Q

Where is the Second Nerve plexus located?

A

Between Muscular layers - the Myenteric Plexus

22
Q

Describe the 4th Outermost Layer of the Tract, what are the 2 divisions?

A

Serosa and Adventitia, delimits alimentary canal and covers muscularis

23
Q

Describe the Serosa?

A

Also called Visceral Peritoneum, connective tissue with simple squamous epithelium that lines majority of small + large intestine

24
Q

What Parts of the Intestine(s) does the Serosa not line?

A

Duodenum and Colon

25
Q

What is the Epithelium component of the Serosa?

A

Mesothelium

26
Q

What is the Mesentary?

A

A double layer of Visceral Peritoneum

27
Q

Describe the Adventitia?

A

Layer connected to surrounding tissue made up on fibrous connective tissue

28
Q

What is the Stomach?

A

Digestive organ and Reservoir

29
Q

What are the 4 Anatomical Regions of the Stomach?

A

Cardia
Fundus
Corpus
Pylorus

30
Q

Describe the Mucosa of the Stomach?

A

Muscularis mucosae circular and longitudinal muscle fibres

31
Q

Describe the Muscularis Externa?

A

3 Layers - Oblique, Circular, Longitudinal

32
Q

Describe the Gastric Mucosa of the Stomach?

A

Has Columnar Epithelium and Rugae (gastric folds) which are visible when the stomach is empty, Has Gastric pits that shallow surface depressions

33
Q

Describe the Tubular Gastric Glands of the Gastric Mucosa in the Stomach?

A

Open into gastric pits, occupy entire mucosa and contain mucus producing cells - the mucus forms a sheath to protect against acid

34
Q

Describe the Gastric Glands at Cardiac?

A

Heavily branched and Mucus producing glands

35
Q

Describe the Principle Glands of the Corpus-Fundic of the Gastric Mucosa?

A

Mucus neck cells, have Chief cells - zymogenic (produce enzymes)
Parietal Cells - oxyntic (secrete acid)
Entero-endocrine cells (secretion secretion in other cells)

36
Q

Describe the Pyloric Glands of the Gastric Mucosa?

A

More coiled than principle glands, no chief cells and more frequent endocrine cells

37
Q

Describe the Mucosa of the Small Intestine?

A

Contains- Pilicae, Intestinal Villi, Microvilli on enterocytes

38
Q

What does the Plicae of the S.Intestine Mucosa do?

A

Increase surface area x3 - permanent structure absent at start of duodenum

39
Q

What does the Intestinal Villi of the S.Intestine Mucosa do?

A

Increase surface area x10 , the main cell type is Enterocytes (absorptive function)

40
Q

What does the Microvilli on Enterocytes do?

A

Increase Surface area by x20

41
Q

Describe the Tubular glands of the Mucosa of the S.Intestine?

A

Secrete Intestinal Juice, Paneth cells at base of crypt to secrete/control infection, from base of villi to muscalris

42
Q

Describe the Goblet cells of the Mucosa of the S.Intestine?

A

Secrete Mucous

43
Q

Describe the Muscularis Mucosae of the Mucosa of the S.Intestine?

A

2 Layers and extend into Villi

44
Q

Describe the Regeneration of Intestinal Epithelia of the Mucosa of the S.Intestine?

A

Epithelial cells turnover time 1% a hour, undifferentiated stem cells at base of crypt, divide and move up

45
Q

Describe the Muscularis Externa of the Muscularis layer of the S.Intestine?

A

Circular and longitudinal layers covered by serosa

46
Q

What is the Purpose of the Large Intestine?

A

Frames Small intestine and Reabsorbs water and inorganic salts

47
Q

Describe the Mucosa of the L.Intestine?

A 
Smooth surface (no plicae or villi)
Crpyts of Lieberkuhn 
Goblet Cells (more numerous)
Few endocrine cells
Thin Lamina Propria
2 Layers of Muscularis Mucosae
48
Q

What does the Serosa of the Large Intestine do?

A

Forms small pouches filled with adipose along the intestine

49
Q

Describe the Muscularis Externa of the Muscularis layer of the L.Intestine?

A

Longitudinal muscle layer forms 3 flattened strands

50
Q

Describe 2 Flattened strands of the Muscularis Externa of L.Intestine?

A

TC - Taenia Coli
HC - Haustra coli (sacculations of the colon)
Fold in response to contractions
