Lieberkühn's glands
Also known as:
Lieberkühn's crypts
Lieberkühn's follicles
Associated persons:
Johann Nathanael Lieberkühn
Description:
Simple tubular glands which open into the intestine, present in the mucous membrane of the small and large intestines.
Lieberkühn described the glands in 1745, but they were first discovered by Marcello Malpighi (1628-1698) in 1688 and were described anew by Johann Konrad Brunner (1653-1727) in 1715 and by Dom Mar. Gusman Galeazzi (Galeati) (1686-1775) in 1731.

Since Malpighi discovered the intestinal glands in 1688, we assume this is the reference work.
