occupies the villi and in between intestinal glands (crypts of liberkuhn)

45
Q

What does the LP contain?

Q

Where do we find submucosal glands in the GI tract?

A

only in duodenum and esophagus

49
Q

What are the submucosal glands of the duodenum called?

A

Brunner’s glands

50
Q

What do Brunner’s glands do?

A

produce alkaline mucin to neutralize HCL
produces urogastrone that inhibits HCL production
I.e neutralizes acid

51
Q

Why are lacteals important to have in the LP?

A

They are important because no all things can be absorbed into circulatory system (like chylomicrons) so they must be transported via lacteals

52
Q

Where do lymphatic nodules become large?

A

in distal ileum and appendix

53
Q

What do you find in the submucosa?

What do you find b/w the layers of muscle of the muscularis externa?

A

submucosal plexus

myenteric plexus

54
Q

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

ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoidal, cecum, appendix, colon , rectum, anal canal

57
Q

DOes the large intestine possess special mucosal folds?

A

NO

58
Q

Does the large intestine have villi?

What does Vit b12 function in?

A

hematopoiesis

61
Q

What does Vit K function in?

A

coagulation

62
Q

What produces copious amounts of mucus?

A

large intestine

63
Q

What is the epithelium of the large intestine?

A

simple columnar epithelium

64
Q

What kind of cells do you find numerous amounts of in the large intestine?

A

goblet cells

65
Q

What are the three types of cells found within the large intestine besides endothelial cells?

What do we have instead of lymphatic vessels in the large intestine?

A

we have lymphoid noduls

69
Q

do we have a musclaris mucosa in the small intestine? In the large intestine?

A

yes

yes

70
