| Comments |
"Like the small intestine, the colon contains
gut-associated lymphoid tissue. In man, there are approximately
339 Peyer’s patches (primary source) in the small
intestine, and approximately 12,000–18,000 follicles in the
large intestine (Langman & Rowland 1986, 1992 Gebbers
et al 1992 BNID 110512)." |
