pyloric gland

The pyloric glands are found in the pyloric portion of the stomach.

Some waste may also be excreted by the pyloric glands and voided with the faeces.

Here digestive enzymes are secreted and a pyloric gland adds further secretions.

Gastrin is a hormone produced by enteroendocrine G cells in the pyloric glands.

The stomach of L.sikapusi lacks pyloric glands.

The pyloric glands contain mucus-secreting cells.

Beyond lies the powerful muscular gizzard, lined by pyloric glands, and, in some species, containing stones that the animal swallows to help grind up food.

The gastric lining is usually divided into two regions, an anterior portion lined by fundic glands, and a posterior with pyloric glands.

The pyloric glands contain gastrin producing cells (G cells); this hormone stimulates acid production from the parietal cells.

They can be distinguished from other stomach glands (fundic glands and pyloric glands) because the glands are shallow and simple tubular.

There are three types of glands: cardiac glands (in the proximal part of the stomach), oxyntic glands (the dominating type of gland), and pyloric glands.
