The fundus glands (or fundic glands, or gastric glands) are found in the body and fundus of the stomach.

Pathology

Fundic gland polyposis is a medical syndrome where the fundus of the stomach develops many polyps. Fundic gland polyposis is a medical syndrome where the Fundus of the Stomach develops many polyps. In Human anatomy, the stomach is a J-shaped hollow muscular organ of the Gastrointestinal tract involved in the second phase of Digestion, following A polyp is an abnormal growth of tissue ( Tumor) projecting from a Mucous membrane.

Isthmus mucous cells In gastric pits. Goblet cells are Glandular simple columnar epithelial cells whose sole function is to secrete Mucus. Gastric pits are indentations in the Stomach which denote entrances to the Glands. mucus gel layer Clear
Neck parietal (oxyntic) cells Between the chief cells and the basement membrane, larger oval cells, which stain deeply with eosin, are found; these cells are studded throughout the tube at intervals, giving it a beaded or varicose appearance. In vertebrates mucus is a slippery secretion produced by and covering Mucous membranes It is a viscous Colloid containing Antiseptic enzymes (such as Parietal cells (also called oxyntic cells) are the Stomach Epithelium cells that secrete Gastric acid and Intrinsic factor The basement membrane is a structure that supports overlying Epithelial or Endothelial cells. Eosin is a Fluorescent red Dye resulting from the action of Bromine on Fluorescein. Varicose veins are Veins that have become enlarged and twisted These are known as the parietal cells or oxyntic cells, and they are connected with the lumen by fine channels which run into their substance. Parietal cells (also called oxyntic cells) are the Stomach Epithelium cells that secrete Gastric acid and Intrinsic factor gastric acid and intrinsic factor Acidophilic
Base chief (zymogenic) cells At the point where they open into the duct, which is termed the neck, the epithelium alters, and consists of short columnar or polyhedral, granular cells, which almost fill the tube, so that the lumen becomes suddenly constricted and is continued down as a very fine channel. Gastric acid is one of the main Secretions of the Stomach, together with several Enzymes and Intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is a Glycoprotein produced by the Parietal cells of the Stomach. A Gastric chief cell (or peptic cell, or gastric zymogenic cell) is a cell in the Stomach that releases Pepsinogen, gastric lipase and In biology and medicine epithelium is a tissue composed of cells that line the cavities and surfaces of structures throughout the body They are known as the chief cells or central cells of the glands. In general a chief cell (or a " Zymogenic cell" is a cell which releases a precursor Enzyme. pepsinogen, rennin Basophilic
