/3. [The glands of the fundus of the stomach l are not so complex 

 as the typical glands of the oesophagus. The cells at the mouth 

 of the gland are continued Ficr ig6 



into fine processes (Fig. 187), 

 and their, outer parts contain 

 mucigen. The cells of the 



neck of the gland are more M ^ 



cubical, and towards the 



lower part of the neck are 



mucous cells. The cells of 



the body of the gland are of ^ 



irregular shape, and so placed S'JJ- ?: 



that the nucleus of one cell 



faces the junction of two 



cells on the opposite side 



(Langley). These cells are -f : 



very finely granular.]

mucous cells in the neck of the glands of the fundus.] 



ft. [Between these well-marked groups of glands are various 

 transitional forms. The transition from oesophageal to gastric 

 glands is not a continuous one, as glands resembling those of the 

 stomach can be found nearer the oesophagus than other glands, which
