C1
- The hopper-like container
- no papillae and has glandular portions.
- Dorsal regions are stratified squamous and non-keratinized
- Ventral regions (glandular saccules) are lined by mucinous epithelial cells.
- Seems to be involved in absorption of water and solutes (not bicarbonate formation).
- Contents are homogenous and fibrous, with no gas cap as can be seen in ruminants.
- Single walled oesophageal groove present.
C2
- Mostly glandular epithelium,except around the oesophageal groove.
- Contains numerous glandular divisions forming a retiform pattern.
C3
- Entirely glandular.
- The terminal 1/5th contains gastric glands - mucosa is reddish brown in this area (the rest is pink).
