Here you see the pyloric junction, the transition point
between the stomach (S) and the intestine (I).
The very large and open gastric pits are characteristic of this part
of the stomach. The epithelium of the duodenum (the first part of the intestine) contains goblet
cells, that of the stomach does not. There are pyloric glands (G) visible in the lamina propria of the stomach section.
