Title: Cardia and pylorus area of the stomach (human)
Description: Stain: Hematoxylin-eosin. (A) Cardia area. (B) Pylorus area.
(A): The cardiac part of the stomach is covered with a simple columnar epithelium (1) that forms broad crypts or foveolae in which end up the cardiac glands that are located in the lamina propria (2). The mucous glands are often coiled or winded in whirls.
The lamina muscularis mucosae (3) is well developed.
(5) Tela submucosa is a connective tissue layer embedding blood vessels and nerve complexes.
Below that layer a thick inner muscular layer is found (5). The longitudinal muscle layer is absent in this photograph.
The cardiac glands produce an alkaline mucus and lysozyme.
(B): The pyloric area has shorter tubular glands which are branched but less winded. The foveolae are usually much deeper and more narrow that in the cardiac and fundus area of the stomach. They produce mucus and contain several endocrine cell types.
