Brunner's glands are located in the submucosa of the duodenum. They are distinct from the glands found in the mucosa of other intestinal sections.

Paneth cells are specialized secretory cells located at the base of the Crypts of Lieberkuhn in the small intestine.

Succus entericus, or intestinal juice, is primarily secreted by the Crypts of Lieberkuhn. While Brunner's glands contribute alkaline mucus, the term succus entericus specifically refers to the secretion from the crypts.

Crypts of Lieberkuhn are simple tubular glands that extend into the lamina propria of the small intestine.

Brunner's glands are found exclusively in the submucosa of the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine.

Crypts of Lieberkuhn are found in the small intestine and secrete various components of the intestinal juice, including enzymes and mucus.

Brunner's glands secrete an alkaline, bicarbonate-rich mucus that protects the duodenal mucosa from the acidic chyme coming from the stomach.

Enterogastrone inhibits gastric secretion, while gastrin stimulates it. Pancreozymin and cholecystokinin stimulate pancreatic and bile secretions, respectively.

Valves of Kerckring, also known as plicae circulares, are large circular folds of the mucosa and submucosa found in the small intestine to increase surface area for absorption.

Digested lipids (fatty acids and monoglycerides) are re-esterified into triglycerides within the intestinal epithelial cells. These are then packaged into chylomicrons and absorbed into the lacteals.
