33.1 Schematic pictures of the stomach from macroscopic to microscopic level. (i) Gastric regions. (ii) Gastric gland. (iii) Membrane receptors stimulating acid secretion. ATP = adenosine triphosphate; Ca = calcium ion; cAMP = cyclic adenosine monophosphate; ECL = enterochromaffin-like; H = hydrogen ion. Drawn by S.J. Elmhurst BA Hons (www.livingart.org.uk) and reproduced with her permission.

33.20 Endoscopic appearance of lymphoplasmacytic gastritis. (a) Subtle irregularities in the mucosa of the rugal folds, consistent with chronic gastritis. (b) ‘Paintbrush’ haemorrhages in the antrum. (c) Multiple superficial gastric ulcers (erosions) associated with chronic gastritis showing small amounts of changed (brown) blood. (d) Severe, diffuse ulceration with significant bleeding in chronic gastritis (fresh blood is dripping down). (c, Reproduced from the )(a, b, d, Courtesy of Edward J. Hall)

33.21 Endoscopic appearance of giant hypertrophic gastritis. Thickened, cerebriform rugae are present and do not flatten on insufflation. (Courtesy of Edward J. Hall)

Image of 33.25
33.25 Lateral radiographic and endoscopic images of an intact rubber ball in the stomach of a dog (arrowed). Such foreign bodies lodged in the antrum usually require surgical removal.

33.29 Endoscopic image of an adenocarcinoma in a Tervuren (Belgian Shepherd Dog). Partial gastrectomy was curative, as confirmed by endoscopic biopsy 3 years after the intervention.
