HISTOLOGY : accessory organs of digestion Flashcards
what are the major salivary glands?
parotid, submandibular, sublingual
what type of secretions do each of the major salivary glands produce?
- parotid = serous
- submandibular = seromucous (mainly serious)
- sublingual = seromucous (mainly mucous)
salivary glands are surrounded by a _________ with ______ that divide the gland into lobules
- connective tissue capsule
- septa
what type of glands are salivary glands?
compound tubuloacinar glands — branching duct system, secretory component (tubular and acinar)
what is the order of excretory ducts from smallest to largest?
- intercalated ducts
- striated ducts
- intralobular ducts
- interlobular ducts
- interlobar ducts
describe intercalated ducts
small, tiny lumen, simple low cuboidal epithelium
describe striated ducts
formed by merging intercalated ducts, simple columnar epithelium
describe intralobular ducts
formed by merging striated ducts, gradually increase in size and surround by CT
describe interlobular ducts
epithelium may be pseudostratified
describe interlobar ducts
pseudostratified or stratified, may possess cilia, eventually convey saliva into oral cavity
what run throguh the connective tissue that forms the septa between lobules?
blood vessels and nerves
watch vids again
alright
describe the pancreas
- exocrine and endocrine gland
- has a connective tissue capsule and septa, divided into lobules
describe the exocrine component of the pancreas
acini — secretory component - secretes enzymes
duct system:P
intercalated —> intralobular —> interlobular —> main pancreatic ducts
epithelium in pancreatic intercalated ducts
simple cuboidal
epithelium in pancreatic interlobular ducts
simple/stratified cuboidal/columnar
epithelium in pancreatic main ducts
tall columnar
describe the endocrine component of the pancreas
- islets of Langerhans — secrete hormones directly into blood, and glucagon
- cells and sections?
how does connective tissue change surrounding the ducts as you get further down? (pancreas)
becomes more abundant
what does the main pancreatic duct also have in its wall?
some smooth msucel cells
what’s forms the hepatopancratic ampulla?
the union of the main pancreatic duct with the bile duct
what is the liver covered by?
Glisson’s capsule
