Structural organisation of the rats' ileum

Abstract

The small intestine, particularly the ileum, is often negatively affected by endogenous or exogenous factors. Not the least important among the factors of exogenous origin belongs to food additives, which are widely used in the food industry not only to extend the shelf life but also to improve the organoleptic properties of food. Therefore, in our opinion, establishing the morphological structure of the normal ileum of rats will be the basis for further work to assess changes in this part of the small intestine under the influence of a complex of food additives.
