Histology Review: GI TRACT ONLY Flashcards
general structure for GI histology layers
- mucosa
- submucosa
- muscularis externa
- adventitia serosa
layers of mucosa
epithelium
lamina propria
muscularis mucosa
plexus in the submucosa
meissner’s
plexus in between the longitudinal muscle and the circular muscle
myenteric/ Auerbach’s
4 functions of GI tract in general
Motility
Secretion
Digestion
Absorption
functions of the mucosal layer
secretion
absorption
protection
function of submucosa
provide blood and lymph, nerves and occasional glands
Muscularis externa functions
inner-decreases lumen diameter
longitudinal-propels contents shortening the tube
*rhythmic contraction produces peristalsis
what forms the sphincters throughout the Gi tract
inner circular muscle
epithelium in the esophagus
NON keratinizing SS
*like vagina
mucous glands in esophagus lamina propria
cardiac
esophagus GALT located in
Mucosa
esophagus submucosa contains
tubuloalveolar glands
secrete mucous into ducts
upper 1/3 of esophaugus
vagal-ACH controlled skelatal muscle
Voluntary?
lower 2/3 of esophagus
Vagal? ACH? SMooth muscle?
involuntary
stomach makes
chyme
GERD caused by
dysfunctional LES
four regions of the stomach
- cardia
- fundus
- body-orad-oxyntic
- antrum-pyrlorus-caudad
functional features of stomach lining
- rugae that dissappear with distention
- gastirc pits
- gastric glands
stomach epithelium
simple columnar
- with goblet cells
- know Barret’s metaplasia
forms the core of rugae
submucosa
Muscularis externa of the stomach
- inner oblique
- middle circular
- outer longitudinal
pyloric sphincter located?
pyloro-duodenal junction
-made from circular layer
“surface mucin cells” secrete
alklaline mucin
*protective
describe the surface of the stomach
surface mucous cells invaginate into LP to create gastric pits
below gastric pits in the LP is
gastric glands
*continuation of
where are regenerative cells for glands found?
in the isthmus between pits and glands
cheif cells make
pepsinogen
cheif cells located where in gastric pit?
the very bottom (basal basophilia)
secretory granules of cheif cells are
acidophillic
pareital cells secrete
- HCL
2. Intrinsic factor (V b12 absorption)
parietal cells most neumerous….
in upper pat of GLAND
-below isthmus
enteroendocirine cells found at——-and produce——
all levels
variety or Hormones
shape/color of parietal cells
triangles
-acidophillic (eosinophillic)
cell division restricted to
isthmus-stem cells
*some more up and become surface mucous cells some move down to become glands
time frame for surface cell regen
3-5 days
