make mucus and absorb water; some nutrient absorption
large intestine
how long do contents stay in small intestine
half a day
how long do contents stay in large intestine
a day
how long can contents stay in sigmoid to rectum
days to weeks
lymphoid tissue from waldeyer’s ring to the gut (GI tract lined with this)

specialized antigen presenting cells that overlie peyer’s patches
M or microfold cells
where you have biggest collection of lymphocytes in distal ileum
peyer’s patches
____ lymphocytes predominate in GALT
B lymphocytes
spleen has what tissue
GALT
lamina propria lymphocytes are ___ -secreting B cells
IgA
lymphoid tissue
antigen presenting cells migrate here and antibodies produced throughout the gut are IgA
lymph nodes
function of this is a barrier to microbes and toxins
small intestine
___ is secreted from GALT
IgA
____ is secreted from Paneth cells
antimicrobials
___ is secreted from goblet cells
mucus
alkaline secretion containing electrolytes is secreted from ____
Crypts of Lieberkuhn
absorbs iron, nutrients, water, drugs
small intestine
first entry portal for iron absorption
duodenum
____ and ____ are broken down to small components absorbed in capillaries
carbs and proteins
___ are broken down and absorbed through lymphatic system
fats
___transports fats into lacteals
chylomicrons
Na+ dependent glucose absorption through
SGLT-1
fructose taken up by ____ (glut receptor)
GLUT5
all sugars are transported to portal system by _____ (glut receptor)
GLUT2
mucosa associated lymphoid tissue; also gut associated lymphoid tissue
MALT and GALT
_____ in stomach is most commonly associated with H. pylori
Malt Lymphoma
low grade non-hodgkin lymphoma
Malt Lymphoma
B cell lymphoma
Malt Lymphoma
Sjogren’s and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis can lead to this
malt lymphoma
surface marker on lymphocytes and binds to B cells
CD20
Malt lymphoma (too many peyers patches)
autoimmune disease targeting gliadin
Celiac Disease
associated with dermatitis herpetiformis
celiac disease
histopathologic findings: damage to small intestine villi mostly in duodenum and proximal jejunum
celiac disease
has an increased risk of T-cell lymphoma
celiac disease
celiac
celiac disease
dermatitis herpetiformis
A rare pruritic chronic skin blistering disease associated with a gluten allergy and at high risk of developing celiac disease
dermatitis herpetiformis
Microabscesses at the tips of dermal papillae with granular deposits of IgA against gliadin
M>F (20s-30s)
dermatitis herpetiformis
cause unknown
rare malabsorption disease
damage to villi prominent in jejunum and ileum
Tropical Sprue
damage to villi with this disorder prominent in duodenum
celiac disease
responds to antibiotics unlike celiac, which will respond to gluten free diet
tropical sprue
rare neuroendocrine tumor found most commonly in the appendix (but can be found anywhere in intestines)
Carcinoid tumor
can be part of MEN 1 or 2
Carcinoid tumor
main sx is diarrhea (Rx w/ Octreotide)
carcinoid tumor
occurs when a tumor produces too much serotonin, which is released into the bloodstream. This can happen when a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) metastasizes to the liver, which interferes with the liver’s ability to process serotonin
carcinoid syndrome
IHC marker for carcinoid tumor
Chromogranin A (CgA)
small intestine
rosette formation in carcinoid tumor
carcinoid tumor
Physical loss or functional loss of a portion of the small/large intestine; reduced ability to absorb nutrients, minerals, trace elements, vitamins and water
short bowel syndrome
can lead to malnutrition and weight loss
short bowel syndrome
occurs after a gastric bypass allowing food to move too quickly into small intestine
dumping syndrome
GLP-2 analogue that is used to treat short bowel syndrome
Teduglutide
water and alcohol absorbed where
the stomach
iron and vitamins A,D, E, K absorbed where
duodenum
water soluble vitamins absorbed where
jejunum
bile salts and bile acids absorbed where
Ileum
farmers who work around sewage water; bacterial infection that causes multi-system disorder
Whipple Disease
Tropheryma whippelii are ingested by macrophages and occupy the ____ in Whipple Disease
lamina propria
patient develops steatorrhea b/c chylomicrons cant be transported to lacteals
Whipple Disease
microbes filling lamina propria (ground glass looking)
Whipple Disease
commonly caused by atherosclerosis or a clot
occlusion of SMA
dead bowel due to occlusion
occlusion of SMA
necrosis of tissue
can lead to peritonititis
