Q

Esophagus histology layer 4 and glands

A

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

Q

Esophagus Mucosa Layer

A

Non-Keritinized strat squamous
(On top of Lamina Propria - cardiac esophageal glands)
Many folds that distend with food (most glands in the lower segments)

20
Q

Esophagus Submucosa Layer

A

Collagen +elastic fibers, many small BVs
SUBMUCOSAL VENOUS PLEXUS = drains blood to systemic +portal veins
Submucosal glands throughout the entire length of E

21
Q

Increased pressure in the submucosa (esophagus)

A

increased pressure from inflammation of portal vein increase the pressure in the esophageal veins
Esophageal varcies
= dilation of the submucosa venous sinuses
Pain eating and Dysphagia, bleeding

22
Q

Muscularis Externa of Esophagus layer

A

inner and outer layer = segmented-dependent variations
ORAL
1/3 : Skeletal muscle (striated)
1/3 : Skeletal and SM
1/3 : SM - inner and outer segments are now seen
STOMACH (cardia)

23
Q

What prevents reflux of gastric contents

A

LES (lower esophageal sphincter)

24
Q

GERD

A

Chronic inflammation + ulcerations + difficult swallowing (Dysphagia) from reflux of gastric contents
= weakness of the LES

25
Barrett’s Esophagus
Chronic GERD that causes non-keratinized strat squamous (in transition zone) ——> to become columnar mucus-secreting/glandular cells (for protection)
26
Gastroesophageal Junction
Epithelial transition from esophagus to stomach High risk of cancer From non-k str sq ———> simple columnar
27
Stomach epithelium
Glandular and has many pits and glands
28
4 regions of the stomach
1. Cardia - esophageal opening 2. Fundus - left of cardia 3. Body - central region 4. Pyloris - ends at gastroduodenal orifice
29
Rugea
Longitudinal folds in S gastric mucosa | Covered by gastric pits
30
Gastric Glands produce
Mucosa for a barrier to protect the mucosal surface
31
Mucosa Layer in stomach
Simple columnar Lamina Propria : cardiac G, Gastric G, Pyloric G Reticular and collagen Muscularis mucosae helps release gastric G secretion
32
Submucosa of Stomach Layer
Dense irr CT collagen + elastic fibers | A, V, L (meissner plexus)
33
Muscularis Externa of Stomach Layer
HAS 3 LAYERS (not 2) 1. Oblique 2. Circular (THICK IN PYLOIS = PYLORIC SPHINCTER) 3. Longitudinal
34
Serosa of Stomach Layer
Loose CT and BVs
35
Funding Glands
= Gastric Glands | 1. Extend from gastric pits to Muscularis mucosae (in MUCOSA LAYER)
36
Fundic (Gastric) Glands are located where in the invagination of the mucosal layer (RUGAE)
The bottom : shorter wider base
37
Three Layers of the invagination of the mucosal layer and the cells in each in the right order (RUGAE)
LUMEN GASTRIC PIT -surface mucous cells : alkaline mucin ISTHMUS/NECK -Mucous Neck cells : acid mucin - Parietal Cells : Intrinsic Factor (absorb B2) and HCL GASTRIC GLAND - Chief cells : Pepsinogen and gastric lipase(activated by HCL) - G cell : Gastrin into BLOOD (stimulates parietal cell)
38
Order the stomach cells only (RUGAE)
``` Surface mucous cell : Alkaline Mucin Mucous neck cells : Acid Mucin Parietal cells : IF and HCL Chief cells : Pepsinogen and Gastric Lipase G-cells (ENTEROENDOCRINE cell) : Gastrin ```
39
Mucous Cells
1. Surface Mucous Cells -line lumen and gastric pit 2. Mucous Neck Cells -neck as individuals or clusters (APICAL SECRETION) 95% water, 5% water =gel attaching to surface mucosa to neutralize the microenvironment (ALKALINE FLUID)
40
Chief Cells
ZYMOGENTIC CELLS, clusters Inferior 1/3 or gastric glands HIGH RER and APICAL SECRETION of granules Basophilic Secrete Pepsinogen + gastric Lipase
41
Pepsinogen | Function and when
Proenzyme in the secretory granules (of the chief cells) HCL coverts it to Pepsin-proteolytic digestive enzyme Released fast during feeding
42
Gastric Lipase | Function
Digest lipids
43
Parietal Cells | Function and
- Neck and upper segment of gastric gland - HCL (gastric juice) + IF (bind and absorb B2) - 1-2 nuclei + Eosinophilic (HIGH MITOCHONDRIA) *active Parietal cells invaginate into apical surface (away from lumen)=(INTRACELLULAR CANALICULUS (increase SA of microvilli)
44
Gastric Ulcers what is it Where Cause
Painful lesions of mucosa layer, can extend deeper layers (From lower esophagus to SI)- most common in stomach Cause : H Pylori, NSAIDS effects, Overproduced HCL or Pepsin, low HCO3- and mucus production
45
ENTEROENDOCRINE cells (G -cells)
In gastric mucosa along the entire length of the GI Named by first letter of their H secreted name *most are APUD cells : process amines * part of the diffuse neuron doctrine system (DNES) EX: G -cell secreting Gastrin in the Stomach
46
ENTEROENDOCRINE cells Stimulated how Open, closed Function
By paracrine and endocrine effects CLOSED: apex of cell not exposed to lumen OPEN: apical end contacts lumen (has CHEMORECEPTORS to sample the lumen contents) Regulates peristalsis, motility, secretion of digestive Hs, H2O, electrolytes, SENSE SATIETY after eating
47
Pyloric Glands
A LOT OF MUCUS SECRETING CELLS ( to neutralized anything going to SI) Lined by mucus-secreting cells - large pale mucus Empty into pits (large, half of mucosa) RELEASE GASTIN (G-Cells) Some parietal cells, Lymph nodules (GALT) present
