21
Q

2 portions of the gastric mucosa

A

folds (rugae) and pits (slits between the rugae. are opening of glands)

22
Q

cells and epith charact in the gastric mucosa

A

SIMPLE columnar epithelium: surface mucous cells (rugae and pits. pits = openings of glands) and secretory mucous cells (for glands extending within the LP)

23
Q

charact of the muscularis mucosa in the stomach

A

instead of 1 longitudinal layer, has inner circular and outer longitudinal

24
Q

charact of submucosa in stomach

A

Meissner’s plexus (PSS for glands)

25
charact of tunica muscularis in stomach
inner oblique middle circular outer longit (Auerbach's plexus between middle and outer)
26
serosa in stomach
visceral perit made of CT + layer of mesothelial cells (epith like but derived from mesothelium)
27
cardia vs pylorus
cardia: pit to gland length is 1:1 pylorus: pit to gland length is 2:1
28
cardia and pylorus: different mucous cells
surface mucous cells (surface and pit) | secretory mucous cells (glands)
29
fundus and body pit to gland length ratio
1:3 (glands very long) | cardia is 1:1 and pylorus is 2:1 (pit longer)
30
diff between glands in cardia/pylorus and fundus/body
fundus and body glands can't branch and are straight
31
ONLY thing mucosa of fundus/body has in common with mucosa in cardia/pylorus
both have pits that have surface mucous cells
32
layer between pit and gland in fundus and body + fct
isthmus. has stem cells (mitosis). make all the cells in the epithelium
33
other cell type in isthmus + why are diagnostic
parietal cells. also in the gland but not in pit. so parietal cell = isthmus and gland
34
2 portions of the glands in body and fundus + their cell types
neck: mucous neck cells base: parietal cells (oxyntic cells), zymogenic (chief) cells, endocrine cells
35
mucous neck cell charact
columnar, pale, granular, foamy cytoplasm, produce mucin
36
zymogenic (chief) cells charact
very basophilic
37
parietal (oxyntic) cells charact
big, acidophilic, canaliculi
38
surface mucous cells charact (EM)
- microvilli - lot of mts - granules on apical side with neutral mucin + bicarb
39
mucous neck cells charact (EM)
- narrower apical side. wide base. | - acidic mucin that protects gland neck from enzymes of the base
40
isthmus stem cells: how to diff from mucous neck cells
stem cells = no granules | mucous neck cells = granules
41
zymogenic (chief) cells charact (EM)
- granules that secrete zymogens (proenzymes) and enzymes: pepsinogen, lipases, rennin - tight junctions for enzymes not to go between cells
42
rennin of zymogenic (chief) cells fct
enzyme that coagulates milk. important for digestion of milk in babies by pepsin and lipases
43
enteroendocrine cells (argentaffin cells) charact (EM)
wider base. base is where stuff is secreted (inversed polarity): secretes granules towards LP
44
hormones from enteroendocrine cells + 2 important
*gastrin (stim HCl from parital cells) *Sts (inhibits HCl by parietal cells) histamine VIP glucagon serotonin
45
parietal (oxyntic) cells charact (EM)
isthmus to base. large cytoplasm. 2 canaliculi. lot of microvilli, lot of mts
46
parietal cells chemical processes happening
- takes Cl- from base and puts it out in lumen (Cl-bicarb exchanger) - makes H+ from CA and puts it in lumen in exchange for K+ (bicarb made from CA taken out by Cl-bicarb exchanger)
47
what drives the energy necessary for parietal cell secretions + summary of transporters
NaK ATPase on basal surface base: NaK ATPase + Cl-bicarb exchanger surface: H-K exchanger
48
parietal cells other important secretion + clinical significance
make intrinsic factor for B12 abso. autoimmune disease where parietal cells destroyed = atrophic gastritis and pernicious anemia
49
how to see surface (pit) cells on histo
(surface mucous cells) simple columnar, tall and nuclei at base
50
how to see parietal cells on histo (isthmus and gland)
acidophilic cytoplasm, centeal nucleus
51
stomach submucosa
dense irregular CT, Meissner's plexus
52
name of tumors of enteroendocrine cells
carcinoid tumors
