which part of the small intestines is the peyer's patch found
Peyerâs patches are lymphoid tissues found in the wall of the small intestine. They are part of the mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT) and more specifically the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Although nodules of lymphatic tissue are found throughout the intestines in the small intestine larger collections of nodules exist and these are referred to as Peyerâs patches.
