Histological Aspects of Brunner’s Glands in Chinchillas (Chinchilla lanigera)

Abstract: Since their discovery, Brunner’s glands have been an attractive subject of research. The study aimed to investigate the structure, the topography, and the degree of development of the Brunner’s glands in chinchillas through light microscopy. Transversal fragments from the duodenum of 5 chinchilla males were histologically processed by classical paraffin technique. Brunner glands are much more developed and proportionally, they occupy at least three times more space than the Lieberkuhn glands. In many places, B… Show more

“…The muscularis mucosae in guinea pigs is formed by smooth muscle cells disposed longitudinally (Kamikawa et al, 1985;Kerr, 2002). In some species, exocrine glands are present in the lamina propria and submucosa (Rus et al, 2018).…”
