Junction between Stomach and Duodenum
Pyloric and Brunner's Glands
Notes
The transition from stomach (on the right) to small intestine (on the left) is evident here, but only upon careful inspection, preferably at higher-magnification.
Note how the mucosal surface changes from pits (in pylorus, on right) to villi (in duodenum, on left), and how mucosal glands (pylorus, on right) give way to submucosal glands (Brunner's glands, on left).
