Summary
Intestinal mucous membrane was examined in rats, killed at various periods after feeding. It was established that there exists a regular disturbance in the continuity of the epithelial surface in the duodenum and small intestines of rats, i. e. there is an accumulation of epithelial cells on the villi in the form of epithelial tubes. Later these tubes and cells from the peaks and the sides of the villi are separated from the epithelial surface. According to the morphological data these separated cells form the solid fraction of the intestinal juice in the intestinal lumen.
