Submucosa: Brunner's glands

These images show submucosal glands (Brunner’s glands), which are only present in the duodenum portion of the small intestine; their presence can be used to distinguish the duodenum from the jejunum or ileum. Ducts from these glands pass through the muscularis mucosae to empty into the bases of intestinal glands. These submucosal glands produce an alkaline mucus that helps neutralize the acidity of the chyme entering the duodenum from the stomach. The duodenum also receives the secretions of the exocrine pancreas and liver. 100x, 200x
