Gastrointestinal system Flashcards
Stratified Squamous areas
Oral
Cavity
Esophagus
Anal canal
Stratified Squamous role
Protection from abrasion
Simple columnar areas
Stomach
S.I
L.I
Simple columnar role
Secretion and absorption
Goblet cells
Unicellular glands
Columnar
Apical mucous granules
Basal nucleus
Multicellular glands
Epithelium invaginated forms glands
Simple and compound
Multicellular glands simple
Single duct
Multicellular glands compound
2+ ducts = increase SA for secretion
4 layers of GI tract
Mucosa
Submucosa
Muscularis (externa/propria)
Adventitia
Mucosa consist of
Epithelium
Lamina propria (FCT)
Muscularis mucosae
Muscularis mucosae function
Enhance absorption, secretion of glands
Submucosa consist of
Glands
Connective tissues
Blood vessle
Submucosa secretion regulated by
Submucosal nerve plexus
Enteric nervous system
Muscularis (externa/propria) consist of
Smooth muscle - 2 layers
Involuntary control
Muscularis (externa/propria) 2 layers of smooth muscle and between layers
Inner circular
Outer longitudinal
Myenteric plexus
Myenteric plexus
ENS
Regulate motility
Adventitia
FCT
If in peritoneal cavity, serosa lining
Oral cavity
Enzymes - start digestion
Lubication
Fauces -> oropharynx -> esophagus
Salivary glands
Connected to oral cavity via ducts
3 types
3 salivary glands
Parotid
Sublingual
Submandibular
Parotid
Serous fluid with amylase
Anterior, inferior to ear
Sublingual
Mucos
Below tongue
Submandibular
Mixed
Below mandible
Acinus
Cells in cluster
Acinar cells secrete
Amylase
Duct cells secrete
Bicarbonate
Esophagus
Highly folded submucosa and mucosa
Muscularis externa
Mucous
Esophagus muscularis externa
Move food bolus
First 1/3 = skeletal muscle
Middle = mixed
Last = smooth muslce
Esophagus mucous
Lubrication for food travel and protection
From glands with ducts
No goblet cells
Stomach location
Base of esophagus
Pass through diaphragm - esophageal hiatus
Lower esophageal sphincter
Prevent reflux through contracting
Omentum
Double layer of visceral peritoneum that connects one organ to another
Lesser omentum
Stomach to liver
Greater omentum
Stomach to transverse colon Adipose tissue (cushioning)
Pyloric sphincter
Control release of chyme into S.I
Storage (stomach)
Rugae - folded core of submucosa
Temporary fold = expansion to 1.5L
Mechanical digestion (stomach)
Muscularis
Drive food to S.I
Thicker in distal stomach
3 layers
3 layers muscularis (stomach)
Inner to outer
Oblique
Circular
Longitudinal
Chemical digestion
Mucous epithelia cells
Partietal cells
Chief cells
G cells
Partietal cells
Acid + intrinsic factor Pump ions (H+) Abundant mitochondria, central nucleus Folded = increase SA
Chief cells
Pepsinogen
Abundant rER
Apical zymogen granules
Basal nucleus
G cells
Hormones - gastin
Regulation (stomach)
Endocrine
Neutral
Endocrine regulation
Endocrine cells in mucosa
Gastrin and ghrelin secreted into bloodstream
Neutral regulation
ENS - local reflexes (primary)
CNS regulates ENS function
Pancreatic acinar cell
Apical zymogen granules
Basel nucleus
Abundant rER
Pancreas regulation of bile
Pancreatic duct at hepatopancreatic ampulla
Duodenal papilla projects into duodenal lumen
Bile release
Controlled by hepatopancreatic sphincter
Pancreas location
Head in duodenum Tail to spleen Posterior to stomach Duct into duoderal lumen Retroperitoneal
S.I 3 regions
Duodenum
Jejunum
Ileum
Duodenum
Where stomach emptys
Jejunum
Where majority of absorption occurs
Ileum
Longest, emptys into large intestine
S.I length
~6m
S.I arrangement
Retroperitoneal - initial part of duodenum
Intraperitoneal - jejunum, ileum
S.I held in place via
Mensentery
Allows movement
Prevents tangles, knots
Mesentery
Double layer visceral peritoneum
Connects organ to body wall
Contains arteries, vessels, nerves
Plicae Circulares
Permanent large folds
Core = submucosa
Villi
On surface of plicae circulares
muscularis mucosae
Core = FCT (lamina propria)
Villi muscularis mucosae
Contracts = villia move
Increase exposure to lumen and its contents
Villi
On surface of plicae circulares
muscularis mucosae
Core = FCT (lamina propria)
L.I retroperitoneal
Ascending
Decending
L.I intraperitoneal
Transverse
Sigmoidal
Microvilli
On apical surface
Microvilli brush boarder
Gycocalyx
