16
Q

Small Intestine (Adventitia/Serosa)

A

Mainly serosa

17
Q

Large Intestine (Mucosa)

A

Intestinal glands with goblet cells and absorptive cells

18
Q

Large Intestine (Submucosa)

A

No distinguishing features

19
Q

Large Intestine (Muscularis)

A

Outer longitudinal layer separated into three bands, the teniae coli

20
Q

Large Intestine (Adventitia/Serosa)

A

Mainly serosa, with adventitia at rectum

21
Q

Anal Canal (Mucosa)

A

Stratified squamous epithelium; longitudinal anal columns

22
Q

Anal Canal (Submucosa)

A

Venous sinuses

23
Q

Anal Canal (Muscularis)

A

Inner circular layer thickened as internal sphincter

24
Q

Anal Canal (Adventitia/Serosa)

A

Adventitia

25
Q

Pancreas

A

Mixed exocrine and endocrine gland
Produces digestive enzymes and hormones
-Exocrine function: 1.5L of alkaline pancreatic juice per day into the duodenum; proteases, amylase, lipases
-Endocrine function: insulin, glucagon and somatostatin

26
Q

Liver

A

Main digestive function is bile production
Hepatocytes:Key cells
Functionally diverse: synthesis of plasma proteins, conversion of aa into glucose, produce urea, storage of glucose/vitamin A/iron

27
Q

GI Tract 1/6

A

Interfaces with outside world to absorb things

  • Function: acquire nutrient molecules from food and eliminate indigestible remnants
  • Secondary function: maintain barrier between contents of lumen (toxins,bacteria) and rest of body
  • Functional tissue is epithelium (varies by location in tract)
28
Q

GI Tract 2/6

A

Oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, anal canal: protective mucosa, characterized by abrasion-resistant stratified squamous epithelium

29
Q

GI Tract 3/6

A

Stomach: secretory mucosa, epithelial glands specialized to secrete acid and digestive enzymes, as well as mucous to protect itself from acid and enzymes

30
Q

GI Tract 4/6

A

Small intestine: absorptive columnar mucosa interspersed with goblet cells; responsible primarily for absorbing digested nutrients
-Epithelial specializations include folding (plicae and villi) and apical projections (microvilli) to increase surface area for absorption

31
Q

GI Tract 5/6

A

Large intestine: absorptive/protective mucosa, specializes in water absorption (columnar cells) and mucous secretion (goblet cells)
Especially in large intestine, tight junctions are actually selectively permeable to allow for movement of water and ions

32
Q

GI Tract 6/6

A

Underlying epithelium: stroma of GI tract includes loose connective tissue (lamina propria), smooth muscle (muscularis mucosa), dense fibroelastic connective tissue (submucosa), more smooth muscle (muscularis externa), and more loose connective tissue (serosa or adventitia)
-Lamina propria+muscularis mucosa: serve as closely related support/localized movement for epithelium and together make up mucosa
