Q
Acini
A
clusters of exocrine cells in pancreas that produces digestive enzymes which flow into the GI tract though a network of ducts
22
Q
What do cells that are associated with acinar cells priduce?
A
sodium bicarbonate which makes the fluid alkaline
23

A
-exits pancreas and merges with the common bile duct
25
common bile duct
from the liver and gallbladder
26
hepatopancreatic ampulla
the combined common bile duct and main pancreatic duct that enters the duodenum (visibile as the major duodenal papilla)
27
accessory pancreatic duct
-smaller, second duct exits the pancreas to empty into the duodenum
28
Where does the accessory pancreatic duct empty into in the duodenum?
minor dudodenal papilla
29
Path of Bile flow from the liver into the duodenum
R/L hepatic ducts---common hepatic duct (joined by cystic duct)----common bile duct (joins main pancreatic duct)----hepatopancreatic ampulla (delivery route of bile into the duodenum at the major duodenal papilla)
30
identifying external features of the large intestine
- Teniae Coli
- Omental appendices (epiploic appendices)
- Haustra
31
Teniae Coli
ligament-type things that are running along the length of the large intestine. they are shorter than the actual large intestine causing it to "scrunch" up and form haustra
32
omental appendices (epiploic appendices)
unique to large intestine
| -NOT in rectum
33
Haustra
- Large intestine
| - Pouches
34
internal features of Large intestine
- Ileal orifice
- superior and inferior lips
- orifice of the appendix
35
Ileal orifice
- internal feature of LI
- keeps the ileum from releasing too much into cecum all at once
- located on medial wall
36
superior and inferior lips of the ileal orifice
- LI
| - form the ileocecal valve POSTMORTEM
37
Ileal papilla
- LI
| - form the ileocecal valve IN VIVO
38
orifice of the appendix
- LI
| - located inferior to the ileal orifice
39
Large intestine histology
- goblet cells abundant in the mucosa
| - allows for easier movement of fecal matter in large intestine
40
Appendix
-contains large groupings of lymphatic nodules (similar to Peyer's patches) that are located in the lamina propria and A LITTLE in the submucosa
41
Appendicitis onset
-mild pain near umbilicus
42
Why is there mild pain near umbilicus with onset of appendicitis?
sensory fibers of appendix goes to umbilical region at first
43
appendicitis a couple hours in
pain/tenderness to touch is located in RLQ over McBurney's point
-normal to experience nausea and vomitting
44
McBurney's point
Draw imaginary line from umbilicus to iliac crest and at about the lateral 3rd of that line is where the appendix USUALLY sits, it can vary greatly
45

58
sympathetic innervation of abdominal part of GI tract and accessory organs
- preganglionic fibers origiante in lower thoracic and upper lumabr spinal cord segments
- leave spinal cord in corresponding spinal nerves
- white communicating rami
- pass THROUGH symp trunk (don't synapse)
- leave in splanchnic nerves (greater,lesser,least)
- terminate in prevertebral ganglia (associated with abdominal aorta) where they synapse with postganglionic neurons

- prevertebral ganglion (infant of vertebral column)
- supplies postganglionic fibers to:
- somtach
- upper duodenum
- pancreas
- liver
- gallbladder
- spleen
60

- ascending colon
- proximal 2/3 transverse colon

- distal 1/3 transverse colon
- descending colon
- sigmoid colon
- rectum
- upper anal canal
*same as artery
62
symp innervation of ab/GI
- postganglionic fibers originate from prevertebral ganglia
- form plexuses around corresponding arteries and their branches to reach target organs (innervate same organs arteries supply)
63
Parasympathetic innervation of Ab/GI
- Vagus nerve and pelvic splanchnic carry pre/postganglionic fibers
- vagus enters abdomen as the anterior and posterior vagal trunks
- vagal branches join celiac plexus and superior mesenteric plexus
- target organs are reached via these plexuses
- synapse with postganglionic neurons in walls of target organs
- distributed along with branches of the abdominal aorta
64
what carries preganglionic parasymp fibers?
vagus nerves and pelvic splanchnic nerves
65
Where does the vagus nerve vary preganglionic parasympathetic fibers from?
spinal cord segments S2-S4
66
Where do the preganglionic parasymp fibers enter from the vagus nerve?
inferior hypogastric plexus and inferior mesenteric plexus
| -target organs are reached via these plexuses
67
Where preganglionic parasymp fibers synapse once they go to the inferior hypogastric plexus and inferior mesenteric plexus?
synapse with postganglionic fibers in walls of target organs
| -distributed along with branches of the inferior mesenteric artery
