EM 035 Gastric Gland

Gastric Gland

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the epithelium at the base of a gastric gland is composed mostly of chief cells.

The structure of chief cells is similar to other exocrine cells.

  • (blue)
    • Nuclei from many cells are not visible in this section
  • (purple) - large, densely packed in the apical region of the cells
  • (yellow) - well-developed in these secretory cells
  • (red)
  • (cyan) - abundant in the basal region of the cells
  • Cytoplasm (green)

An (tan) is also seen at the base of the gland.
