Histology - GI System Flashcards
Replace all cell types
Stem cells (in isthmus)
parts of GI tract with submucosal glands
duodenum, esophagus
Stomach - ELSMS/A
E: simple columnar LP: fundic, cardiac, pyloric glands SM: rugae ME: inner oblique, middle circular, outer longitundinal. S/A: serosa
Small Intestine - ELSMS/A
E: simple columnae LP: vili, intestinal glands, Peyer’s patches (ileum). SM: circular folds, Brunner’s glands. ME: inner circular, outer longitunindal. S/A: serosa (except duodenum)
apical, small intestine. Antimicrobial secretions that regulate gut flora.
Paneth cells
HCl: lowers pH. Intrinsic factor: B12 absorption
Parietal cells
Smooth Muscle Sphincter Layer
Muscularis Externa
lymphatic capillaries, uptake chylomicrons (modified triglycerides)
Lacteals
Transition from simple columnar to stratified columnar to stratified squamous non keratinized
Rectoanal junction
Pepsinogen: converted to pepsin by low pH, digests protein
Chief cells
Esophagus - ELSMS/A
E: Stratified squamous non-keratinized LP: esophageal cardiac glands (lower) SM: esophageal glands ME: skeletal (upper) -> sk & sm (middle) -> smooth (lower) S/A: Adventitia
Secrete hormones like gastrin, CCK, secretin. Regulate gastric, intestinal, pancreatic, gallbladder activity -G cells, I cells, S cells, etc.
Enteroendocrine cells
antigen transport cells, phagocytizes antigen & transports it to lamina propria
M cells
Soluble mucus: lubrication
Mucous neck cells
Large Intesting - ELSMS/A
E: simple columnar. LP: intestinal glands. SM: - ME: inner circular, outer longintudinal (teniae coli). S/A: serosa in transverse and sigmoid. Adventitia in the rest.
