Abstract
Counts performed on whole mounts of late embryonic and of adult chicken duodenum demonstrate that the number of villi present at these two stages of development is approximately the same. Growth occurs by increase in the size of the villi. The crypts of Lieberkühn increase greatly in number and depth, but change little in diameter.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
