31
Q

Tunica mucosa in the esophagus

A

Strat. squamous non-keratinized in man and dog
Strat. squamous keratinized in all other domestic species

32
Q

Submucosa in esophagus

A

Mucous glands
Short cranial segment of horse, cat and ruminants
Cranial half only in pig
Throughout the dog

33
Q

T. Muscularis in esophagus

A

Skeletal throughout dog and ruminants
Skeletal in first two-third, mix of smooth and skeletal in middle , then smooth distally in other species

34
Q

Serosa/adventitia in esophagus

A

Serosal covering in the thoracic and abdominal part
Adventitial in the cervical part

35
Q

How is the stomach classified?

A

Simple, compound monogastric and compound polygastric

36
Q

Simple stomach

A

Rugae (mucosa and submucosa), gastric pits, simple columnar with mucus cells (secrete alkaline)
Glands in lamina propria
TJs

37
Q

Simple stomach in the dog and cat

A

No cutaneous

38
Q

Simple stomach in the pig

A

Largest cardiac
Small cutaneous part (strat. squamous keratinized)

39
Q

Simple Stomach in the horse

A

Very large cutaneous part
Demarcation with the glandular part (margoplicatus)

40
Q

Compound stomach

A

Rumen, reticulum, omasum: cutaneous part modified to form papillae, fermentation of cellulose to form volatile fatty acids
Abomasum: structurally similar to simple stomach

41
Q

What are the functions of the simple stomach?

A

Continue the digestion of carbohydrate
Add acidic fluid to the food
Transform the food into a chyme
Promote the initial digestion of proteins with enzymes pepsin and secrete hormones

42
Q

What are the 3 regions of the simple stomach?

A

Cardia, fundus, pylorus

43
Q

How long does it take mucous cells to be replaced?

A

every 3-4 days

44
Q

What cell types are present in the simple stomach?

A

Mucous cells
Chief cell (zygomatic)- pepsinogen
Parietal cell
Argentaffin cell (gastrin and secretin)

45
Q

Parietal cell

A

Secretes HCl

46
Q

What are the protective mechanisms for the stomach?

A
  1. Alkaline mucous surface coat
  2. Alkaline intestinal fluid
  3. Fully developed junctional complexes
  4. Regeneration of epith.
  5. Vomiting reflex
  6. Immunological defense
47
Q

Fundic glands

A

Predominant gastric glands
Has a isthmus, neck and base
Has all cells

48
Q

Stem cells of the fundic gland

A

Found in isthmus and neck regions
Continuously divide
Replace aging cells of the gastric epith.

49
Q

Parietal cells of the fundic gland

A

Large, eosinophilic, triangular, upper half of fundic gland
Many mitochondria and intracellular canaliculi
Secrete HCL

50
Q

What stimulates HCL production

A

Gastrin and parasympathetic stimulation

51
Q

Chief cells

A

Lower half of fundic gland
Basophilic cytoplasm and zymogen granules
Secretes pepsinogen

52
Q

Argentaffin (enteroendocrine) cells

A

Diffuse endocrine cells (APUD)
Bases of gastric glands
Secretes gastrin, secretin, cholecystokinin

53
Q

Cardiac glands

A

Localized in a narrow zone around and near the esophageal opening into the stomach
Mostly mucous cell types, some parietal
Occupy half in pig

54
Q

What is the function of cardiac glands?

A

Mucus production that protects the esophageal lining from gastric HCL

55
Q

Pyloric glands

A

Almost half of the stomach in dog and cat
Only mucus cells
Deeper gastric pits
Branched and coiled glands

56
Q

What is the function of the pyloric glands?

A

Produce mucus

57
Q

Rumen

A

Cutaneous mucosa forming finger-like conical papillae

A

Cutaneous mucosa and submucosa form primary and secondary folds
Function is to breakdown food
