Stomach: cardiac region
A sharp transition in the epithelium, from stratified squamous moist (esophagus) to simple columnar (stomach), marks the transition of these two organs. The depth of the gastric pits (foveolae) is about equal to the length of the glands in the cardiac region (a diagnostic feature for the cardiac region of the stomach). 100x
