Pyloric stomach is a narrow tubular posterior part of stomach. The histological study revealed that the wall of pyloric stomach is composed of mucosa, submucosa, muscularis and serosa. Mucosal epithelium was single layered formed mainly of tall columnar cells and few goblet cells. Histochemical study showed the presence of moderate amount of neutral mucosubstances and poor quantities of sialomucins in the epithelial cells. Goblet cells contained moderate amount of sulfomucins. Three types of glands have been identified in pyloric stomach depending upon the type of mucosubstances secreted by the gland cells. Glands-Type I indicated the presence of only neutral mucosubstances (intense). Glands- Type II cells contained only sulfomucins (intense). In glands-Type III, two types of cells were observed, the type I and the type II cells. Type I cells in these glands contained only neutral mucosubstances (intense). Glands-type II cells contained only sulfomucins (intense). | | Keywords : | | |
