Stomach: fundus and body
Fundic glands are simple, branched tubular, with the branch point occurring in the neck region of the gland near its junction with the gastric pit. The light-staining loose connective tissue of the lamina propria is evident between the glands. Different cell types in the glands tend to be localized at different levels of the glands. 200x
Gastric pits >
Gastric pits, short in the body and fundus, extend from the surface epithelium to attach to the neck of the glands, where branching occurs. Gastric glands, including the fundic glands, extend from the gastric pits through the lamina propria to the muscularis mucosae.

Lamina propria
Gastric pits, short in the body and fundus, extend from the surface epithelium to attach to the neck of the glands, where branching occurs. Gastric glands, including the fundic glands, extend from the gastric pits through the lamina propria to the muscularis mucosae.
Parietal cells >
Parietal cells are more numerous at the beginning of the glands. Chief and enteroendocrine cells (part of the diffuse neuroendocrine system or DNES) are located deep in the glands, nearer the muscularis mucosae.
Chief cells
Parietal cells are more numerous at the beginning of the glands. Chief and enteroendocrine cells (part of the diffuse neuroendocrine system or DNES) are located deep in the glands, nearer the muscularis mucosae.
Enteroendocrine cells
Parietal cells are more numerous at the beginning of the glands. Chief and enteroendocrine cells (part of the diffuse neuroendocrine system or DNES) are located deep in the glands, nearer the muscularis mucosae.
