Glandular Epithelium of Mouse Stomach.

The glandular epithelium of the fundic stomach in the mouse contains branching gastric glands. The most obvious cells are the columnar surface mucous cells, the eosinophilic parietal cells with central nuclei, and the basally located, blueish chief cells. Also present but not seen without special stains are the mucuous neck cells and the enteroendocrine cells. Original mag. 80x. H&E. Stomach. Digestive System. Mouse.
