Q

Describe the structural organization of the salivary glands

A

Acini of mucosal cells or serous cells covered in myoepithelical cells that when contracted will force secretions of acini into intercalated ducts and striated ducts

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

25
Distinctions of the 3 salivary glands (types of acini)
Parotid is purely serous acini Submandibular is mixed but mostly serous Submandibular is mixed Sublingual is mixed but mostly serous
26
What is a serous demilune and what gland(s) contain it?
In submandibular glands: serous cells forming a cap over the mucinous acini
27
Buffers content in oral cavity
Bicarb | **in saliva
28
Digestive enzymes present in saliva
Amylase and lipase
29
Role of saliva in health of teeth
Has protein that forms a protective film | Contains Ca and PO4 for minetalization of teeth
30
Are Abs preset in saliva
Yes
31
Controls mucosal movement, vascular diameter, secretion of mucosal and submucosal glands of GI tract
Submucosal plexus
32
What are the 4 concentric layers of the wall of the alimentary canal
Mucosa, submucosa, musclaris externa, serosa/adventitia
33
3 principal functions of the mucosal layer of the GI tract
1. Secretion (lubrication and digestive enzymes) 2. Absorption (vit, H2O, electrolytes, bile, cholesterol, important metabolic substrates) 3. Protection: (barrier)
34
Functions of submucosa of GI tract
Contains blood and lymph vessels, nerve plexus, occasional glands
35
Functions of the muscularis externa
Inner circular layer contracts to compress and mix contents while outer longitudinal layer contracts to propel food = peristalsis
36
Forms sphincters along digestive tract
Inner circular layer
37
Describe the epithelium of the esophagus
SSE nonkeratinized
38
Contains GALT
Muscosa
39
Contains esophageal cardiac glands
Mucosa (mucous glands at upper and lower esophagus)
40
Contains mucous secreting tuboaveolar glands
Submucosa
41
Contains esophageal glands proper
Submucosa
42
type of muscle in muscularis externa in the esopagus
skeletal (upper 1/3) and smooth (lower 2/3) | voluntary to involuntary
43
what are rugae
large longitudinal gastric folds that assist in digestion (mucosa and submucosa)
44
What type of epithelium lines the stomach
columnar epithelium
45
in what later are gastric glands found?
lamina propria of the mucosa
46
forms the core of the rugae
submucosa
47
what are gastric pits?
invaginations of mucosal surface into the lamina propria forming "holes" in the gastric surface
48
what does surface mucosal cells produce?
alkaline mucous to protect stomach lining | **in large mucinogen granules
49
has acidophillic granules and secrete pepsinogen
chief cells
50
are acidophillic and secrete HCl
parietal cells
51
what cells secrete intrinisic factor
parietal cells
52
enteroendocrine cells secrete gastric hormones into the ____
lamina propria (these cells are found in the gastric glands which reside in the lamina propria)
53
gastric glands secrete there secretions into the gastric lumen via the
gastric pits
54
what cells reside in the gastric glands
chief cells, parietal cells, enteroendocrine cells, stem cells, and mucous cells (at the neck of the gland)
55
large eosinophillic pyramidal shaped cells
parietal cells
56
chief cells are (acidophillic or basophillic)
basophillic
57
where are the stem cells of the stomach found?
isthmus (new cells will move up to become mucos cells are move down to become gland cells
58
do parietal, chief cells, or enteroendocrine have a longer life span?
parietal (6 mos) > chief cells and enteroendocrine (3 mos)
59
diff between rugae and gastric glands/pits
rugae are elevations that contain mucosa and submucosa whereas pita are just invaginations of the mucosa only
60
what are the 4 modifications of the intestinal wall that allows it to increase surface area for absorption
1. plicae circulares 2. villi 3. crypts of lieberkuhn 4. microvilli
61
What are plicae circulares
transverse folds in mucosa that have a core of submucosa (increases SA 3 fold)
62
in what section of the small intestine are the plicae circulares more common
jejunum
63
villi increase the SA ___ fold and microvilli increase SA ___ fold
``` villi = 10 fold microvilli = 100 fold ```
64
Surface epithelium has indentations (arrows) that lead to
crypts of lieberkun
65
what causes the movement of the microvilli?
actin contracts to contract terminal wweb and spread the microvilli
66
the primary absorptive cell, found on the villi, the general surface and in the glands
enterocytes
67
enterocytes are attached to neighboring cells by
tight junctions
68
in the glands, the enterocytes also secrete
water and electrolytes
69
found in the base of crypts, basal basophilia, intensely acidophilic granules in the apical region !
paneth cells
70
what do paneth cells secrete?
lysozyme (digests bacterial cell wall) and other anti-bacterial surfaces
71
overlie lymphatic nodules!
M cells
72
comprise most cells in the lower half of the gland!
intermediate cells (stem cells)
73
cells in the epi of the small intestine that can phagocytose certain bacteria and protozoa
paneth cells
74
endocytose microorganisms and macromolecules from intestinal lumen and discharge them into the underlying lymphatic tissue
M cells
75
stopped at pg 25
lamina propria of SI
