title: [Morphological characteristics of glands of the ileocecal angle sphincter region in adults].
abstract: Structural feature of the large intestine glands (Liberkun crypts), located in the thickness of the ileocoecal angle valve and in the zone of appendix valve were studied using macro-microscopic methods. The material was obtained from cadaveres of 28 men and women who died at the age of 60-67. The causes of their deaths were not associated with digestive or immune system pathology. Morphometric investigations performed revealed that the density of the glands arrangement in these sphincter zones of the large intestine ileocecal angle, the area occupied by them and their length both on cross and longitudinal sections exceeded the same parameters in the zone of the coecum cone in all the observations.
