36
Q

where is simple columnar epithelium in the GI

A

glandular stomach on

37
Q

what is homogenizes and processes food function of the glandular stomach

A
  • chemically via enzymes and acids secreted by the mucosa
  • mechanically via muscular churning of the stomach wall
38
Q

where does the epithelium change in the stomach

A

stratified squamous in the esophagus (nonglandular) to simple columnar (glandular)

39
Q

the stomach is lined by longitudinal folds called

A

rugae

disappear when stomach distends

40
Q

what do the mucus cells in epithelium secrete

A

protective gel layer: gastric mucosal barrier

41
Q

what are the two functions of the gastric mucosal barrier

A
  • protect stomach lining from auto-digestion
  • protect stomach from abrasion with food
42
Q

what do cardiac glands secrete

A

alkaline mucus

43
Q

what do gastric (fundic) glands secrete

A

mucus, HCL, and pepsinogen

44
Q

what do pyloric glands secrete

A

45
Q

where are the gastric (fundic) glands located

A

fundus/body

46
Q

what type of cells are in the neck of the gastric glands

A

mucous cells and stem cells

47
Q

  • chief cells
  • parietal cells
  • stem cells

Q

what does the mucus blanket (gastric mucosal barrier) do

A

Q

enteroendocrine cells are ____

A

monohormonal
