10/6 Histology Flashcards

1
Q

how do plica increase surface area

A

3 fold by increasing the folds in the epithelium, present in colon, added to with villi in the small intestine, and even with folds in the submucosa in the small intestine

Q

how are lipids handled in the lumen of the small intestines?

A

lipids will be emulsified by the bile acids, and difuse into the enterocytes and then made into triglyceride plus protein cover structure called chylomicron that is then diffused out of the cell and into the lymphatic capillary.

early in the duodenum
27
where are vitamin and B12 and GIF and bile salts absorbed?
Late, and in the ileum
28
where do digestive enzymes come form?
most from the exocrine pancreas, and from absorptive columnar cells containing a set of hydrolases on the brush border involved in end-stage digestion: disaccharidase, dipeptidase, etc.
29
found near the base of the glands unlike the stomach where they are near the top of glands
stem cells
30
control muscularis externa, if damaged motility is disrupted and swelling occures (hischsprung disease)
Myenteric plexi (auerbach's plexi)
31
regulate muscularis mucosae and DNES cells
submucosal (meissner's) plexi
32
describe the colon
has an epithelium and a lamina propria and none of the long villi that are in the small intestines
33
long section of the smooth muscle in the colon below the lamina propria these are non-uniform patches of smooth muscle!
taeniae coli -- unique to the colon
34
a pouch off of the cecum
vermiform appendix
35
vermiform appendix
doesn't have a taeniae coli, therefore has very uniform smooth muscle layers
36
lots more of these type of cells in the colon to provide more protection and less absorption
goblet cells
37
why is there such a potential for diarrhea?
there is such a large flow of water accross the colon normally! about 50L/d
38
involves the disruption of the homeostatic interactions between mucosal epithelium, ummune system, and bacteria
inflammatory bowel disease
39
aggregates of multi-nucleated cells in the sub-mucosa or lamina propria
granuloma formation
40
what does a granuloma formation mean?
a longterm inflammatory response in the bowl
41
what would indicated extensive damage in a tissue (such as the appendix?)
eroded epithelium, hemorrhaging of blood where it shouldn't be, and lots of lymphocytes
42
where is the brush border?
in the enterocytes or the absorpative columnar cells
43
how does AA get into and out of the enterocytes?
Na+/AA co transporter in. AA Carrier out
44
what are the components of the terminal bar?
tight junctions/zonula occludens and zonula adherens
45
what are the general layers of the intestine from the lumen down...
1. Enterocytes, goblet cells, paneth cells, and enteroendocrine cells 2. Lamina propria 3. Muscularis Mucosae (1-3 are all the Mucosa) 4. Submucosa 5. muscularis externa 6. Adventitia or serosa
46
Describe white adipose tissue
unilocular (one fat drop) white fat that is abundant, about 20% of weight (higher in women), localizes as you age.
47
Describe brown adipose tissue
present at birth (5% of weight), decreases with age, multiocular brown fat
48
where does brown adipose come from?
arises form embryonic precursors that also give rise to skeletal muscle (paraxial mesoderm), express Myf5...this is the classic location brown fat in infants
49
where does white fat come from?
arise from the division of pericyte-like cells (Myf5 - negative cells) from the division of the pericyte-like cells.
50
generates heat
brown fat
51
one fat globular vs. multi blobs of fat
unilicular vs. multilocular
52
what are pericytes?
they are cells that are associated with small blood vessels
53
where does beige fat come from?
found in white fat and can be induced by adrenergic stimulation; (Myf5- negative)
54
what is adrenergic stimulation?
epinephrin and neuroepinephrin
55
describe brown fat
they have multiple lipid stores and lots of mitochondria to produce heat, by allowing protons to move through the membrane of the mitochondria without making ATP (uncoupling) and this produces heat.
56
why do babies have brown fat in the neck?
to heat blood to the brain
57
what do beige adipocytes do?
they get stimulated by cold and/or adrenal stimulation from white adipocytes and start to burn energy up like brown adipocytes.
58
how could we possibly lead to the production of brown fat (beige fat cells) from white fat
Cold epinephrin/neuroepinephrin exercise may also convert it to brown fat via hormone irisin (possibily)
59
what is cachexia
a wasting that occurs in cancer patients, that may be due to the production of cytokines like IL6 that can convert white fat to beige fat cells.
60
the functions of white adipose tissue
store lipids, buffer plasma lipids (remove excess chylomicrons from the blood), and secrete hormones (endocrine activities)
61
Explain the general cycle of fatty acids between adipocytes and capillaries
lipoprotein lipase causes the release of chylo. and VLDL in the form of free fatty acids to the adipocytes that generate triglyceride. then the hormone sensitive lipase can break the triglyceride down to release free fatty acids and fre glycerol phosphate back to the capillaries to be transported by albumin in the blood (transport free fatty acids)
62
the liver version of a chylomicron
VLDL
63
how do we get lipoprotein lipase in the capillary?
produced by adipocyte, secreted, transcytosed, and bound to the endothelial cell surface.
64
what would stimulate the synthesis and delivery of lipoprotein lipase to the capillary to absorb more fat?
insulin
65
endocrine function proteins from the adipocytes
Leptin, and Adiponectin
66
what does leptin do?
macronutrient homeostasi (food intake and energy expenditure) It lowers appitite and increase activity
67
where does the leptin act to reduce apitite and increase activity?
hypothalamus
68
what does adiponectin do?
it is a insulin sensitizing adipokine; decrease lipid accumulaiton and increase glucose uptake in muscles; avoid fat buildup in the liver; lots of other great effects! (anitdiabetic, anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory and cadioprotective porperties!)
69
Leptin:
communicates information on sufficiency of energy supply; secretion increases as fat stores increase involved in energy homeostatsis also interacts with immune system, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis, bone development
70
Adiponectin:
modulates several metabolic processess secretion decreases as fat stores increase enhances insulin sensitivity of the liver stimulates fatty acid and glucose utilization in muscle Inhibits macrophage activity, stimulates angiogenesis
71
imparied ability to stimulate peripheral glucose uptake and suppress hepatic glucose output
insulin resistence!
72
what happens to mice that have no white adipose tissue?
they quickly become insulin resistance and type two diabetes. Therefore, if you have too much or too little white adipose tissue then you get type two diabetes.
73
how could white adipose help prevent diabetes?
by acting as a lipid buffer to the blood. if you don't buffer it out then you get a build up of lipid in the muscle and the liver
74
what if you have lots of lipid in the muscle?
triggers signaling cascade that inhibits insulin-stimulated translocation of GLUT4 to the surface, reducing glucose uptake and therefore leaving lots of reactive glucose in the blood
75
what if lots of fat in the liver?
inhibits insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis and reduces insulin-suppression of gluconeogenesis.
76
how can the expansion of adipose tissue lead to damage and insulin resistance?
Obesity leads to enlarged adipocytes that down lipid buffering capacity - ectopic fat deposit and insulin resisitence -or- enlarge adipocytes - increase hypoxia and death and down TAG (triAcyl Glycerol) clearence - ectopic fat and insulin resisitence -or- increase in hypoxia - can't secrete the right cytokines or adipokines - death of adipocytes - increase macrophage infiltration and ectopic fat deposition and - insulin resistance
