  • In addition to the tube itself, there are three important glands that empty into the small intestine: the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas. (pressbooks.network)
  • It gets distributed to the wall of the stomach and stimulates the gastric glands to release the gastric juices. (preservearticles.com)
  • As for its secretory function, the mucous membrane layer has mucosal glands. (getaprofessor.com)
  • The Brunner glands, which empty into the intestinal glands, secrete an alkaline fluid composed of mucin, which exerts a physiologic anti-acid function by coating the duodenal epithelium, therefore protecting it from the acid chyme of the stomach. (wikipedia.org)
  • Although tick salivary gland components have been shown to potentiate virus infection in vertebrate non-reservoirs (i.e. incidental hosts or small animal models of disease), there is a lack of information on the effect of tick salivary gland components on viral infection and shedding in vertebrate reservoirs. (cdc.gov)
  • METHODS: To determine the impact of tick salivary gland components on KASV infection and shedding in ERBs, KASV loads were quantified in blood, oral swab, rectal swab, and urine specimens collected daily through 18days post inoculation from groups of ERBs intradermally inoculated with KASV or KASV+O. (R.) faini tick salivary gland extract (SGE). (cdc.gov)
  • CONCLUSIONS: We report for the first time to our knowledge that tick salivary gland components dampen arbovirus infection and shedding in a vertebrate reservoir. (cdc.gov)

  • Herein, we report a case of duodenal carcinoma arising from Brunner's gland in a 63-year-old man. (bvsalud.org)
  • 2 BGs however do not express GI hormones, and so DGASTs located in these glands must have a different tumor driver than found in other GI tumors. (biochain.com)
  • When Brunner Glands Are Not So Innocent Two cases of Brunner gland tumors are reported in which both patients present with melena and anemia, but one case is benign and the other is malignant. (medscape.com)
