folds in the form ofcrescentic projections of the mucous membrane, placed transverselyto the axis of the bowel, at a short distance from one another(valvulae conniventes or valves of Kerkring). The whole surface,including the valvular folds, is closely beset with villi, of varyinglength, cylindrical in the jejunum, filiform in the ileum (Fig. 41),which enormously increase the intestinal surface. The mucouscoat of the large intestine is smooth, and destitute of villi(Fig. 42). Between the villi of the small intestine, in every part, arethe simple tubular glands, Lieberkiihns crypts, which resemblethe fingers of a glove, the orifices being somewhat dilated at the II EXTERNAL DIGESTIVE SECRETIONS 123 extremity. These crypts are more numerous in the large intestine,owing to the absence of villi (Fig. 42). The epithelium by which the crypts are lined is exactlysimilar to that which clothes the surface of the villi. It consistsof irregular columnar cells, with a large nucleus, and striated
