Anatomical regions of the stomach opened along the greater curvature. The non-glandular region has a white appearing epithelium, whereas the glandular region is shades of red. They are separated by the Margo plicatus. The three sampled regions include: Cardia as the small strip area just below and along the margo plicatus, the corpus region containing acid, pepsinogen and mucus secreting glands (dark red) and the antrum region containing primarly mucus and gastrin secreting glands.
