major sight of absoprtion

42
Q

functions of Small intestines

A

mostly absorption also completion of digestion

43
Q

increase SA x 3

A

plicae circulares
core of submucosa
-like rugae but permanent

44
Q

Plicae circulares most common in

45
Q

3 modifications of small intestine

A

Plicae circulares
Villi
Microvilli

46
Q

increase SA x 10

47
Q

VILLIS ARE FINGER LIKE PROJECTIONS OF

A

MUCOASE

ALL THEE COMPONENTS

48
Q

IN MAKING VILLI-SURFACE EPITHELIUM HAS INDENTATIONS CALLED

A

INTESTINAL CRYPTS

CRYPTS OF LEPRACHAUN

49
Q

pathophys of Celiac disease

A

gluten sensitivity trigger immune system to damage or destroy villi
-no villi in small intestine

50
Q

no villi in Small intestine

A

celiac disease

-gluten intolerant

51
Q

inc. SA x 100

A

microvilli

52
Q

forms striated brush border

A

microvilli

53
Q

how do mirovillia function

A

contain actin-causes them to contract their terminal web-spreads them increasing surface area

54
Q

where are lacteal

A

in LP of villi in small intestine

55
Q

Small intestines have simple columnar epithelium composed of 6 cell types

A
  1. enterocytes
  2. goblet cells
  3. Paneth Cells
  4. M cells
  5. Enteroendocrine
  6. intermediate cells

peyer’s patches

75
Q

bruner’s glands

76
Q

neither Bruner’s or peyers

A

jejunum

*will have plicae ciruclares

77
