All of the statements are true about ileum EXCEPT:: (A) Smaller diameter than jejunum, (B) 3-6 arcades in continuation, (C) Large circular mucosal folds, (D) Lymph nodes in mesentery
Answer is C. ILEUM:- Circular mucosal folds are smaller ,fewer and thin walled. Ileum has narrower lumen, as compared with jejunum. There are 3 or 6 aerial arcades with no windows. Lymphatics drain into the lymph nodes in the mesentery and finally drain into superior mesenteric nodes.
