GI tissue Flashcards
4 layers of GI
- Mucosa
- Submucosa
- Muscularis externa
- Serosa
3 components of mucosa
Epithelium
Lamina propria
Muscularis mucosa
GALT located in
Lamina propria of mucosa
2 layers of muscle in muscularis externa
Inner ciruclar
Outer longitudinal
Meissner’s plexus
- interconnected network of ganglia and nerves located in submucosa
- Responsible for intrinsic motility of the lining of GI tract
Auerbach’s plexus
network of neuronal ganglia located between 2 muscle layers of muscularis externa
Cells/function located in body and fundus of stomach
- Mucus cells
- Cheif cells: secrete pepsinogen and lipase precursor
- Parietal cells: Secrete HCl and intrinsic factor
- Enteroendocrine cells
Cells of pylorus of stomach
- Mucous cells
- Parietal cells
- EE cells
Brunner glands found in
Duodenum
Cells/function in dueodenum
- Goblet cells: Secrete acid glycoproteins that protect lining
- Paneth cells: granules that contake lysozyme
- EE cells
HCL secretion stimulated by
Gastrin
ACh (from Vagus)
Histamine
HCl inhibited by
Low pH
Prostaglandins
Chyme in duodenum via GIP and Secretin
Pepsinogen secretion simulated by
- ACh (from vagus)
- Gastrin
- HCl
Gastrin secretion stimulated by
- Small peptides/aa
- Vagus (via GRP)
- Stomach distention
CCK source
I cells of duodenum and jejunum
CCK secretion stimulated by
- Fatty Acids, monoglycerides
- Small peptides and AA
Action of CCK
- Stimulates GB contraction and relaxes sphincter of Oddi
- Increase pancreatic enzyme secretion
- Inhibits gastric emptying to aid in digestion
Secretin source
S cells of duodenum
Secretin secretion stimulated by
Decrease pH in duodenal lumen
FA in duodenal lumen
Action of Secretin
- Increase pancreatic HCO3 secretion
- Increase bile production
- Decrease gastric H secretion
GIP source
K cells of duodenum and jejunum
GIP secretion stimulated by
- Glucose
- FA
- AA
Action of GIP
Increase insulin release
Decrease gastic H secretioin
GI stem cells located in
Isthmus
Carbohydrate digestion
Pancreatic amylase completes the hydrolysis of polysaccharides to disaccharides that is initiated by salivary amylase in the mouth
Protein digestion
Pancreatic enzymes, trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase and carboxypeptidase mediate further digestion to small peptide fragments
Fat digestion
- Pancreatic lipase digest
- Then combine with bile salts to form miscelles
- Then attaches to chylomicrons
Contractile wave stimulated by
ACh and Supbstance P
What is absorbed by colon
Na and water
What is secreted into colon
K and HCO3
External anal sphincter innervated by
Pudendal N
Valsalva maneuver
Intra-abdominal pressure is increased due to voluntarly relaxed external anal sphincter
Feeding center of Hypothalamus location
Lateral Hypothalamic area
Satiety center of Hypothalamus location
Ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus
CCK-A receptor location
Periphery
CCK-B receptor location
Brain
CCK affect on appetite
Reduce
α-amylase in Saliva digests
Starch
What antibacterial is found in Saliva
- Lysozyme
- lactoferrin
- Defensins
- IgA
Parotid gland location
Lie on surface of masseter muscles in the lateral face, in front of each external auditory meatus
Parotid glands drain via
Stensen’s duct
Stensen’s duct opens
above the second upper molar tooth
What type of gland is Parotid gland
Entirely serous
Submandibular gland location
Lie inside the lower edge of mandible
Submandibular gland drian via
Wharton’s duct
Wharton’s duct opens to
The base of tongue
What type of gland is the submandibular gland
both serous and mucous but mainly serous
What pancreatic enzymes catalyze conversion of Proteins to peptides
Trypsin
Chymotrypsin
What pancreatic enzyme catalyzes conversion of peptides to aa
Carboxypeptidase
What pancreatic enzyme breaks down starch and glycogen
Amylase
What pancreatic enzyme breaks down phospholipids
Phospholipases A and B
Basal cells of hepatocytes form
Bile canaliculi
Portal triad/portal tract consists of
Hepatic A
Portal V
Bile duct
What is the portal lobule
- a triangular structure with a central v at each orner and a portal tract in the center
- Bile flows from the periphery of the portal lobule into the central triad
What is Zone 1 hepatocytes involved in
Glycogen synthesis and plasma protein synthesis
Zone 3 hepatocytes are most involved in
Lipid, drug and alcohol metabolism and detoxification
Ito cells are
Stellate cells that live in the space of disse
Contain fat and are involved in storage of fat-soluble vit (vit A)
What is responsible for scarring of liver
Ito cells secreting Type 1 collagen in response to injury
