Stomach: fundus and pylorus
A comparison of gastric glands of the fundus/body (left) and the pyloric regions (right) demonstrates the variation in ratio of gastric pits to gastric glands in these regions. In the fundus, gastric pits are about a quarter the length of the glands. In the pylorus, gastric pits are longer than the glands. 40x
