Mod 2- Digestive System Flashcards
4 general layers of the GI channel
- Mucosa
- Submucosa
- Muscularis externa
- Serosa
what makes up the mucosa layer
- inner layer made of loose connective tissue (lamina propria)
- has lymph vessles/glands
- has two layers of smooth muscle (muscular mucosal)
what makes up the submucosa layer
- dense, irregular fibroelastic connective tissue
- submucosal nerve plexus (controls motility)
- blood and lymph vessels
what makes up the muscular externa and what is found there
- inner circular and outer longitudinal smooth muscle (for peristaltic activity)
- Auebach myentric plexus
function of serosa (and adventitia)
no function
-invested in peritoneum (covers it)
what innervates the Gi cannel
Enteric nervous system (messners and auerbachs)
Parasympathetic and sympathesic
what are the 2 sphincters of the GI canal
high- pharyngoesophageal
low- external and internal gastroesphogeal
at what portion of the esophagus would you likely see 2 diff types of muscle
usually middle third of esophagus
what 3 structures make up the esophageal wall
Mucosa- non keratinized strat squamous
Musculature- inner circular and outer longitudinal
Adevntia
what enzymes are released in the stomach
Pepsin, rennin and gastric lipase
what are the 4 gastric glands that line the mucosa of the stomach
- Mucous cells
- Parietal cells
- chief cells
- endocrine cells
what does the stomach secrete a day
-water
-hcl
-gastric intrincic factor
enzymes
mucus
how are the glands of the stomach structured and what are the 6 things found in it
each fundic gland extends from the muscular mucosal to the base of the gastric pit and contains :
Surface lining cells regenerative cells Mucous parietal chief enteroedocrine
Function of surface lining cells
produce soluble mucus which mixes w plus to reduce friction
function of regenerative cells
replace all specialized cells in the gastric pit
