In general, they are more shallow than those in the other parts of the stomach.
They are of two kinds:
- (1) simple tubular glands resembling those of the pyloric end of the stomach, but with short ducts.
- (2) compound racemose glands resembling the duodenal glands.

The mucous membranes (or mucosae; singular: mucosa) are linings of mostly endodermal origin, covered in epithelium, and are involved in absorption and secretion. They line various body cavities that are exposed to the external environment and internal organs.
