small intestine, pancreas, large intestine and mesenteric arteries Flashcards
1st part of the duodenum
- mucosa is smooth
- also referred to bulb, ampulla, cap
2nd-4th part of the duodenum
-mucosa and submucosa form numerous folds
circular folds
- mucosa and submucosa form these in the 2nd-4th parts of the duodenum
- spiral chyme onward for continuous break up and mixing
major duodenal papilla
- near head of pancreas
- contains opening to hepatopancreatic ampulla
- longitudinal fold right below this in the dudoenum
- has a hood over it.
minor duodenal papilla
- superior to major duodenal papilla
- contains opening of accessory pancreatic duct
What keeps the jejunum and Ileum attached to the abdominal wall?
the mesenteric root of the mesentery of the small intestine, posteriorly
Arcades of mesentery in Jejunum
1-2 loops
Arcades of mesentery in the Ileum
3+ loops
Arcades of mesentery
Where ileo/jejunal branches anastomes
Vasa Recta of mesentery
straight arteries that come off arcades
Vasa recta of jejunum
Long
Vasa recta of Ileum
short
circular folds of ileum
few and small
circular fold of jejunem
large and many
Histology of duodenum
Brunner’s glands of the submucosa
Brunner’s glands
in the submucoas of duodenum, secret mucus
Histology of Ileum
Peyer’s pathes of the Mucosa (lamina Propria) and submucosa
Peter’s Patches
In the lamina propria of the mucosa and submucosa in the ileum
lymphatic nodules
Histology of Jejunum
nothing special
Pancreatic cells
99% exocrine
Acini
clusters of exocrine cells in pancreas that produces digestive enzymes which flow into the GI tract though a network of ducts
What do cells that are associated with acinar cells priduce?
sodium bicarbonate which makes the fluid alkaline
pancreatic juices
the collective secretions from the exocrine cells
-will digest carbs, proteins, and fats
main pancreatic duct
-exits pancreas and merges with the common bile duct
common bile duct
from the liver and gallbladder
hepatopancreatic ampulla
the combined common bile duct and main pancreatic duct that enters the duodenum (visibile as the major duodenal papilla)
