FIGURE 4.14 | Simple Branched Tubular
Exocrine Glands: Gastric Glands
Simple or slightly branched tubular glands without excretory ducts are found in
the stomach. These are the gastric glands (A and B). In the fundus and body of
the stomach, they are lined with modified columnar cells that are specialized for
secreting hydrochloric acid and the precursor for the proteolytic enzyme pepsin.
