Histology Flashcards
layers of the git from the lumen to the blood please
mucosa - submucosa - muscularis externa - serosa/adventita
what constitutes the mucosa
epitheliu, lamina propria, muscularis mucosa
whats the function of the muscularis mucosa
contract/relax to change surface area for absorption… mind blown
what constitutes the submucosa
submucosal nerve plexus/messner
function of the meissner/submucosal plexus
secertion
what constitutes the muscularis externa
mywenteric nerve plexus
inner cir and outer longi layers
when do you have a serosa versus an adventitia
serosa - intraperitoneal VRS adventitia - retroperitoneal
define: erosion
mucosa only (epi, lp, mscularis mucosa)
define: ulcer
can extend into the submucsa, inner of otuer muscular layer
what portion of the git has the slowest basal electric rhythm of slow waves
stomach @ 3 waves/min
what portion of the git ahs the fastest basal electric rhythm of slow waves
duodenum @ 12 waves /min
list the rate of slow waves in a) stomach, b) duodenum and c) ileum
stomach - 3 waves/min
duodenum - 12 waves/min
ileum - 8 to 9 waves/min
what is the epithelium in the esophagus
non kerat, strat squamous epi at esophagus
where are gastric glands :P
tummy
where do villi and microvilli first show up to increased surface area and why?
duodenum to increase absorption
where are brunner glands?
duodenum
what are brunner glands?
secret HCO3 - makes sense they are in the duodenum then
