Histology Flashcards
Layers of the esophagus?
MUCOSA
- Non-keratinized squamous stratified epithelium
- Lamina propria: contains mucous glands
- Muscularis mucosae
SUBMUCOSA
TUNICA MUSCULARIS
- internal circular
- Exernal longitudinal
ADVENTITIA
Stomach layers?
MUCOSA
- Simple columnar epithelium with surface mucous cells and secretory mucous cells
- Lamina propria
- Muscularis mucosae (inner circular and outer longitudinal)
SUBMUCOSA
TUNICA MUSCULARIS
- Inner circular
- Outer longitudinal
SEROSA
Composition of a gastric gland?
- Surface mucous cell
- Stem cell: mitosis, granule free
- Mucous neck cell: have mucous granules, produces carbohydrate-rich glycoproteins, composed of neutral mucins, high bicarbonate concentration
- Parietal cell: secretes HCL and intrinsic factor that promotes absorption of B12
- Enteroendocrine cell: at the base of the gastric gland, secretes gastrin (stimulates the secretion of HCL by the parietal cells), serotonin, histamine, VIP, glucagon and somatostatin (inhibits the secretion of HCL by the parietal cells)
- Zymogenic cell: secretory granule, peptic cell
What’s in a villius VS crypt of Lieberkühn?
Villius: columnar with striated border, smooth muscle, capillary, lymphatics and goblet cells
Crypt of Lieberkühn: smooth muscle, enteroendocrine cells, goblet cells, mitoses and Paneth’s cells (lysozyme production)
Duodenum layers?
MUCOSA
- Villus: simple columnar + brush border, contains ACTIN
- Crypt
- Lamina propria: Brunner’s glands
MUSCULARIS MYCOSAE CIRCULAR
SUBMUCOSA
MUSCULARIS
SEROSA
Jejunum layers?
MUCOSA
- Plicae cicularis (submucosa of dense CT)
2, Muscularis mucosae circular and longitudinal
SUBMUCOSA MUSCULARIS
SEROSA
Colon layers?
MUCOSA
- Simple columnar
- Crypts (NO villi): goblet cells ++, absorptive cell, enteroendocrine cells, stem cells, Paneth’s cell in ascending colon
SUBMUCOSA: circular, appendix have ++ lymphatic nodules here
TUNICA MUSCULARIS: inner circular and external longitudinal
SEROSA
What is the consequence of affected parietal cells in atrophic gastritis?
Pernicious anemia
a. esophageal gland
a. cardia because 1:1 ratio
d. gastric gland
d. they do not SECRETE somatostatin, they are regulated by it
c. enterocytes cells in a vili
c. colon
b. duodenum
