Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The duodenal glands in the duodenum secrete alkaline mucus that helps to neutralize the acidic chyme coming from the stomach. The gastric glands secrete acid and enzymes in the stomach, not in the duodenum. The intestinal glands in the small intestine secrete enzymes but do not neutralize acidity. Peyer's patches are lymphoid nodules located in the small intestine that play a role in immunity, but not in neutralizing acidity.
