Anatomy Lab Quiz #7 Flashcards
lumen
cavity/hole inside something (ex. blood vessel)
acini
small ball cluster, secretory cells surrounding ducts
duct
tube that transports secretions
composed of simple cuboidal epithilia
doughnut pattern
lobes
large, roundish division of an organ
lobule
small division of cells in an organ
great alimentary canal
stomach
small intestine
large intestine
*composed of 4 tissue layers “tunics”
serosa
thin tunic
simple squamous epithelium
surrounds organ
muscularis externa
lies next to Serosa
composed of 2 layers of smooth muscle
outer: longitudinally running muscle fibers around organ
inner: circulatory running muscle fiebers around organ
function of muscularis externa
muscle layers assisting with peristalsis: wave movt of food
-one layer has cigar like nucleus
-other has rounder nucleus
submucosa
next to muscularis externa, rather empty, few scattered nuclei, wavy collagen fibers, somtimes glandular tissues
mucosa
closest to lumen
3 layers of mucosa
muscularis mucosa: thin smooth muscle, dark pink bend
lamina propria: loose matrix of cells + ground tissue
epithileum: protects organ from contents in lumen
