GI Flashcards
4 basic layers throughout GI tract - in to out
- mucosa - lining epithelium
- submucosa - loose CT
- muscularis externa - smooth muscle for peristalis
- serosa/adventitia - outer layer of CT
features of esoph. adventitia/serosa
adventitia in thorax, serosa in abdo
- espohageal plexus
muscle type of esoph muscularis
moves from striated in upper third to all smooth muscle in lower third
contents of esoph. submucosa (2)
- submucosal glands
2. vascular plexus
cell types of esoph muscosa
non-keratinazed stratified squamous
4 parts of stomach
- cardia
- body
- fundus
- pyloric antrum
feat of stomach muscularis (2)
2 layers
- inner circular layer
- oblique layer in body
feat. of submucosa of stom.

cell types of mucosa of stom.
simple columnar epi on lamina propria
6 cell types of stom. mucosa and their productions
- surface cells - none
- neck cells
- patietal cells - HCl and intrinsic factor
- chief cells - digestive enzymes
- enteroendocrine cells - hormones
- stem cells - more cells
feat. of small intestine submucosa (3)
- plicae circularis - folds of mucosa and submucosa
- mucous glands in duodenum
- peyers patches (lymph) in illeum
cell types of epi of small int. mucosa
simple columnar with brush border of microvillae
7 cell types of mucosa of small int. and function
- enterocytes - absorb digestive products
- goblet cells - mucous
- paneth cells - secrete lysozyme and a-defensin
- enteroendocrine - hormones
- lymphocytes
- M cells - sample contents to give to lymphocytes
- stem cells
3 features of small int. lamina propria
- peyers patches
- capillary plexus
- lacteals - lymph caps. that pick up fat
feature of large int. serosa
