GI Histology Flashcards
Whomst is a Parietal cell?
A cell found in the middle of a gastric gland, it secretes hydrochloric acid.
Kpuffer cells– no, excuse me, Kupffer cells, what are those?
A type of endothelial cell that holds excess carbon and maintains liver function.
They’re a kup fer yer excess carbon.
Whomst is the Chief cell?
The Chief cell is found at the base of a gastric gland, it secretes pepsinogen.
Pepsi-no-gen? Well, they do say that coke and pepsi are so acidic that they can melt steal girders or whatever, so maybe that’s an appropriate name after all.
How can you identify esophagus tissue?
The only correct answer: You identify it by it’s given pronouns.
- Stratified squamous ET in mucosa
- Numerous mucous glands in submucosa
- Muscularis has skeletal and smooth muscle
How can you identify stomach tissue?
The only correct answer: You identify it by it’s given pronouns.
- Muscularis has three layers (oblique, circular, longitudinal)
- Columnar epithelium tissue in mucosa
- Gastric pits
- Gastric glands
The fuck is a hepatocyte?
Is this a D&D class? Sounds like a shitty cleric.
Liver cells between the spokes of hepatic lobule.
Never sure about the grammar around these parts, would it be the spokes of A heptic lobule, or is the hepatic lobule such celebrity that there’s no confusion what you’re talking about, but not famous enough to change it’s first name to “The”?
Where’s the central vein of the hepatic lobule?
Watch out this is a REAL headscratcher. Fuck, what could the answer even be???
It’s … it’s in the center of the hepatic lobule, mate.
Whomst is Cell?
What is the Muscularis?
Typically two layers of smooth muscle, inner circular and outer longitudinal.
Muscular-is also the name of the new prius marketed specifically to gym dudebros.
Where are all my endothelial cells at???
Endothelial cells line the sinusoids.
What is the function of Gastric Glands?
(The answer to this one is as dur as you may think it is.)
The Gastric Glands create Gastric Juices.
Then they go home to their gastric wife and three gassy children and reminesce about the old days.
“Gastric glands proper (principal glands) are found in the fundus/body of the stomach. The cells of these glands produce around two litres of gastric juice a day. The mucus secreting pyloric glands are only associated with the pyloric antrum and cardiac glands are located only within the cardia of the stomach.”
How can you identify small intestine tissue?
The only correct answer: You identify it by it’s given pronouns.
- Columnar epithelial tissue in mucosa
- Villi
- Microvilli
- Intestinal glands / crypts
- Lymphatic nodule (only in ileum)
Microvilli sounds like Villi’s lil sidekick. Their funny lil guy. Their little haha man. Their personal clown. Weird that the large intestine only has microvilli. Do they answer to the Villi of the small intestine? Is that how this operation works? Are the intestines like, unionized? Or something?
Describe a sinusoid.
Thin-walled blood vessels that create spokes of hepatic lobule.
Why do they call it sinus-oid? I’m mad.
What does the Hepatic Artery do anyway?
It brings oxygenated blood into the liver.
Presumably the Hepatic Artery also lets it leave so it can get home before curfew but who knows what happens in a body, right?
What does the Hepatic Portal Vein do anyway?
It carries blood to different parts of the liver.
I would say that the “Portal” part gives that away, but the Hepatic Artery also takes stuff from one place to another so fuck my brilliant ideas I guess
