Histology Flashcards
Accessory Glands
Salivary glands
Liver
Gallbladder
Digestive Trunk
Oral cavity Pharynx Esophagus Stomach Small intestine Large intestine Rectum Anus
Foregut
From the pharynx to the duodenum
Pain is felt in the epigastric
Midgut
Pain is felt in the periumbilical area
Hindgut
Pain is felt in the hypogastric area
Oral Cavity
Mucosa: nonkeratinized stratified squaamous epithelium
Submucosa
Muscularis externa: muscle of the cheek
Adventitia: loose CT superficial to the muscle
Tongue
Sulcus terminalis: V-shaped groove separating anterior and posterior portions
Angle found in sulcus terminalis:
Lingual Papillae
Filiform
Fungiform: contain taste buds
Circumvallate
Taste buds
3 types of cells under LM
1 Sustentacular
2 Basal
3
5 types of taste buds under EM (hw)
Pharynx
Mucosa: stratified, nonkeratinized and keratinized
Submucosa
Muscularis externa
Adventitia
Esophagus
Mucosa: stratified squamous, thinly keratinized, abruptly ends at GEJ (gastro-esophageal junction/stomach: simple columnar Muscularis mucosa: Smooth muscles Submucosa: forms transient folds Muscularis: oblique fibers Serosa
Stomach
Mucosa: rugae
Submucosa: blood vessels, lymphatics, lamina propria, Meissner’s plexus
Muscularis externa
Serosa
Gastric mucosal barrier
-prevents it from being digested by 1-2 pH
3 components:
1 epithelium
2 mucosal layer
3 bicarbonate ions
Responsible for basophilia
Ribosomes (synthesize proteins)
Parietal (oxyntic) cells
Most conspicuous
Produce HCl and gastric intrinsic factor (necessary for absorption of Vit B12 - pernicious anemia)
