adult posterior midgut epithelium [FBbt_00007036]
A columnar - cuboidal epithelial monolayer with a brush border consisting predominantly of large polyploid enterocytes tied together by smooth septate junctions. Scattered through this epithelium are clusters of diploid intestinal stem cells and occasional enteroendocrine cells. (Ohlstein and Spradling, 2006, Baumann, 2001, Miller, 1950)
