the smooth muscle muscularis mucosae (6). Individual smooth muscle fibers
(2, 10) from the circular layer of the muscularis mucosae (6) pass upward
between the pyloric glands (5, 9) into the lamina propria (4) and the upper region
of the mucosa. Located below the muscularis mucosae (6) is the submucosa (7),
which contains blood vessels—an arteriole (13) and a venule (12).

Pyloric Gastric Glands
Pyloric glands contain the same cell types as those present in cardiac glands
in the cardiac region of the stomach. Mucus-secreting cells predominate and
the secrete mucus that covers and protects the pyloric mucosa. Other cells in
