Histology Of Stomach And Esophagus Flashcards
Histology of oral cavity
Stratified Squamous non-keratinized
4 layer of GI tract
Mucosa
Submucosa
Muscular is External
Serosa (proximal part esophagus)/Adventitia
What changes the most
The mucosa
Mucosa Layers
- Lining Epithelium : strat squamous non-keritinized (esophagus, oral cavity) + simple cuboidal (stomach, SI, LI)
- Lamina Propria: VASCULARIZED loose CT (Lymph nodules, WBC)
3 Muscularis Mucosae: think SM layer = mobility ( of mucosa and its glands only) and infoldings (which allow for dilation) of the mucosa
Submucosal Layers
- Dense irregular CT NERVES+ VASCULARIZED + Lymph
Also has glands (Esophagus and Duodenum)
= Meissner Plexus (submucosal plexus)
Muscularis Externa Layers
- Inner Layer: SM circular (Achalasia effects nerves going here) +CONSTRICTS TUBE
- NERVES and VASCULARIZED = Myenteric Plexus (Auerbach plexus)
- Outer Layer: SM longitudinal Layer =SHORTENS TUBE
= MIXING +PERISTALSIS
Where is the Myenteric Plexus
In between the inner and outer layer of the Muscularis Externa
Serosa/Adventitia Layers
Mesentery or (peritoneal fold) = Adventitia (upper 2/3 of esophagus) Mesentery + Mesothelium lining on the top (visceral peritoneum) = Serosa
Where is the Muscularis Mucosea
In the Mucosa Layer of the GI tract (causes release of glands and movement of mucosa)
Organs with serosa are
Intraperitoneal organs
If Adventitia = they are retroperitoneal organs
What epithelium is this
PROTECTIVE, Non-Keratinized Strat Squamous
Oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, anal canal
What epithelium is this
SECREATORY, Simple Columnar
Stomach , mucosa is think and packed with glands
What epithelium is this
ABSORPTIVE, Simple Columnar
SI, Mucosa arranged into Crypts,
Glands can be present sometimes (mucosal secretion)
Absorbs Nutrients
What epithelium is this
ABSORPTIVE + PROTECTIVE, Simple Columnar
LI, Mucosa arranged into closely packed glands
Glands have GOBLET cells (protect mucosa layer)
Absorbs H2O
Intrinsic innervation in GI
Enteric NS
Responds to ANS
Regulate: peristaltic movement (Muscularis Externa, Myenteric)
movement of Muscularis mucosae (Meissener)
Secreation of glands of mucosa and submucosa
Preganglionic axons of ENS
PARASYMPATHETIC = increase mobility
Postganglionic axons of ENS
SYMPATHETIC = decrease mobility
Esophagus histology layer 4 and glands
Thoracic esophagus = Adventitia
ABD (inferior) esophagus = Serosa
Lamina Propria of terminal esophagus= CARDIAC esophageal glands (in the mucosa)
Submucosa= SUBMUCOSAL glands- mucous and serous cells
= both make mucus
