G.I.T. 1 Flashcards
3 identifiers for the esophagus
- submucosal glands
- mixture of sk. mus. and smooth mus.
- only adventitia b/c passes through thoracic mediastinum
rugae
submucosal folds of the stomach
3 identifiers of stomach
- no villi
- domed/pitted mucosa profile (cobblestone)
- little lamina propria due to dense mucosal glands
lumen to distal components of the mucosal tunic
epithelium, lamina propria (loose CT), muscularis mucosa
inward from the lamina, what are the muscularis externa components of stomach
oblique (fundus region), circular, longitudinal
stomach mucosal epithelium
simple columnar
defining feature of the duodenum
Brunner’s Glands- SUBMUCOSAL glands that make alkaline mucous (bicarbonate) to combat the acidity of the stomach chyme (pH 2 –> made to pH5)
defining feature of the ileum
Peyer’s patches
epithelium of colon
simple cuboidal (many goblet cells)
outer-most layer of the GI tube
adventitia- areolar CT that attaches to local viscera OR
serosa- serous-secreting simple sq. epith. that gives mesenteric support
cardiac glands
mucus-secreting in the beginning and end of esophagus, lamina propria mucosal layer
pyloric sphincter
thickening of circular smooth mus. between stomach and duodenum
Where are Auerbach’s (myenteric) plexuses found
muscularis externa
Modification unique to the colon
taeni coli- 3 bands of longitudinal muscularis externa
foveolae
separation from the gastric pit to the gastric glands
glands of esophagus and their locations
- cardiac- lamina propria (@ start and end of esophagus)
2. esophageal glands proper-submucosal
how many glands per gastric pit
