Glands

The three regions of the stomach can be distinguished by the ratio of the length of the gastric pits to the length of the gastric glands. In the cardiac region (left), pits and glands are roughly equal in length; in the body and fundic regions (middle), the pits are much shorter than the glands; in the pyloric region, the pits are longer than the glands (right). 100x
