Adult Anatomy

Cuticle layer that lines the regions of the adult proventriculus (cardia) that derive from the foregut, including the inner and intermediate layers. The cuticle is thicker in the inner layer than in other regions of the proventriculus, forming several longitudinal folds and causing the esophageal lumen to appear irregular in cross-section. (Miller, 1950, King, 1988)
