GI Tract I Flashcards
GI layers
Mucosa
Submucosa
Muscularis externa
Serosa or Adventitia
subdivisions of GI mucosa
lining eipthelium,
lamina propria,
muscularis mucosae
functions of GI mucosa
protection, absorption, secretion
contents of GI mucosal lamina propria
blood and lymphatic vessels,
lymphatic tissue,
wandering connective tissue (plasma cells, eosinophils)
where would plasma cells and eosinophils be found in GI tract
mucosal lamina propria
function of mucosal muscularis mucosae
smooth muscle, forms ridges and valleys for absorption and secretion
layer of GI tract with dense irregular connective tissue, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and Meissner’s nerve plexus
submucosa
in what organs does the GI submucosa have glands
duodenum, esophagus
where is Meissner’s plexus found in the GI tract
periphery of the submucosa
function and structure of HI muscularis externa
- smooth muscle: inner circular and outer longitudinal layers
- contraction = mix and propel intestinal contents
contraction of this GI layer mixes and propels intestinal contents
muscularis extrna
where is Auerbach’s plexus found
between inner circular and outer longitudinal layers of smooth muscle in GI muscularis externa
serosa
simple squamous mesothelium is present
adventitia
part of digestive wall is fixed to abdominal or pelvic wall
contents of GI serosa/adventitia
connective tissue,
blood and lymphatic vessels,
nerves
on what surface of the tongue are lingual papillae found
dorsal
4 types of papillae on tongue
filiform,
fungiform,
foliate,
circumvallate
what type of papillae on the tongue lack taste buds, and have a keritinized epithelium?
filiform
type of papillae with taste buds on their dorsal surface
fungiform
types of papillae with taste buds on their lateral surfaces
foliate, circumvallate
what glands are found in the mucosa of the esophagus
esophageal cardia glands - secrete mucous
epithelium of esophagus
stratified squamous, nonkeritinized
