The stomach is a J-shaped organ that stores and digests food. It is divided into three regions with slightly different mucosa:
• fundus
• body
• pylorus
The esophagus is a long, muscular tube lined with non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium that transports food and liquid from the mouth to the stomach. Its submucosa layer consists of mucus glands and ducts (stratified cuboidal epithelium).
The appendix is situated on the lower right side of the abdomen and has abundant lymphoid tissue. The dominant features of its mucosal layer are crypts with very few in number and the lamina propria.
