Brunner's Glands: Location and Function in the Duodenum, Not Nose
Correction: Brunner’s glands are located in the duodenum (proximal small intestine), not the nose.
- Secrete alkaline mucus that protects duodenal lining from acidic chyme.
- Produce epidermal growth factor (EGF) promoting mucosal healing.
- Secrete enzymes aiding digestion.
The nasal olfactory epithelium contains Bowman’s glands (olfactory glands), which secrete mucus to dissolve odorants. The source text erroneously placed Brunner’s glands in the nose.
