rugae
what is this?
pits
what is this?
villi
what is this?
crypts
what are these?
big circle = plicae

what is the square and the circle?
circle: crypts
square: villi
what is the arrow pointing at?
the tunica submucosa
what does the submucosa do?
it facilitates motility of the submucosa
how do you call the submucosa if there is no lamina muscularis present?
lamina propria/sumbucosa
what layer is the box?
submucosa
the muscularis layer can be two types of muscle, what are these?
smooth and skeletal muscle
what is the layer of the square?
muscularis layer
how many layers does the muscularis layer have?
2 : outer and inner muscular layer
what does the muscular layer do?
controls lumen size
what important structure is found in the muscular layer?
myenteric plexus
what is this?
the two layers of the muscular layer
what are the 3 boxes?
what is this layer?
serosa
where can we find serosa?
in organs that are suspended in body cavities
where is the serosa, adventitia instead?
organs covered in connective tissue
esophagus
rectum
vagina
name the layers
what is a plexus?
Elements of two ANS divisions & enteric NS in same location in wall.
what controls the effectors or glands and smooth muscle of an organ?
parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems
what are the arrows pointing out?
parasympathetic neuron cell bodies of myenteric plexus
how well does the esophagus heal?
not well
how many sphincters does the esophagus have?
2: upper and lower
what is this?
the esophagus
the mucosa of the esophagus contains what kind of epithelium?
what layers does the esophagus have?
non keratinized stratified
it contains:
epithelium
lamina propria
smooth muscle (muscularis mucosa)
what does the submucosa have?
glands that secrete mucous
what muscle is in the muscularis of the esophagus?
upper 1/3 muscularis is skeletal muscle
middle 1/3 is skeletal and smooth
lower 1/3 is smooth muscle
the lamina propria of the esophagus contains what?
esophageal cardiac glands
what is special of the muscularis mucosae of esphagus?
it is a single layer of longitudinally smooth muscle
what is the composition of the submucosa of esophagus?
dense, fibroelastic connective tissue that houses the esophageal glands proper
what is the name of the plexus between the longitudinal muscle layer and inner circular muscle layer?
auerbach plexus
what is this epithelium?
non-keratinized stratified epithelium
what does the lower esophageal sphincter do?
it prevents backflow of food and prevents stomach acids to rise
what part of the esophagus is this?
middle 1/3
where is this?
esophagus
what is happening here in the esophagus?
metaplasia
how many layers does the muscularis of the stomach have?
3 for proper mixing
what cells can be found in the fundus and body?
cells that secrete pepsinogen and HCL
what do the glands of the pylorus and cardia secrete?
mucous
what enzymes are produced in the stomach?
rennin, pepsin, gastric lipase
what are the 3 glandular regions of the stomach?
cardia
fundus
pylorus
this organ has longitudinal folds called…?
