Histology of Digestive System Associated Organs Flashcards
Name of the major salivary glands
Parotid
Submandibular
Sublingual
The name of duct of Parotid gland
Stensen’s duct
The name of duct of Submandibular gland
Wharton’s duct
Minor salivary glands are at this layer of oral cavity
Submucosa
Steps of development of exocrine gland
1) The epithelium creates a down growth
2) A solid cord forms from this
3) Degeneration of inner cells (canalization)
4) Cord and bulbous end forms
The bulbous end of a gland is called ___
Secretory acini
The cord of a gland becomes
the duct
Major salivary glands are surrounded by
Capsule
The capsule forms ___ and divides acini into ____
Septa, lobes and lobules
Numerous ___ found near the connective tissue surrounding acini to produce salivary antibodies
Lymphocytes and acini
Serous acini are more ____ in shape
Spherical
Mucous acini are more ____ in shape
Tubular
Serous cells shape
Pyramidal
Serous cell are mucin-secreting cell (True or False)
False, they are protein secreting cells
Serous cells have these in apical portion
Zymogen granules
Serous cell appearance under LM and reason
Apically stain eosinophilic due to zymogen granules (protein)
Basal portion is stained hematoxylin due to rER
Serous cell nucleus shape
Round
Mucous cells have this at their apical portion
Mucinogen granules
Mucous cell appearance under LM and reason
Apical cytoplasm is clear due to mucinogen granules
Basal portion is more basophilic due to rER
Mucous cell nucleus shape and reason
Nucleus flattened due to mucinogen granules pressing
How are the lumen of serous and mucous glands?
Serous gland lumen is small while mucous gland lumen is larger
Why serous glands have smaller lumen while mucous glands have larger lumen?
Serous cells produce watery substances
Mucous cells produce thick mucous
Type of cell mostly found near serous cells
Myoepithelial cell
Myoepithelial cell function and location
At basal portion of serous cells and to contract and cause the serous secretion to get into lumen
Myoepithelial cell appearance under LM
Thin eosinophilic band due to contractile filaments
____ might occur near acini due to traditional fixation methods
Serous demilunes
Cap of serous cells between the mucous cells are called
Serous demilunes
Smallest ducts near acini
Intercalated ducts
Intercalated ducts are mostly found near serous acini but not mucous acini (True or False)
True. Not really seen near mucous acini
Type of epithelium seen in intercalated ducts
Low cuboidal epithelium
Intercalated ducts drain into these ducts
Striated ducts
Striated ducts epithelium
Simple cuboidal to simple columnar
these ducts can modify the composition of secretion
Intralobular ducts (intercalated and striated)
What are the striations on striated duct cells?
At basolateral folds found longitudinal mitochondria causing striations
Enzyme found in intercalated ducts
Carbonic anhydrase
In serous secreting ducts intercalated ducts function to
secrete bicarbonate
absorb Cl-
In striated ducts why do we need mitochondria?
Striated ducts reabsorbs the fluid and electrolytes. This requires energy
Striated ducts absorbs___ and secretes ____ to make the secretion more ___
Striated ducts absorbs Na+ and secretes K+ to make the secretion more hypotonic
Excretory ducts
Intralobular, interlobular and interlobar ducts
Excretory ducts type of epithelium
Simple cuboidal –> Simple columnar –> Pseudostratified columnar or stratified cuboidal
As the ducts opens to the oral cavity the epithelium is
Stratified squamous
As going further the diameter of the duct
increases
Parotid gland is completely
Serous gland
Parotid gland is near this nerve
Facial nerve
Facial nerve can be affected by this viral infection
Mumps
Parotid gland has lots of this tissue
Adipose tissue
Submandibular gland is what type of gland?
Mixed mostly serous. Has serous demilunes
Sublingual gland is what type of gland?
Mixed mostly mucous
Saliva content
Water, glycoproteins, enzymes, antibodies, electrolytes, digesting enzymes like salivary alpha amylase, lysozyme, calcium and phosphate for tooth development
Pancreas portions
Head, neck, body and tail
Pancreas is surrounded by
Capsule around the gland
Pancreas has both ___ and ___ components as a gland
Endocrine and exocrine
Exocrine component of pancreas opens to ___ for digestive enzyme secretion
Second part of duodenum
Endocrine component of pancreas secretes these hormones to blood
Glucagon and insulin
Specialized region of endocrine component of pancreas
Langerhans islet = pancreatic islet
Çok güzel 3 şarkı ekledim beraber arabada dinleyeceğiz
Çok senlik değiller ama hoşlar
Langerhans islet is stained ___ compared to exocrine portion
Pale
Exocrine portion of pancreas is stained ____ due to ___
basophilic (purple) due to rER
Exocrine portion of pancreas resembles to ____ gland since both of them are ___ glands
Parotid, completely serous
Intercalated duct starts within the acini with these type of cells in pancreas
Centroacinar cells
At the apical portion of serous cells in pancreatic serous gland these are seen
Zymogen granules of digestive enzymes
Pancreatic serous gland also have striated duct (True or False)
False. Striated duct is for controlling the content of saliva. (Absorption and secretion)
Proenzymes secreted by pancreas are activated by these two enzymes
Enterokinase and trypsin
Appearance of centroacinar cells
Flattened nucleus, squamous cell.
