GI Histology Flashcards
What type of epithelium lines the oral cavity
stratified squamous
What type of epithelium lines the esophagus
stratified squamous
What type of epithelium lines the stomach
simple columnar
What type of epithelium lines the intestines
simple columnar
which layer of the mucosa is home to a lareg number of leukocytes
lamina propria
What layer separates the mucosa from the submucosa
Muscularis mucosae
Miessner’s plexus is located where
In the submucosa
Muscle layers in the muscularis externa (exception: stomach)
Inner circular
Outer longitudinal layer
Aurbach’s plexus is located where
in the muscularis externa between the inner circular and outer longitudinal layer
Serosa vs Adventitia
Serosa = in the peritineal cavity Adventitia = outside the peritneal cavity (whispy fibers that blend with surrounding connective tissue)
Serosa is made up of what type of epithelium
Simple squamous
Which layers are missing in the oral cavity>?
Muscularis Mucosa
Muscularis Externa
Serosa/adventitia
Minor salivart glads
intrinsic
mucous secreting
branched tubular
mucous secreting glands of the oral cavity
mostly watery part of saliva not very many enzymes
lingual papillae of the tongue
Filiform
Fungiform
Circumvallate
Foliate
Filiform papilla
most abundant mostly anterior Highly keratinized Mechanical function (grab onto food) NO TASTE BUDS
Fungiform papillae
mushroom shaped most abundant near the tip of the tonge
taste bud located at apical surface
Circumvallate papillae
row of saucer shaved papillae that for the V in front of the terminal sulcus
tastebuds placed laterally within the surrounding moat
Von Ebners glands open at the base of the moat and secrete watery saliva to flush the moat
Foliate papillae
parallel ridge that run on the side of the tongue, laterally placed tased buds, moat with vonebners glands between the ridges
Cell types within tase buds
sensory - modified neuron
Support cells - fibroblasts
where are taste buds located
tongue (fungiform, circumvallate, foliate) oral cavity (glossopharyngeal arch, soft palate, Epiglottis)
Functions of Saliva
lubricates oral cavity
Digestive enzymes (amylase -cabs, lipase- fats)
Antibacterial
Immune - IgA
Source of calcium and phosphate ions essential for normal tooth development
Are major salivary glands intrisnic or extrinsic
Extrinsic
Three components of major salivary glads
Stroma
Secretory part
Ductal system
three types of acini within the secretory part of major salivary glands
Serous Acini
Mucous Acini
Mixed Acini
