Duodenum

This image of a plica circularis shows evaginations (villi) and invaginations (intestinal glands) of the mucosal epithelium.  Ducts of Brunner’s glands drain into the bases of the intestinal glands.  The presence of Brunner’s glands in the submucosa is a diagnostic feature of the duodenum.  40x
