duodenal gland in dogs

A compound tubular submucosal gland found in that portion of the duodenum which is above the hepatopancreatic sphincter (Sphincter of Oddi). The main function of these glands is to produce a mucus-rich alkaline secretion (containing bicarbonate)[WP]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the duodenal gland is

A compound tubular submucosal gland found in that portion of the duodenum which is above the hepatopancreatic sphincter (Sphincter of Oddi). The main function of these glands is to produce a mucus-rich alkaline secretion (containing bicarbonate)[WP]. The atlas records it as a gland at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the duodenal gland is

It sits within the digestive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the duodenal gland connects to

The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of duodenum and exocrine system.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the duodenal gland. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as Brunner's gland, gland of Brunner, submucosal gland of duodenum, glandula duodenales and glandula duodenales Brunneri. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
