28
How do enterocytes seal off intercellular space from intestinal lumen?
intercellular junctions
29
What do goblet cells secrete?

32
What do M cells do?
they are antigen presenting cells that cover lymphatic nodules
33
Where do we find lymphatic nodules?
in the LP
34
What do they enteroendocrine cells of the small intestine produce?
same kinds of peptide hormones as the enteroendocrine cells of stomach (CCK, somatostatin, motilin, VIP)
35
WHat do paneth cells secrete?
antibacterial lysozyme
36
Where do we primarily find paneth cells?
in distal ileum
37
What does paneth cells regulate?
normal intestinal flora
38
What do stem cells do?
restore epithelium every 5-6 days
39
How often do paneth cells regenerate?
every 4 weeks
40
What cells of the mucosa of SI are highly eosinophilic?
Paneth cells!
41
Where will you find stem cells?
down into the neck of crypt of leiberkuhn/ intestinal gland
42
What do antimitotic drugs do?
cure cancer!
43
Which have a long life, paneth cells or stem cells?
paneth cells
44
Where will we find LP?
occupies the villi and in between intestinal glands (crypts of liberkuhn)
45
What does the LP contain?
CT, lymphoid tissue, villus lacteals, lymphoid nodules, intestinal gland/ crypts of lieberkuhn
46
What are the lymphoid nodules of the ileum otherwise known as?
peyer's patches in the ileum
47
What is the muscularis mucosae of the small intestine made up of?
ICOL smooth muscle
48
Where do we find submucosal glands in the GI tract?
only in duodenum and esophagus
49
What are the submucosal glands of the duodenum called?
Brunner's glands
50
What do Brunner's glands do?
produce alkaline mucin to neutralize HCL produces urogastrone that inhibits HCL production I.e neutralizes acid
51
Why are lacteals important to have in the LP?
They are important because no all things can be absorbed into circulatory system (like chylomicrons) so they must be transported via lacteals
52
Where do lymphatic nodules become large?
in distal ileum and appendix
53
What do you find in the submucosa? | What do you find b/w the layers of muscle of the muscularis externa?
submucosal plexus | myenteric plexus
54
When looking at a cross section, how can you tell you are looking at a crypt? Villus?
It looks like a donut | it looks like a pine tree
55
What are the principle functions of the large intestine?
reabsorption of electrolytes and water | elimination of waste
56
What is all considered the large intestine?
ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoidal, cecum, appendix, colon , rectum, anal canal
57
DOes the large intestine possess special mucosal folds?
NO
58
Does the large intestine have villi?
no
59
That bacteria in the large intestine produce what vitamins?
B12 and Vit K
60
What does Vit b12 function in?
hematopoiesis
61
What does Vit K function in?
coagulation
62
What produces copious amounts of mucus?
large intestine
63
What is the epithelium of the large intestine?
simple columnar epithelium
64
What kind of cells do you find numerous amounts of in the large intestine?
goblet cells
65
What are the three types of cells found within the large intestine besides endothelial cells?
goblet cells absorptive cells Some enteroendocrine cells
66
What are in the LP of the large intestine?
crypts of LBRKN | GALT
67
Do we have paneth cells or lymphatic vessels in the large intestine?
no
68
What do we have instead of lymphatic vessels in the large intestine?
we have lymphoid noduls
69
do we have a musclaris mucosa in the small intestine? In the large intestine?
yes | yes
70
What is the musclaris mucosae made up of?
ICOL
71
What are the components of the muscularis externa of the large intestine?
ICOL | tenia coli/ haustra
72
What do we find within the serosa and adventitia of large intestine?
appendices epiploicae
73
SInce the appendix has a mesoappendix what does this tell us?
it is peritoneal
74
What hangs off of the transverse colon?
greater omentum
75
The outter longitudinal muscularis layer have three bands that are called (blank)
taeniae coli.
76
HOw can you remember that the large intestine has the haustra, the appendices epiploicae and the taeniae coli?
Remeber the large intestine is gross. It is fat (appendices) so it needs to wear pants with an elastic band (taenia coli) and when it wears these pants it has fat roles (haustra) :)
77
Are the goblet cells of the large intestine the same as everyone elses goblet cells?
NO the large intestine is gross so its goblet cells are exceptionally disgusting
78
The surface of the colon that is against a pericolic gutter is covered in (blank). Every other part of the AC/DC is covered in (blank).
adventitia | serosa
79
What is the sigmoid colon and rectum covered in, serosa or adventitia?
adventita
80
What is the transverse colon covered in serosa or adventita?
serosa
81
What are the anatomical landmarks of the rectum and anal canal?
transverse rectal folds with some crypts
82
What are the three zones of the anal canal?
colorectal transitional squamos
83
What is the epithlium in the colorectal zone of the anal canal?
simple columnar to anal valves (pectinate line)
84
What is the epithelium of the transitional zone?
A variety stratified epithelium (distal to anal valves)
85
