The internal structure of the stomach

This internal structure of the stomach shows well-defined gastric rugae or a corpse. The gastric folds or gastric rugae are coiled sections of tissue that are found in the mucosal and submucosal layers of the stomach. This structure aids in the physiological function of the stomach by increasing the surface area and motility of the stomach. These internal folds are more prominent when it comes to an autopsy than in a living man. Image via: https://www.instagram.com/p/CN5h8eWhFpz/?igshid=1ghmt51ymk5ly
