Gibneys + Dreyfus. - Histo Of Alimentary Canal Flashcards
How does The muscularis externa change depending on which part of the esophagus you are in?
Upper - all skeletal
Middle - half skeletal half smooth
Lower - all smooth
What kind of epithelium in the esophagus?
Stratified squamous
What type of epithelium does the stomach have?
Simple columnar with no goblet cells and villi. 3 layers of muscularis externa as opposed to the esophagus that had 2.
- Has pits and glands
What is the location called that we switch from stratified squamous to simple columnar?
Gastoesophageal junction
Cardiac of the stomach
- mostly mucous secreting glands
- glands are tubular, coiled, and perhaps branched
- 1:1 ratio of Piti to gland
Fundus of the stomach
- most colorful area due to staining o chief and parietal cells.
- 1:3 ratio of pit to glands
WHAT COLOR DO parietal cells stain? Chief cells?
Parietal - red stain
Chief - blue
What does a chief cell secrete?
Pepsinogen
What does an Inactive parietal cell secrete?
HCl, HCO3-, IF
- lots of mitochondria and tubules and vesicles termed the “membrane reserves”
Pyloric stomach
- mostly mucous secreting glands
- no chief or parietal cells
- glands are branched, coiled tubular glands with a wide lumen
- 3:1 pit to gland ratio.
What part of the stomach can you find the chief and parietal cells?
Fundus
Gastroduodenal junction
Stomach - no goblet cells
Duodenum - yes goblet cells
Stomach - no villi
Duodenum - yes villi
Stomach - 3 layers of muscularis externa
Duodenum - 2 layers of muscularis externa
Histological features of the SI
- goblet cells
- villi
- simple columnar epithelium
- crypts of Lieberkuhn
Plicae circularis
Sub mucosal folds in the intestines that increase surface area
KEy feature of the duodenum
Brunners glands - produce alkaline secretion to neutralize acidity of stomach.
- in mucosal layer
