Abstract

The esophageal glands are present in all parts of the esophagus, equally distributed around the esophageal lumen, and have mucous character. The first epithelial sporouts of the esophageal glands project from the lamina epithelialis into the lamina propria mucosae/ submucosa at CVRL 25 cm. The excretory ducts become canalized at CVRL 41 cm, and the solid glandular epithelial sprouts at CVRL 64 cm.
