An Algorithmic Approach to Diagnosis
Duodenum
January 2009
This is a cross-section of the duodenum. The villus cells occupy the apical portion of the duodenal epithelium; they are primarily engaged in absorption. Crypt cells, on the other hand, occupy the cryptic portion of the duodenal epithelium and are primarily nutrient storage cells.
