The Digestive System 177 
brane has the same structure in both anterior 
and middle regions of the stomach. That of the 
pyloric or small region, although fixed, stained, et 
cetera, just as carefully as the rest, did not show 
cell details suffi- 
ciently well to 
draw; the ducts of 
the glands in this 
regionarefairly dis- 
tinct but thedeeper 
parts of the glands 
have the appear- 
ance of series of 
alveoli or large adi- 
pose cells. What 
the significance of 
this condition may 
be the writer is not 
able to say, but 
since the structure Fig. 46. The glands of the middle or 
of this region of the fundic region of the stomach of the hiber- 
nating animal, under high magnification; 
gastric mucous A, through duct; B, through body of gland; 
membrane is not , through fundus of gland. 
clear no attempt 
will be made to describe its appearance under 
higher magnification than was employed in the fig- 
ure above. However, as will be noted below, there 
is probably no great difference between the pyloric 
mucosa and that of the other regions of the stomach.
