Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brunner's glands are found in the duodenum and secrete an alkaline fluid that helps buffer the acidic chyme coming from the stomach, providing a more favorable environment for digestion and absorption. Paneth cells secrete antimicrobial peptides, absorptive cells absorb nutrients, microvilli increase surface area for absorption, and enteroendocrine cells secrete hormones.
