Abstract
We developed a constantβpressure vascular perfusion system of the isolated rat stomach, utilizing an artificial, fluorocarbon (FCβ75)βcontaining medium. Perfusion could be maintained for at least six hours, as demonstrated by the ultrastructure of the mucosal cells and by the constant incorporation of [^3^H]βgalactose in the surface mucous cells. Moreover all mucous cell types in tissue fixed after six hours of perfusion showed the same histochemical reactions for glycoproteins as in tissue fixed shortly after decapitation of the animal.
The surface mucous cells of the antrum incorporated 30% less [^3^H]βgalactose, [^3^H]βserine and [^35^S]βsulphate than those of the fundus. The amount of radioactivity incorporated per cell did not decrease during a subsequent 2 hour chase.

The rat stomach may be divided into two main regions: the forestomach, a non-glandular region lined by stratified squamous epithelium, and the glandular stomaclr, which consists of two parts, "body" and "pylorus." On examination of the mucosa lining the "body," a number of cells may be found undergo
Mucous cells have been identified in the terminal portions of the early postnatal parotid gland in human and rat, although mature parotid gland acini are composed of serous cells or seromucous cells. Previously, Ikeda et al. demonstrated that mucous cells are present in the rat parotid gland on days
