Q

What part of the small intestine is shown here and how can you tell?

A

Duodenum

  • Brunners glands present in SUBMUCOSA
  • Only the oesophagus and duodenum contain glands in the submucosa so look for glands first then at the epithelium
  • Villi in this portion tend to be shorter with flatter tops than the ileum.
