What are the layers of the gut wall from the inside to the outside?
Mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa and serosa
Description of the layer of the gut wall: epithelium(absorption, lamina propria(support) and muscular mucosa(motility)
mucosa
What part of the mucosa is responsible for motility?
muscularis mucosa
What part of the mucosa is responsible for support?
lamina propria
What part of the mucosa is responsible for absorption?
epithelium
What layer of the GIT contains the myenteric nerve plexus?
muscularis externa
What layer of the GIT contains the Meissner plexus?
submucosa
What layer of the GIT contains the auerbach?
muscularis externa
What is the difference between the Serosa and the Adventitia?
Serosa is intraretroperitoneal and adventitia is retroperitoneal
What is the difference between ulcers and erosions when considering the layers they invade in the GIT?
ulcers can invade the submucosa, inner or outer muscular layer. Erosions are in the mucosa only.
