Verified step by step guidance1
Peyer's patches are small masses of lymphatic tissue found throughout the ileum region of the small intestine.
They play a crucial role in the immune system by monitoring intestinal bacteria populations and preventing the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the intestines.
Peyer's patches are part of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), which is involved in the generation of immune responses to antigens present in the gut.
The small intestine is divided into three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. Peyer's patches are primarily located in the ileum.
Understanding the location and function of Peyer's patches helps in comprehending how the immune system protects the body from intestinal infections.
