colon, rectum, anal Flashcards
lrg. Intestine wrapped around
small intestine
connection of the illeum and colon
ileo cecal fold flaps
ileocecal fold flaps
Sm. musce extending from ileum ME
Tension to maintain closed to regulate movement and stop bulk flow
Cecum has an open or blind end and location
Blind end
Distal to ileocecal junction
Cecum histologically similar to which organ
Colon
Which organ attached to cecum?
appendix
Appendix histology
Diff. colon
Lrg. number lymphatic nodule extended to submucosa
M cells cover lymph node
-smp. columnar w/ no microvilli
-Spec. move. of prot. and bact. from lumne of appendix
:under line dendritic APC and lymphatic tissue
-peryers patches in ileum
4 layers but cnt see lymphatic cells
Lrg. intestine structures
Teniae coli=longitudinal sm. muscel band -shorter than colon -create outpockets=haustra coli :ie sacculation Omenta appendices=outer portion -fatty serosal projections Semilunar folds=created by contraction -not ~ circular plicae
Colon histological layers
Mucosa -Simp. col. epith. -goblet cells -LP -MM Submucosa -submucosal plexus ME -Inner circular -auerbach's plexus -outer longitudinal Teniae coli
Colon-Epith.
Function=absorption, excretion (prod. w/in colon)
No folds or villi
Coloncytes
-reabsop. H2O and electrolytes
:dwnstream incre. solid content b/c decre. H2O
-incre. goblet cells to help push solid contents dwn stream
-~ enterocytes but dnt excrete enzyme
Colon-LP
Crypts of lieberkuhn -goblet cells -coloncytes (absorpt.) -enteroendocrine cells -no paneth cells Collagen table -around COL and @times hard to find -thick collagen layer and proteoglycan b/w basal lamina and fenestrated absorptive cap. Gut assoc. lymph. tissue(GALT) -Extensive and well develop b/c incre. microbial colon content :potential dangerous solid waste -cont' w/ ileum GALT Lymphatic vessel near crypt base -no lacteals
colon-muscularis externa
2 sm. muscle layer(~ sm. intestine) -inner circular and outer longitudinal layer Teniae coli (long sm. muscle)
Colon-serosa/adventitia
~ sm. intestine lrg. BV, N Adipose tissue Dense CT Serosa=simp. cub/sq. epith.
Rectum location
distal digestive tract
rectum-feature
incre. luman (more than colon)
