A

Extrinsic

18
Q

List histological characteristics of the duodenum

A

BRUNNER’S GLANDS (mucous) in submucosa
Few goblet cells
Villi with a leaf-like shape

19
Q

List histological characteristics of the jejunum

A

Well developed PLICAE CIRCULARES (characteristic feature)
Irregular villi with a finger-like shape
More goblet cells
No brunner’s glands and No peyers patches

20
Q

List histological characteristics of the ileum

A

Peyers patches in lamina propria and subucosa
Finger-like villi (smaller than jejunum)
Most goblet cells
Location of M cells (ag-transporting cells)

21
Q

What type of epithelium are villi and crypts of lieberkuhn lined by?

What are the cell types of the villi and crypts?

A

Simple columnar

1) absorptive cells (enterocytes) (villi)
2) goblet cells (villi)
3) paneth cells (crypt)
4) enteroendocrine cells (crypt)

22
Q

___ cells have an apical domain with a prominent brush border containing about 3000 closely packed microvilli, which increase the surface luminal area 300-fold

The microvilli of these cells contain intramembranous enzymes (lactase, maltase, sucrase) for terminal digestion of carbs

A

Absorptive (enterocytes)

23
Q

The wall of the SI includes these layers:

A

Mucosa
Submucosa
Muscularis
Serosa (outer)

24
Q

____ are columnar mucus-secreting cells scattered among enterocytes of the intestinal epithelium. The secretory product of these cells contains glycoproteins released by exocytosis and the mucus hydrates to form a protective gel coat to shield the epithelium from mechanical abrasion and bacterial invasion

A

Goblet cells

25
Q

___ cells secrete antimicrobial proteins to limit bacteria-enterocyte contact. Most of the proteins kill bacteria directly by enzymatic degradation of the bacterial wall or by disrupting the bacterial inner membrane

A

Paneth

26
Q

Regarding protection from pathogens in the SI,:

A viscous gel-like blanket is produced by ___ cells

An intestinal tight-junction barrier that links adjacent ____

___ of the intestinal epithelium, participates in cell surveillance of Ags.

___, a product of plasma cells secreted by intestinal epithelium and in bile, neutralizes Ags.

Inactivation of microbial pathogens by antimicrobial proteins, products of ___ cells

A 
Goblet 
Enterocytes
Peyer's patches
IgA
Paneth
27
Q

Crohn’s disease affects which part(s) of the intestine?

A

Terminal ileum but also observed in the LI

28
Q

The initial alteration of the intestinal mucosa in IBD is by infiltration of these immune cells into the crypts of lieberkuhn:

A

Neutrophils

29
Q

The purpose of fecal transplant is to replace good bacteria that has been killed or suppressed, usually the use of antibiotics, causing bad bacteria, specifically ___ to overpopulate the colon

A

Clostridium difficile

30
Q

The mucosa of the LI is lined by a ____ epithelium formed by enterocytes and abundant goblet cells

A

simple columnar

31
Q

What is a major function of enterocytes in the LI?

A

transport of ions and water

32
Q

Numerous openings of the straight tubular glands or crypts of lieberkuhn are characteristic of the ___ of the colon

A

Mucosa

33
Q

___ have short apical microvilli and participate in transport of ions and water in the LI

A

Enterocytes

34
Q

In the LI, ___ cells secrete mucus to lubricate the mucosal surface and serve as a protective barrier

A

Goblet

35
Q

In the colon, ___ contain goblet, enteroendocrine, and stem cells

A

Glands of lieberkuhn

36
Q

___ is a characteristic feature of the LI, formed by fused bundles of the outer smooth muscle layer. Contraction of this and the inner circular smooth muscle layer produces periodic saccular structures called Haustra

A

Taeniae coli

37
Q

What type of epithelium is found below the pectinate line?

A

Stratified squamous (keratinized)

38
Q

Familial polyposis and colorectal tumorigenesis is determined by a defect in this protein (gene):

A

Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene

Excess of APC activates genes leading to colorectal tumorigenesis
