Q

How is the epithelium on the anterior 2/3 of the tongue different from the epithelium on the posterior 1/3?

A

Anterior- thin in ventral surface, thick with papillae on dorsal

Posterior- smooth epithelium which, except from the circumvallate papillae, lacks papillae. Has lymphoid aggregates in the submucosa. There are crypts.

Q

What is interesting about the muscularis externa of the stomach?

A

it contains an additional layer. This layer is oblique to the usual circular and longitudinal muscle layers and is located internal to the circular layer. This layer aids the churning action of the stomach.

17
Q

What happens at the gastroduodenal junction?

A

Transition from stomach mucosa to duodenal mucosa.

The inner circular layers of muscle thickens= pyloric sphincter

18
Q

What are the crypts in the small intestine called?

A

Crypts of Lieberkuhn

19
Q

What is contained in the submucosa of the duodenum?

A

Brunner’s glands- alkali producing glands

20
Q

Where is the tallest villi in the small interstine located?

A

Jejunum

21
Q

What are the permenant circular folds of the jejunum called?

A

The plicae circularis

Folds of the mucosa AND submucosa

22
Q

What charecterises the ileum?

A

Peyer’s patches in submucosa and lamina propria

23
Q

What are enterocytes?

A

Simple Tall comumnar epithelium with a brush border

Absoptive

24
Q

What are paneth cells?

A

At base of crypts- defensive

25
Q

What are goblet cells?

A

Produce mucin to protect epithelium and lubricate passage of material.

26
Q

What are neuroendocrine cells?

A

: Produce hormones that contribute to the control of secretion and motility.

27
Q

What are stem cells?

A

Found at the base of the crypts of Lieberkuhn, they divide to replenish epithelium.

28
Q

What are the two cell types in the large intestine?

A

Absorptive cells- removes salts and water

Goblet cell

29
Q

What is the name for the three strips of the longitudinal muscle in the large intestine?

A

teniae coli

30
Q

What happens at the rectoanal junction?

A

Transition from columar epithelium in the rectum to stratified squamous epithelium in the anal canal

31
Q

Where is the ganglia of the enteric nervous system located ?

A

In between the two muscle layers that make up the muscularis externa

32
Q

What is the nerve plexus at the muscularis externa of the gut called?

A

Myenteric plexus

33
Q

What is the network of neurons in the submucosa called?

A

The submucosal plexus
