Electron microscopic changes associated with water absorption in the jejunum

A Wynn Williams
PMCID: PMC1413411  PMID: 14000823

Abstract

With the electron microscope, mucosal changes induced by the instillation of water into a segment of jejunum of rats were observed. The animals had been deprived of food and water for 24 hours.
