Stomach Gastric Gland Distribution
Cardiac glands
- heavily branched tubular glands
- similar to the cardiac glands of the esophagus
- contain mainly mucus-producing cells
- a few of the secretory cells characteristic for the principal glands may be present
Principal glands
(corpus-fundic)
- each glandular tubule consists of three parts:
- a deep body
- an intermediary neck
- an upper isthmus
- gland tubule oriented more or less perpendicular to the surface of the epithelium.
- principal glands have four cell types: chief cells, parietal cells, mucous neck cells and endocrine cells.
Pyloric glands
- glands are more coiled than principal glands
- may also be branched
- Endocrine cells are more frequent than in principal glands
- gastrin-producing cells
- a few parietal cells may be present
- chief cells are usually absent
