| Description |
This is a high magnification image of a duodenal villus showing the core of lamina propria. The lamina propria contains many capillaries for absorption of digested nutrients, as well as immune system cells to counter ingested microbes. This epithelium contains mucous secreting goblet cells, as well as absorptive cells (or enterocytes) which display a brush border made up of microvilli. UCLA Histology Collection. |
