Q

Why are the walls of the large intestine weaker, relative to the small intestine?

25
Does the large intestine contain villi?
no
26
What happens to the tenia coli in the rectum?
Splays out to form another complete layer to the externa
27
What epithelum comprises the large intestine?
Simple columnar with increasing density of goblet cells
28
What happens to the number of goblet cells as you progress through the large intestine?
Increase in number
29
Which has a well developed brush border: small or large intestines?
Small
30
What is characteristic of the glands of the large intestine compared to the small intestine?
Intestinal glands are more numerous and longer
31
True or false: the lymphatic vessels are well developed in the large intestine
False
32
What layer are the lymphatic channels in, in the large intestine?
lamina propria
33
How do lymphatic channels spread in the large intestines?
Radially
34
Are there M cells and lymphatic patches in the large intestine?
Yes
35
Does the appendix have villi?
No
36
Which layer are the lymphatic nodules in, in the appendix?
Lamina propria and submucosa
37
Does the appendix have teniae coli?
No--has two complete layers like small intestine
38
The mucosa of the appendix resembles (blank), whereas the muscularis resembles (blank). [small/large intestine]
The mucosa of the appendix resembles the large intestine, whereas the muscularis resembles the small intestine.
39
What makes the appendix and illeum similar? Different?
``` Similar = lymphatic tissue Different = no villi ```
40
What are the two mechanisms that can bring about appendicitis?
Fecaltihs | Infection of wall
41
Will the muscularis of the rectum have two complete layers to the muscularis externa?
Yes
42
What are the three permanent folds of the rectum? What layers comprise these?
Transverse rectal folds (valves of Houston) Comprised of mucosa, submucosa, and muscularis externa
43
What is the line that divides the anal canal from how it is derived during development?
Pectinate (detate) line
44
Above the pectinate line, what are the layers derived from? Below?
Above =Hindgut | Below = Proctadeum
45
What is the innervation above and below the pectinate line?
``` Above = ANS Below = Somatics ```
46
Where does lymph from below the pectinate line drain to? Above?
Above = abdominal lymphatics Below = Superficial inguinal nodes
47
What is the epithelium above the pectinate line?
Above = Simple columnar with goblet cells Below =
48
What are the anal column?
longitudinal folds of submucosa and mucosa
49
What are the anal valves and sinuses?
Valves/sinuses located between distal and adjacent anal columns
50
What/where is the internal hemorrhoidal plexus?
Venous plexus in the submucosa above the pectinate line
51
What are the anal cushions?
Musoca of CT, smooth muscle, and blood vessels in the anal canal that function in anal continence
52
Where are the three anal cushions located when looking at the anus in a supine position?
Left lateral Right anterior Right posterior
53
What is the clinical significance of the anal cushions?
Where hemorrhoids develop
54
What is the epithelial composition below the pecinate line?
Stratifed squamous keritinized
55
What is the white line of Hilton?
Transition area in the anal canal that separates the internal and external anal sphincter
56
What is the function of the anal sinuses?
Glands empty into these spaces
57
What is a fistula in ano?
Abscess formed fistula that connects the external surface of the anus to the rectum
58
What are the two major reasons that the wall of the sigmoid colon is weak? What is the clinical significance of this?
Blood vessel penetration Incomplete transverse muscularis externa Diverticula
59
What is the difference of false and true diverticula?
True = Involve all layers of the intestinal wall False = just mucosa and submucosa
60
How do colonic polyps develop?
Robust proliferative activity of colonic cells
61
What are the two architectural patterns that colonic polyps can form? Which one is more likely to become invasive?
Tubular | Villous (invasive)

D2-40
64
What part of the GI tube can Crohn's disease impact?
Anywhere from mouth to anus
65
Where is ulcerative colitis located?
Large intestine and perhaps the distal ileum
66

Fistula
67
What is Hirschsprung's disease? What does it cause, and where is this issue ALWAYS found?
Aganglionic colon d/t incomplete migration of neural crest cells. Causes megacolon in the rectum
