Lect 36 & 37- Digestive Glands and Liver Flashcards
what does the delicate CT of the pancreas contain
blood vessels, lymphatics, nerves, and excretory ducts
what is the main excretory duct in the pancreas
duct of wirsung
what is the small accessory duct in the pancreas
duct of santorini
what are interlobular ducts of the pancreas lined with
simple columnar epithelium and goblet cells
what are intercalated ducts of the pancreas lined with and what cells are in there
lined with low cuboidal cells: cells with receptors for secretin and that secrete water and bicarbonate ion
what do plasma cells in the parotid gland of the pancreas secrete
immunoglobulin A
what do the centroacinar cells of the pancreas form
form a truncated epithelium within the lumen of acini that is continuous with the epithelium of the intercalated duct (unique to pancreas)
what is the release of digestive enzymes from serous acinar cells stimulated by
CCK
what are bicarbonate-rich alkaline fluids released by and in response to what
released by ductal epithelial cells in response to secretin
how are synthesis and secretion of digestive enzymes in pancreas controlled
by peptides secreted by duodenal enteroendocrine cells
what is the secretion of bicarbonate ions in the pancreas regulated by
secretin
describe A cells (alpha cells) of the islets of langerhans
have fine cytoplasmic granules and are presumed to form glucagon
describe B-Cells (beta cells) of the islets of langerhans
have coarse cytoplasmic granules; they are more numerous than alpha cells and produce insulin
describe D-cells (delta cells) of the islets of langerhans
secrete somatostatin, which helps to control levels of insulin and glucagon
what does the space of disse do
separates hepatic cells from endothelial cells
active in transfer between blood and parenchyma
what is then space of mall continuous with
space of disse
what does the space of mall drain into
lymphatics
describe classic hepatic lobules
central venule is in the center of the lobule
portal triads are at the angles
describe portal hepatic lobules
three central venues of adjacent lobules forms a triangle
portions of the bile canaliculi of the 3 lobules drains into the same bile duct
describe the liver acinus hepatic lobules
includes 3 zones defined by hepatic tissue receiving blood form a branch of the hepatic artery conducting blood to opposite central veins
metabolic gradient extends from hepatic triad to central vein
what happens in zone one of the hepatic lobule
hepatocytes actively synthesize glycogen and plasma protein. oxygen concentration in sinusoidal blood is high
what happens in zone 3 (central venous drainage) of hepatic lobules
it is the region where oxygen concentration is poorest. it has a role in detoxification. hepatocytes are susceptible to damage caused by hypoxia
where is the portal triad found
at angles (corners) of classic lobule
