Rugae is a series of ridges produced by folding of the wall of an organ. The gastric rugae (or gastric folds) in the stomach increases the surface area for more nutrient absorption. When food enters the stomach, these rugae become stretched.

Answer:
Ménétrier's disease causes the ridges along the inside of the stomach wall—called rugae—to enlarge, forming giant folds in the stomach lining. The rugae enlarge because of an overgrowth of mucous cells in the stomach wall. In a normal stomach, mucous cells in the rugae release protein-containing mucus.
