GI Part 2 Flashcards
branches of coeliac trunk
- common hepatic arteries
- left gastric art
- splenic artery
(+L&R gastro-epiploic arteries)
venous drainage of stomach
left and right gastric vein > hepatic portal vein
left gastroepiploic vein > splenic > hepatic portal
right gastroepiploic > smv > hepatic portal vein
lymph node drainage of stomach (applicable to other structures)
coeliac LN > pre-aortic
SM LN > pre-aortic
IM LN > pre-aortic
JEJENUM vs ILEUM
JEJENUM:
- longer vasa recta,
- less fat
- prominent plicae circulares
ILEUM
- shorter vasa recta; more complex
- more fat
- less plicae circulares
- narrower and thin-walled

role of the pelvic floor?
act as muscular constrictors for anal orifice alongside int. and ext. anal sphincters
what kind of mucosal types exist along the GIT?
protective: oral, pharynx, oesoph., anal canal
secretory: stomach
abs: small intestine
abs/protective: large intestine
cell types in the gastric glands
GASTRIC PIT: surface mucous
ISTHMUS: parietal cells
NECK: neck mucous, stem cells, parietal cells
GASTRIC PIT: peptic, parietal cells, neck mucous cells, neuroendocrine
G cells found in pits in PYLORIC ANTRUM
Histology of small intestines
columnar absorptive found on villi = enterocytes + goblet cells
crypts of lieberkuhn in betweek villi
lamina propria: vasculature abs. products
- lacteals @ lymphatic capillaries
- peyer’s patches
Crypts of L
@ small intestine
floor of the crypts made of lamina propria
Paneth cells: eosinophillic (uniquely duodenal)
endocrine: secretin, somatstatin, serotonin
stem cells: replacing enterocytes
