Lab Exam 3- Pulmonary, Urinary, and Digestive Systems Flashcards
Mucosa
Mucous Membrane: consists of an inner epithelium spread over a thin layer of connective tissue (Lamina Propria), and bordered by a ribbon of smooth muscle, the muscularis Mucosa
Lamina Propria
Thin layer of connective tissue in the Mucosa
Mucosa Epithelium in the Esophagus and Anal Canal
Stratified Squamous
Mucosa Epithelium in the Stomach, Small intestine, and Large Intestine
Simple Columnar
Submucosa
connective tissue that has an abundant extracellular space for blood vessels, nerves, and mucous-secreting glands. Parasympathetic fibers can be seen as the Submucosal (Meissner’s) plexus in the submucosa
Muscularis Externa
Smooth Muscle arranged in an inner circular and outer longitudinal layer throughout most of the digestive tract. Parasympathetic fibers and ganglia can be seen as the Myenteric (Auerbach’s) plexus in this layer
Serosa
Simple Squamous Epithelium and connective tissue: outermst covering of the digestive tract
4 Layers/Tunics of the tubular Digestive tract
Mucosa
Submucosa
Muscularis Externa
Serosa
The muscles of the first 1/3 of the esophagus are striated why?
Pharynx and Mouth
to provide voluntary control of swallowing
The middle 1/3 of the esophagus of the esophagus contains what type of muscle?
A mixture of striated and smooth muscle
The final 1/3 of the esophagus contains what type of muscle?
Involuntary Smooth Muscle
Rugae
Folds in the stomach’s submucosa which can be viewed with the naked eye
true or False: When the mucosa is examined microscopically, it appears folded as well as the submucosa
True
Gasric Pits
Openings of folds of the mucosa and submucosa into the stomach lumen
Gastric Glands
The Cells that line the folds of the mucosa that are secretory
What are the Gastric Glands
Mucous Neck Cells Parietal Cells Chief Cells Enterochromaffin-Like Cells (ECLs) G Cells D Cells
Mucous Neck Cells
Secrete Mucous (Supplement the surface mucous cells whihch are in the epithelium of the stomach lumen and Gastric Pits
Parietal Cells
secrete Hydrochloric Acid
Chief Cells
Secrete Pepsinogen
Pepsinogen
inactive precursor of Pepsin a protein-digesting enzyme
Enterochromaffin-Like Cells (ECLs)
secrete Histamine
G Cells
Secrete Gastrin Hormone
D Cells
Secrete Somatostatin Hormone
Intrinsic Factor
Polypeptide secreted by the Gastric Mucosa which aids in the absorption of Vitamin B12 in the Intestine.
Vitamin B12 is needed for
Production of RBCs in the Bone Marrow.
Grhelin
A Hormone secreted by the stomach that rises before meals and serves as a signal from the stomach to the brain that helps regulate hunger
How long is the Small Intestine
Approximately 21 feet log
What are the 3 regions of the Small intestine
Duodenum
Jejunum
Ileum
Duodenum
1st region of the small intestine. Approx. 12 inches long
Jejunum
2nd region of the small intestine. Approx 8 feet long and constitutes 2/5 of the entire length of the intestine
ileum
about 12 feet long (constituting 3/5 of the intestine )
Terminal region of small intestine
Plicae Circulares
Large folds formed in the small intestine by the Mucosa and Submucosa.
The surface of the mucosa is further increased by
Microscopic folds that form fingerlike projections called villi
Brush Border Enzymes
Digestive Enzymes fixed to the cell membranes of the microvili and act together with enzymes from pancreatic juice to catalyze hydrolysis reactions of food molecules
Intestinal Crypts/ Crypts of Lieberkuhn
Eithelium at the base of the vili that invaginates
Paneth Cells
located at the bottom of the intestinal crypts int he small intestine. They secrete antibacterial lysozyme and bactericidal peptides
Intestinal Stem Cells
located at the bottom of intestinal crypts
divide by mitosis to replenish themselves ad to produce the specialized cells of the intestinal mucosa
How often do the Intestinal Stem Cells divide?
Twice a day in the crypts. At the top of the crypts, mitosis stops and the cells differentiate into secretory cells and enterocytes
Enterocytes
Intestinal Epithelial Cells. The Enterocytes migrate up towards the tips of the vili to replace the epithelial cells continually shed into the lumen.
Waste Products from the small intestine pass into the
Colon
Colon
Part of the large intestine where water, sodium, and potassium are absorbed
The mucosa of the Large intestine contains
Crypts of Lieberkuhn, but not vili. The surface has a flat appearance
