Enlist different cell types lining the fundic gland in terms
of its location, shape and organelles
CELLS LOCATION SHAPE ORGANELLES
Mucous Lower part of Simple columnar Apical region – mucinogen granules
gastric pits - neck

Parietal Junction of Large cells, •Centrally locted rounded nucleus

gastric pit with rounded or •High density eosinophilic –
gastric glands - pyrimidal mitochondria
•Large golgi apparatus
isthmus •RER

Chief Lower region of Basophilic simple •Spherical basal nucleus

gastric glands columnar or •Secretory granules – pepsinogen &
pyrimidal gastric lipase

Stem Neck region Columnar cells - •Basally located nucleus

undifferentiated •Cell organelles – unremarkable
•Prominent ribosomes

Enteroendocrine Necks and bases Small irregular •Small membrane bound secretory
cells granules – GIT polypeptide
hormones (gastrin, secretin,
serotonin etc,)

submucosa in the small intestine in order to enhance absorption

What do you understand by intestinal villi?
Explain its features depending on their location
Villi are permanent fingerlike projections of lamina propia
of the mucosa that extend into the intestinal lumen

Lacteals (lymph vessels)

Blood capillaries – numerous
