Question

Match the following structures with their respective location in organs:

Column 1	Column 2
Crypts of Lieberkuhn	Pancreas
Glisson’s Capsule	Duodenum
Islets of Langerhans	Small intestine
Brunner’s Glands	Liver

Answer 1

A. Crypts of Lieberkuhn (iii) Small intestine Crypts of Lieberkuhn are also called succus entericus. The crypts of Lieberkuhn are the tubular glands that lie between the finger-like projections of the small intestine called villi. The cells of these glands are called paneth cells, which secrete antibacterial lysozyme.

B. Glisson’s Capsule (iv) Synthesis of lipids ‘Glisson’s capsule’ is the capsule of the liver. It is a layer of connective tissue surrounding the liver and enclosing the hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile ducts within the liver.

C. Islets of Langerhans (i) Pancreas The pancreatic islets or islets of Langerhans are the regions of the pancreas that contain its endocrine (hormone-producing) cells. The most common islet cell, the beta cell, produces insulin, the major hormone in the regulation of carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism.

D.Brunner’s Glands (ii) Duodenum Brunner’s glands are located in the submucosa of the duodenum. They secrete an alkaline fluid containing mucin, which protects the mucosa from the acidic stomach contents entering the duodenum
