in between the rugae are gastric pits, which are the openings of the gastric glands.
Rugae are found in the stomach and gall bladder.
The folds of the mucosa on the internal surface of the stomach are called rugae. Rugae allow the stomach to expand when it is filled with food and contract when it is empty. This helps in mixing and breaking down food during digestion.
Rugae are actually folds in the mucosa of the stomach and urinary bladder, not the kidney. Rugae in the stomach help with its expansion when it is full, while rugae in the bladder allow for stretching as it fills with urine.
The rugae are rough ridges in the stomach and provide a rough surface for food to be ground against.
the rugae is found in the stomach. The villi is in the lining of the small intestines.
