The present study was undertaken to explore the gross and histomorphological details of stomach of rabbit. Stomach was a J- shaped dilatation of the digestive tract and was located on the left side of the median plane transversally in the abdominal cavity just caudal to the liver. It had three distinct glandular regions viz; cardiac, fundic and pyloric gland region. The principle cell types in the fundic gland regions were the chief and parietal cells with a unique arrangement. The upper 1/3rd area had numerous parietal cells and the lower 2/3rd region had predominantly chief cells with parietal cells arranged on the periphery. The tunica muscularis in the pyloric gland region was significantly thick than other two regions. The tunica serosa had abundant of elastic fibers which aided in elasticity of this organ.
