(8) Photomicrograph of the cardiac stomach of T. sparrmanii showing mucosal fold consisting of lamina propria with numerous gastric glands (GG), and muscularis, which consisted of inner circular (IC) and outer longitudinal (OL), the serosa (S) and the epithelial layer with gastric pits (arrow). H&E stain. (9) An enlarged photomicrograph of the cardiac stomach of T. sparrmanii showing the different layers; the sub mucosa (SM), muscularis consisting of inner circular (IC) and outer longitudinal (OL) muscle layers, the serosa (S) and gastric glands (GG). H&E stain. (10) Photomicrograph of the pyloric stomach of T. sparrmanii showing villi like projections into the gastric lumen. Note the absence of gastric glands. (11) Photomicrograph showing the transition between the oesophagus and the stomach (arrows). Note the absence of AB (pH 2.5) positive cell in the pyloric region of the stomach (*). Scale bars: 8, 10, 11 = 200 µm, 9 = 50 µm.
