EPITHELIAL ENDOCRINE CELLS OF THE COLON MUCOSA OF MAMMALS

Аннотация

The structure of the intestines of mammals and humans is very similar. The large intestine consists of the colon, cecum, sigmoid colon and rectum. The structure of the intestinal wall (regardless of the section) is usually divided into mucosal, submucosal, muscular and serous layers. The intestinal mucosa consists of single-layer columnar epithelium of the intestinal type. In mammals, the length of the colon varies and is mainly species-specific, reaching up to 1.4 meters in humans. In rats it is 35-47 cm.
