Digestive Histology Flashcards
Digestive function
Ingestion Sectretion Mixing propulsion Digestion mechanical and chemical Absorption Defacation barrier Immune
Pharynx
Passageway for air and food
Nasopharynx- ciliated psuedostratified columnar epithelium
Oropharynx- nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Larnygopharynx- nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Alimentary canal structure
Mucosa -Epithelium - stratified squamous or simple columnar -Lamina propria- LCT -Muscularis mucosa Sub mucosa Muscularis externa Serosa or adventitia
Myenteric nerves
Auerbachs plexus
Nerves for the alimentary canal
Inner gates smooth muscles
Esophagus
Nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Muscularis externa
- upper third skeletal
-lower third smooth muscles
Serosa (after T10) and adventitia
Mucous glands
-esophageal glands proper (submucosa)more higher up
-esophageal cardiac glands (lamina propria by stomach)
Stomach
Cardio Fundus Body Pylorus -pyloric Antrum -pyloric canal -pyloric sphincter Has rugae to expand during meals
Stomach glands
Cardiac glands- primarily mucous
Funding glands - cells that secrete HCl and pepsin
Pyloric glands-‘primarily mucous, longer than cardiac
Stomach wall modifications
Simple columnar epithelium Create gastric pits- simple branched tubular glands Muscularis externa -outer longitudinal -middle circular - inner oblique Serosa
Fundic glands
Surface mucous cells
Mucous neck cells
Parietal cells- HCl and intrinsic factor
Chief cells- pepsinogen and gastric lipase
G cells- hormone gastrin=triggers other cells, enteroendocrine cells
Small intestine
Duodenum
Jejunum
Illeum
Large surface area, long 10 ft
Plicae circularis- leaf shaped in duodenum
Villi
Microvilli, striated border of Stereocilia
Small intestine wall modifications
Absorptive cells or enterocytes Goblet cells Crypts of lieberkuhn - tubular glands - paneth cells -enteroendocrine cells -stem cells Submucosa - Duodenum= brunners gland for alkaline mucous Serosa after descending papillae pf duodenum
Paneth cells
Secretes lysozyme and capable of phagocytosis
Deep in crypts of Lieberkuhn
Brunners glands
Mucous glands
In duodenum
Produce alkaline mucous
Lacteals
Blood vessels that fill the villi of the small intestine
Peters patches
Lymphatic cells nodules which are found in the ileum
M cells specialized epithelial cells that detect antigens
Large intestine
Mainly electrolytes in water
No plicae circularis and no villi
Teniae coli- longitudinal smooth muscle bands
Haustra- pockets in the large intestine
Omental appendages- fatty tissue of Serosa
Large intestine wall modifications
Simple columnar epithelium Crypts of lieberkuhn -tubular glands -absorptive cells or colonocytes -Goblet cells -Enteroendocrine cells -stem cells Lymphoid GALT Serosa or adventitia
