GI Histo II Flashcards
Mucosa in the large intestine has what kind of epithelium
Simple columnar with abundant goblet cells & lymphoid nodules
Does the mucosa of the large intestine have folds or villi
NO
Taenia coli instead of the outer longitudinal muscle layer is located here in the large intestine
Muscularis externa
Has epiploic appendices in the large intestine
Serosa/adventitia
What are the components of the large intestine
Ascending, transverse, descending, & sigmoid colon; upper anus & cecum
Narrow lumen with abundant lymphoid nodules in the submucosa that can infiltrate the lamina propria
Vermiform appendix (no taenia coli)
Mucosa of the anal canal is different upper vs lower by how
Upper - simple columnar epithelium
Lower - stratified squamous epithelium
Submucosa of the anal canal has large _____
Apocrine sweat glands & sebaceous glands
The muscularis externa of the anal canal is different upper vs lower by how
Upper - smooth muscles to from the internal anal sphincter
Lower - skeletal muscle from the puborectalis muscles that forms the external anal sphincter
Function: moisten & lubricate food for swallowing
Salivary gland
What are the three major salivary glands
- Submandibular
- Sublingual
- Parotid (largest)
How to tell the difference in slides of the salivary gland cells: serous vs mucous
Serous - dark & dense, organized as acinus or demilune
Mucous - wispy clouds, tubular organization
Short, cuboidal cells in the salivary glands
Intercalated ducts
Joining of several intercalated ducts; radial striations extend from base to nucleus within the cell (salivary gland cell)
Striated duct
Large diameter, large lumen, stratified cuboidal cells, outside of lobules (salivary gland cell)
Excretory duct
