Simple, branched tubular gland

In addition to the surface sheet gland, the stomach also possesses numerous simple, branched tubular glands that descend into the underlying tissue.  These glands consist of branching secretory tubules.  The tubules empty into surface invaginations (gastric pits) that serve as ducts for the glands.  These glands are examples of tubular glands that do not secrete mucus.  Rather, they gland secrete stomach acid and digestive enzymes.  Fundic stomach 200x
