digestive system III and IV Flashcards
name layers of general plan of digestive system
mucosa
submucosa
muscularis
serosa
describe mucosa of general plan
epi = continous with oral cavity, nonkeratinized strat squa epi
lp = loose ct
muscularis mucosae = separates mucosa from submucosa, muscle tissue, most developed in esophagus- see fibers
describe submucosa of general plan
loose or dense ct
describe muscularis of general plan
2 sublayers = internal circular and external longitudinal *smooth muscle nuclei, different sections
3 sublayers in stomach
describe serosa of general plan
called adventitia untill diaphragm
why does digestive system look wavy
due to fixation
describe submucosal glands
has many glands
esophageal/mucous
mucous glands called esophageal glands - lubrication for food stuff to slide down easier
describe esophageal glands
have duct that runs up through submucosa, muscularis mucosae and to lumen to release mucous in esophagus
describe the stomach
dilated segment of digestive tract
main action is to add an acidic fluid - pH 2 - to ingested food to transform it into a viscous mass called chyme
Secretes intrinsic factor - essential to absorb vitamin b12
produces hormones like gastrin - hormone for digestion
describe stomach mucosa
described as pits or glands = invaginations all along stomach - to increase SA - amount of space for cells to come into contact with food stuff- to breakdown
describe stomach epithelium
simple columnar
rest on bm
describe when esophagus empties into stomach
cardia - 1cm tiny area
fundus
body - gastic region, rest of stomach
Pyloric region = stomach ends, empties into duodenum of si
describe muscularis of stomach
3 layers
outer longitudinal
inner circular
Oblique layer - force to mix contents of stomach
makes food stuff acidic = chyme
describe stomach submucosa and serosa
dense and loose ct
not thin
serosa= connects stomach to visceral peritoneum
describe pits and glands
pits = cells very different from glands, closer to lumen
Glands = base of lumen
describe tight junctions - story of stomach
people used to think that tight junctions would erode - degrade and leak stomach acid - causes ulcers
but actually caused by helio bacter pylori
90% of ulcers can be cured by antibiotics
grad student took bacteria and got ulcers and took antibiotics and got better
name ratios for each region of stomach and why
cardia =1:1
pyloric = 2:1
gastric = 1:3
ratio based on length/size, guestimation
what is neck region
around where pit turns to gland
describe surface mucous cell
very important
carbohydrate rich, glycoproteins, describes as visible mucous - due to cloudy appearance
forms a thick viscous gel like coat, mucous super dense and thick, adheres to epithelial surface
high bicarbonate concentration = local buffering
columnar cells
most apical - makes mucous and protects stomach from stomach acid - neutralizes stomach acid at layer of mucosa
tight junctions, desmosomes, mucous granules - carb rich, glycoproetins, rests on bm
mitochondria, nucleus
electron dense
describe mucous neck cells
mucous much more soluble - protection
not as viscous or thick
want things to be able. to travel from base of gland to lumen
funnny shape
tight junctions on either side
secretory granules, central nuclei
stil protects from acidic environment of stomach
describe zymogenic - chief/peptic cells
tight junctions, bm, central nuclei, lots of er and golgi
Makes hormones or digestive enzymes = secretory granules
converts pepsinogen –> pepsin, breaksdown amino acid bond
makes enzymes to breakdown foot and fat- lipase
releases secretory granules into lumen of gland portion of epithelium
further breakdown in stomach or si - also these cells in si
describe argentaffin - enteroendocrine cells
argentaffin bc stain silver
argentaffin granules = gastrin, serotonin, histamine, VIP, glucagon and somatostatin
funky cell
Hard to see in h&E stain
central nuclei - rests on bm
makes hormones responsible for digestive tract
does not release contents into lumen but through bm into digestive tract
describe parietal - oxyntic cells
base of gland has many
looks like fried egg
have HCl
tight junctions, rests on bm
canaliculi - run through and have microvili = increase surface area of cell
describe intrinsic factor
if none = problem making blood
vitamin b12
pernicious anemia
what are atrophic gastritis
antibodies attack parietal cells and no intrinsic factor and b12 absorption = leads to pernicious anemia
