The gastric glands are located in different regions of the stomach. These are the fundic glands, the cardiac glands, and the pyloric glands. The glands are found in the gastric pits of the stomach lining. The various cells of the glands secrete mucus, pepsinogen, hydrochloric acid, intrinsic factor, gastrin, histamine and bicarbonate. ==Types of gland== The three types of gland are all located in gastric pits within the gastric mucosa–the mucous membrane of the stomach. The gastric mucosa is pitted with innumerable gastric pits which house the gastric glands. The cardiac glands are found in the cardia of the stomach which is the part nearest to the heart, enclosing the opening where the oesophagus joins to the stomach. Only cardiac glands are found here and they primarily secrete mucus. They are fewer in number than the other gastric glands and are more shallowly positioned in the mucosa. There are two kinds - either simple tubular with short ducts or compound racemose resembling the duodenal Brunner's glands The fundic glands (or ''oxyntic glands''), are found in the fundus and body of the stomach. They are simple almost straight tubes, two or more of which open into a single duct. ''Oxyntic'' means acid-secreting and they secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor.〔 The pyloric glands are located in the antrum of the pylorus. They secrete gastrin produced by their G cells. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gastric glands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
