RESUMO

The stomach of the tammar may be divided into cardiac, "oesophageal", fundic and pyloric regions. In the cells of the cardiac region (which occupy 65% of the stomach) at least three types of mucous droplet are present. The stratified squamous "oesophageal" region occupies 20% of the stomach and the fundic and pyloric regions make up the remaining 15%. The cellular structure of the three last named regions seems to be similar to that described for other monogastric mammals. Endocrine cells were found in all glandular regions.
