Rugae is a term used in anatomy that refers to a series of ridges produced by folding of the wall of an organ. Most commonly the term is applied to the internal surface of the stomach. The stomach rugae may be seen during esophagogastroduodenoscopy or in radiological studies. They allow for stomach expansion after ingestion of food.

Other locations that rugae appear in humans:

Wrinkles of the scrotum
Interior walls of the vagina
Hard palate immediately behind the upper anterior teeth
Bladder
