Q

what is the distribution of papillae on the tongue?

A
  • Ant 2/3 tongue = filiform with scattered fungiform

Q

Describe the structural organization of the salivary glands

Q

What is the difference between intercalated ducts and striated ducts?

A

Intercalated ducts are simple cuboidal and secrete and abs to modify secretion

Striated ducts are simple cuboidal to simple columnar and striations are caused by basal plasma membrane and aldso modify secretions

Q

Controls mucosal movement, vascular diameter, secretion of mucosal and submucosal glands of GI tract

A

Submucosal plexus

32
Q

What are the 4 concentric layers of the wall of the alimentary canal

A

Mucosa, submucosa, musclaris externa, serosa/adventitia

33
Q

3 principal functions of the mucosal layer of the GI tract

A
  1. Secretion (lubrication and digestive enzymes)
  2. Absorption (vit, H2O, electrolytes, bile, cholesterol, important metabolic substrates)
  3. Protection: (barrier)
34
Q

Functions of submucosa of GI tract

A

Contains blood and lymph vessels, nerve plexus, occasional glands

35
Q

Functions of the muscularis externa

A

Inner circular layer contracts to compress and mix contents while outer longitudinal layer contracts to propel food
= peristalsis

36
Q

Forms sphincters along digestive tract

A

Inner circular layer

37
Q

Describe the epithelium of the esophagus

A

SSE nonkeratinized

38
Q

Contains GALT

A

Muscosa

39
Q

Contains esophageal cardiac glands

A

Mucosa (mucous glands at upper and lower esophagus)

40
Q

Contains mucous secreting tuboaveolar glands

A

Submucosa

41
Q

Contains esophageal glands proper

A

Submucosa

42
Q

type of muscle in muscularis externa in the esopagus

A

skeletal (upper 1/3) and smooth (lower 2/3)

voluntary to involuntary

43
Q

what are rugae

A

large longitudinal gastric folds that assist in digestion (mucosa and submucosa)

44
Q

What type of epithelium lines the stomach

A

columnar epithelium

45
Q

in what later are gastric glands found?

A

lamina propria of the mucosa

46
Q

forms the core of the rugae

A

submucosa

47
Q

what are gastric pits?

A

invaginations of mucosal surface into the lamina propria forming “holes” in the gastric surface

48
Q

what does surface mucosal cells produce?

A

alkaline mucous to protect stomach lining

**in large mucinogen granules

49
Q

has acidophillic granules and secrete pepsinogen

A

chief cells

50
Q

are acidophillic and secrete HCl

A

parietal cells

51
Q

what cells secrete intrinisic factor

A

parietal cells

52
Q

enteroendocrine cells secrete gastric hormones into the ____

A

lamina propria (these cells are found in the gastric glands which reside in the lamina propria)

53
Q

gastric glands secrete there secretions into the gastric lumen via the

A

gastric pits

54
Q

what cells reside in the gastric glands

Q

large eosinophillic pyramidal shaped cells

A

parietal cells

56
Q

chief cells are (acidophillic or basophillic)

A

basophillic

57
Q

where are the stem cells of the stomach found?

A

isthmus (new cells will move up to become mucos cells are move down to become gland cells

Q

do parietal, chief cells, or enteroendocrine have a longer life span?
