Q

Difference between serosa and adventitia of the GIT?

A

Serosa is connective tissue covered by a layer of simple squamous cells (known as mesothelial cells) which lines a cavity while adventitia is connective tissue which merges with surrounding tissues.

Q

Besides stage and grade what else are factors determining prognosis and subsequent treatment of a tumour?

A
  • The presence of microvascular invasion
  • Specific tumour type
  • The completeness of surgical excision
  • Likelihood of response (via detecting presence of specific mutations) to relevant targeted therapies
  • The pattern of the local inflammatory response
19
Q

What type of mineral definciy can colon cancers present with and how is it caused?

A

Iron deficiency

Gradual unrecognised loss of red blood cells via the ulcerated surface

20
Q

What structures are labelled with the black arrows? What type of carcinoma are they common in?

A

keratin curls

Squamous cell carcinoma

21
Q

Gas exchange occurs across the alveolar air blood barrier composed of what layers?

A

Epithelium -> basement membrane -> endothelium

22
Q

What type of cells are in the alveolar walls?

A

Type 2 pneumocytes

Elastin

Fibroblasts

Pores of Kohn

Endothelium

23
Q

What type of epithilium are the trachea and bronchi lined by?

A

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithilium with goblet cells.

aka respiratory epithelium

24
Q

What is present in the bronchi mut not the large bronchioles? What do they both have?

A

Seromuccous glands and Cartilage.

They both have:

Goblet cells and cilia (disappear over length)

Smooth muscle

basement membrane

25
Q

What is in the walls of the large bronchioles but not the terminal or respiratory bronchioles?

A

Goblet cells and Cilia

26
Q

What is the key feature of chronic diffuse interstitial lung dieaeses and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?

A

Fibrosis of inter-alveolar septae

27
Q

Label:

Goblet cell

region of basement membrane

region of cilia

region of lamina propria

A

yellow: Goblet cells
green: basement membrane
blue: cilia
red: lamina propria

28
Q

Nuclei appear basophilic as haematoxylin binds to what?

A

Phosphate groups of nucleic acids

29
Q

Which epithelial subtype is best adapted to withstand mechanical abrasion?

A

Stratified squamous

30
Q

What type of collagen is the main compenetn of basemement membranes?

A

Type IV aka four

31
Q

Identify the three structure?

Blue arrows?

Black arrows?

Yellow squares?

A

Blue: Cytoplasm

Black: Nucleolus

Yellow: nucleus

32
Q

What are the four basic tissue types?

A

epithelium, connective tissue, neural tissue and muscle

33
Q

Why the dermis appears eosinophilic on low power?

A

The dermis is predominantly composed of collagen which is protein so stains pink with eosin.

34
Q

What other cells besides besides fibroblast would be in the ECM of skin?

A

include mast cells, macrophages, dendritic cells and lymphocytes. All are present such thay are able to initiate inflammatory and immune responses in case of penetration of the epidermis by antigens.

35
Q

Lable columnar epithelium, simple squamous and smooth muscle in image?

A

Purple = smooth muscle

Yellow = columnar

Green = simple squamous

36
Q

Several types of collagens where are they mainly?

Type 1

Type 2

Type 3

Type 4

Type 5

Type 7?

A

ype 1: found in bone

Type 2: found in elastic and hyaline cartilage

Type 3: found in reticulin fibers

Type 4: found in basement membranes

Type 5: found in a variety of connective tissues such as tendons

Type 7: found in anchoring fibrils of epithelial basement membrane

37
Q

What happens in G1, S, G2 and M Phase?

A

G1 phase: the cell synthesizes RNA, regulatory proteins, and enzymes which will provide for cell growth through synthesis of new cellular components.

S phase: the cell duplicates its genome with formation of new DNA to comprise twice the amount of DNA (in autosomal cells) in a resting cell.

G2 phase: DNA is repaired and the cell produces RNA and proteins needed for division.

M phase: the cell undergoes mitosis and divides in half.

38
Q

Four phases of mitosis?

A

Prophase, Metaphse, Anaphase, Telophase

39
Q

Types of Epithelium? Five major types (one of them has two components.

A
  • Stratified squamous epithelium (keratinsing (skin) and non-keratinising (cervix)
  • Columnar epithelium (Surface lining colon)
  • Pseudostratified columnar epithelium (bronchus - respiratory epithelium)
  • Transitional Epithelium (ureter: strong but allows stretching)
  • Cuboidal Epithelium (lines ducts and draining glands)

40
Q

Difference between exocrine and endocrine glands?

A

Exocine glands secret into a duct which drains to a lumen or a surface while endocrine glands drain directly into bloodstream (product is a hormone).

41
Q

Describe the series of attachments from the epithelial cells to the basement membrane.

A

Integrins in the epithelial cells extend into the basement membrane and attach to laminin which in turn attaches to type 4 collagen and to fibronectin in the portion of the basement membrane known as the basal lamina. There are anchoring fibrils of type 7 collagen.

42
Q

Types of Junctional Complexes? Basic Description?

A

Tight Junctions (zonula occludens) form impenatrable barrier between cells.

Zonula adherens - extracellular cadherins join cytoskeletal elements through transmembrane proteins

Desmosomes: have attachment proteins that link to intermediate filaments of cytokeratin.

Gap junctions : tselective communication by passage of small molecules between cells.
