Brunner's gland

Brunner's glands, which secrete mucus, are found in the duodenum only.

The duodenum can be identified by Brunner's glands.

The duodenum contains Brunner's glands which produce bicarbonate.

For the intestine there are Brunner's glands, the submucosal glands of the duodenum.

The jejunum has neither Brunner's glands nor Peyer's Patches.

Secretin increases water and bicarbonate secretion from duodenal Brunner's glands to buffer the incoming protons of the acidic chyme.

The jejunum contains very few Brunner's glands (found in the duodenum) or Peyer's patches (found in the ileum).

Normal duodenal sections provided an excellent positive control, as lysozyme mRNA was strongly expressed in Paneth cells and Brunner's glands.

Duodenitis was graded according to the degree of neutrophilic and plasma cell infiltration, villus height, Brunner's gland prolapse, and gastric metaplasia.

"Brunner's gland adenoma": Polyp-like tumours arising from Brunner's glands.

"Brunner's gland hyperplasia": Hypertrophy of Brunner's glands in the submucosal layer of the duodenum.

It is assumed that gastric metaplasia arises from the necks of Brunner's glands and is the result of a persistently high concentration of acidity in the duodenal bulb.

Normal - with villus to crypt ratio greater than 2:1, in the presence or absence of Brunner's glands above the muscularis mucosa, but without any increase in the numbers of inflammatory cells.

Brunner's glands (or duodenal glands) are compound tubular submucosal glands found in that portion of the duodenum which is above the hepatopancreatic sphincter (Sphincter of Oddi).

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a single chain polypeptide that is secreted by submandibular glands, Brunner's glands in the duodenum, Paneth cells of the small intestine, and other exocrine glands, including the pancreas.
