Abstract
A new method is suggested for studying the ultrastructure of the parietal cells of the gastric mucosa: After an electron-microscopic study of the submicroscopic organization of cells at the three main levels of the principal glands (generative zone, zone of the most active cells, and fundus of the gland) a morphometric analysis of the results is made. Considerable differences in the ultrastructural morphometric indices of the parietal cells at different levels of the glands were revealed by the use of this method. It is suggested that despite its somewhat laborious nature, this approach can also be used to study other cells of the gastric mucosa and also many other tissues with a constant rapid rate of cell removal.
