Summary

Examination of mucosa of the small intestine of albino rats and mice, fixed at various periods after death (from 15 minutes to 4 hours), as well as of mucosa and contents of the intestine, distended with physiological saline, demonstrated contrary to the existing opinion that these methods did not eliminate epithelial detachment from the underlying stroma. Investigations carried out showed that the relation of the epithelium the underlying stroma differed in various areas of the intestine. The view that epithelial desquamation is a physiological phenomenon connected with the secretory function of the stomach is maintained.
