Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is designed for anatomists and histologists. It delves into the anatomy of Brunner's glands, a group of glands initially identified by Brunner in 1679 as a kind of secondary pancreas. The glands are named after Brunner, who described their location in the duodenum and deduced their role in releasing mucus. Their function was further clarified by Wepfer, who observed that they secrete mucus when macerated in water. The author, drawing on their own research and that of others, provides an overview of what is known about the glands' form, distribution, and structural characteristics. The author also discusses the arguments for and against classifying them as mucous or serous glands and their possible relationship to the pyloric glands; they further examine their phylogenetic development. By so thoroughly examining these glands, the author situates them within a broader context of the study of glands, their evolution, and function. The book's in-depth exploration of Brunner's glands will prove valuable to researchers and those in the field.
