Fundic glands
- Greater proportion of parietal and chief cells
- D cells inhibit acid secretion
Cardiac glands
-Mostly mucous cells (protects esophagus from reflux)
Pyloric glands
-G and D cells stimulate or inhibit acid secretion, respectively
Parietal cells look like
Acidophilic (pink) fried eggs
Chief cells look more ______ compared to parietal
Purple
Small intestine functions
- Adds bile from liver
- Adds digestive enzymes from pancreas
- Raises pH of food bolus
- Absorbs nutrients
Plicae circularis
Folds of mucosa and submucosa
Villi
Folds of mucosa only (contain lacteal -lymphatic duct-at core)
Microvilli
On enterocytes, may be visible as brush border
Enterocytes
- Columnar cells with microvilli
- Absorptive
Goblet cells
-Mucus-releasing cells that increase in number as they move towards the large intestine
Paneth cells
- At base of intestinal glands
- Acidophilic granules containing lysozymes
