cardiac gastric gland in dogs

A gastric gland in the cardiac region of the stomach; cardiac glands are fewer in number than in the fundus and body, and secrete mucin which coats the stomach and protects it[MP]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the cardiac gastric gland is

What the cardiac gastric gland connects to

The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of cardia of stomach.

Supply and innervation
