Cells are produced at the crypt base and migrate upward along the crypt axis before being shed into the colonic lumen days later. [8] There are 5 to 6 stem cells at the bases of the crypts. [8] As estimated from the image in panel A, there are about 100 colonic crypts per square millimeter of the colonic epithelium. [10]
[1] A Lieberkühn reflector [2] (also known as Lieberkühn mirror [3] or simply Lieberkühn [2] [4]) is an illumination device for incident light illumination (epi-illumination) in light microscopes. It encircles the objective, with the mirrored surface facing towards the specimen. This allows illuminating an opaque object from the side of the ...
The gastrointestinal tract is composed of numerous cell types that are important for immune activation and barrier surface defenses. The gastrointestinal epithelium is composed of enterocytes, goblet cells, Paneth cells, enteroendocrine cells, tuft cells, and stem cells.
The Crypts of Lieberkühn (intestinal glands) are named for him; he first described these in detail in De fabrica et actione vollorum intestinorum tenuium hominis, in 1745. Beyond this, Lieberkühn produced optical instruments such as compass microscopes with Lieberkühn reflector , further developing the light microscope , which he had seen ...
For decades, it was believed that the main function of the glands is to secrete alkaline (bicarbonate-containing) mucus in order to: [citation needed] protect the duodenum from the acidic content of chyme (which enters the duodenum from the stomach), provide an alkaline environment which promotes the activity of intestinal enzymes,

Enterochromaffin (EC) cells (also known as Kulchitsky cells) are a type of enteroendocrine cell, and neuroendocrine cell.They reside alongside the epithelium lining the lumen of the digestive tract and play a crucial role in gastrointestinal regulation, particularly intestinal motility and secretion.
