Histology 17 HY Flashcards
3 layers of the mucosa
epithelium, lamina propria(CT) and muscularic mucosae(SM)
consists of dense irregular connective tissue
submucosa
consists in most parts of alimentary tract as 2 layers of smooth mm
muscularis externa
beneath the layer of muscularis externa costists of simple squamous epithelium called the mesothelium, and a little CT
serosa
Parts of the digestive tract don’t contain serosa such as thoracic pt of esophagus, duodenum, ascending/descending colon, rectum, and anal canal. they instead are attached to the abdominal/pelvic wall by CT called?
adventitia
3 functions of the mucosa
protections, absorption secretion
the epithelium of the mucosa: one function is a barrier of protection from outside pathogens. in the esophagus what is the epithelium made out of? in the rest of the GI tract
non keratinized stratified squamous; simple columnar cells
has an absorptive function is a circumferentially oriented submucosal fold along most of the SI
plicae circulares
principal site of absorption for digestion products are mucosal projections that cover the entire surface of the SI
villi
tightly packed microscopic projections of the apical surface of intestinal absorptive cells help to further inc the surface available for absorption
microvilli
projections from apical plasma membrane epithelial absorptive cells providing more surface for adsorption and has enzymes essential in the final steps of protein and sugar digestion
glycocalyx
Secretion by glands is important for lubrication, buffering, as wella s secreting enzymes HCl hormones, water, and antibodies. there are mucosal, submucosal glands as well as ____ glands that lie outside of the digestive tract and deliver their secretions via ducts into the duodenum. Name the 2
extramural digestive glands-liver and gall bladder!
where do the mucosal glands extend into? this region also contains blood vessels that transport absorbed substances and lymphatic tissues to protect against pathogens
lamina propria
in the ileum extensive aggregates of lymphoid nodules occupy mysh of the lamina propria and subucosa. what are these called
peyers patches
this divides the mucosa and submucosa and when it contracts it forms ridges in the mucosa to facilitate absorption and secretion
muscularis mucosae
the submucosa contains blood and lymphatics also, as well as parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves. the nerves of the parasympathetic ganglion represent the ___ nervous system-responsible for innervating SM in alimentary canal and can function independently of the CNS. name of plexus in the submucosa?
enteric nervous systems-Meissners plaxus
2 locations where the submucosa gontains glands-helps to ID certain regions of the GI
esophagus and initial portion of duodenum
Muscularis externa: Inner mm layer is oriented how? outer mm layer oriented how? the 2 layers are divided by connective tissue which contains what(3)
circularly; longitudinally; myenteric(auerbachs plexus), blood and lymph vessels
Contraction of the muscularis externa produces peristalsis- contraction of the inner layers causes what? while contraction of the outer layer causes what
inner layer-mixes food; outerlayer-propels contents forward
longitudinal SMm layer of muscularis externa thickens in the large intestine to 3 distinct bands called
teniae coli
Pharyndoesophageal sphincter(superior), inferior lower esophageal sphincter, pyloric sphincter(controls release of chyme), ileocecal valve, and internal anal sphincter are all made of thickened parts of what muscularis externa layer to create sphincters or valves
circular mm layer(inner layer)
GERD is characterized by inflammation of the esophageal mucosa, strictures, difficulty swallowing, and chest pain. what is ti dt
abnormal relaxation of inferior esophageal sphincter-allows acid to reflux from stomach into esophagus
in the esophagus the muscularis externa differs than that found in the rest of the digestive tract in that the upper third is componsed of what type of mm? as you move down this type of mm becomes intermixed with SM until in the distal 1/3 of the tract it is all sm
striated mm
the thoracic outermost part of the esophagus is covered by? while the abdominal pt of the esophagus is covered by
adventitia; serosa
Glands are present in the esophagus wall, both secrete mucus but there are 2 types
1.)___ lie in submucosa are scattered throughout but more concentrated in upper half.
2.)____ found in lamina propria of mucosa-resent in terminal part of esophagus and sometimes at the beginning of the esophagus
esophageal glands proper; esophageal cardiac glands
ESOPHAGEAL GLANDS PROPER SECRETE MUCUS FOR LUBRICATION AND TRANSIENT__ CAN OCCUR IN THEM BECAUSE OF THE VISCOUS NATURE OF THE FLUID. ESOPHAGEAL CARDIC GLANDS SECRETE NEUTRAL MUCUS AND IF NOT FULLY EFFECTIVE and excessive reflux results in ____ aka heart burn–>can progress to GERD
cysts; pyrosis
____mm is innervated by somatic motor neurons of the vagus nerve in the esophagus
___mm is inverated by visceral motor neurons of the vagus
striated; smooth
4 regions of the stomach
cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus
3 histologic regions of the stomach
1.)____ near esophageal orifice contains cardiac glands
2.)___ near proximal pyloric sphincter contains pyloric glands
3.)___ largest part of stomach between cardia and pylorus contains gastric glands
cardiac region; pyloric region, fundic region
longitudinal folds in the body of the stomach they do not alter surface area but serve to accomodate EXPANSION and filling of stomach
rugae
shallow trenches in the stomach that divide the stomach surface into ___ areas. These grooved areas increase surface area for secretion
mamillated areas
numerous openings in the stomach mucosal surfaces are called? gastric glands open into the bottom of these
gastric pits-aka foveolae
simple columnar cells line the gastric pits and are caled surface mucous cells. each of these possessa cup of _____ that stain PAS blue reflecting the presence of mucin, lots of bicarb and K helping to protect it from the acidic environment. ___ stimulates the secretion of bicarb and inc the thickness of the mucus coat to help supply nutrients to damaged stomach mucosa
mucinogen granules; prostaglandins
the lining of the stomach isn’t absorptive but can absorb some water salts and lipid soluble drugs. 2 drugs that enter the lamina propria by damaging the gastric epithelium to cause problems and also can interfere with the hydrophobic properties of the gastric mucosa
alcohol NSAIDs/aspirin
the fundic or gastric glands produce gastric acid and empty into the gastric pits. each gland has a neck and fundic segment. between the gastric pit and the gastric gland is the __ which is where stem cells are located
isthmus
In addition to water/electrolytes the gastric gland(beneath the isthmus!) has many different cell types:
1.) ___ cells produce hydrochloric acid aids in protein digestion. HCL also helps to activate pepsinogen
2.) ___ cells produce pepsinogen which gets activated to pepsin by HCL to splite peptides
3.) ____ cells in the gland secrete mucus to contribute to the physiologic gastric mucosa barrier.(secretion is stimulated by vagus)
4.) ___ cells also secrete intrinsic factor that binds B12 and is essential for its absorption in the ileum
5.) ___ cells in the gland secrete gastrin and other hormones that genter circulation or act locally on gastric epithelial cells
parietal cells; chief cells;musucus neck cells; parietal; enteroendocrine cells
HCl is bacteriostatic and so most bacteria entering the stomach get destroyed! what bacteria has urease which converts urea to ammonia forming a protective ammonia cloud contributing to its survival in the stomach? lack of intrinsic factor from parietal cells causes what
H pylori; pernicious anemia and B12 def
parietal cells are also called what name

parietal and mucous neck cells
most abundant cell types located in the fundic segment of the fundic/gastric glands
enteroendocrine cells and chief cells
things that can cause pernicious anemia
achlorhydria-destroys gastric mucosa-no intrinsic factor; peptic ulcer disease–>ulcers can produce IF; H2 antagonists prevent IF and and acid secretion
H pylori contains LPS antigen that mimics those expressed on gastric epithelial cells what does this cause
