(94 cards)
Label A-D of the alimentary tract, and the layers they are comprised of.


Label A-E of the small intestine.

A: Villi (in small intestine only!)
B: intestinal crypts (glands) bounded by a layer of pink smooth muscle
C: submucosa
D: muscularis externa
E: serosa (yellow here)
Label the 4 layers of the colon (rectum) wall.

B: muscularis externa
D: serosa
Label A-D in the colon.

A: lamina propria
B: epithelium
C: muscularis mucosae
D: submucosa
Label A-D of the villus.
What type of epithelium lines this?

A: enterocytes (intestinal cells)
B: goblet cells
C: lamina propria (contains defence cells and fibroblasts)
D: smooth muscle (from underlying muscularis mucosae)
Simple columnar
Label the cells on the base of the villus.

Arrows: plasma cells
Stars: lymphocytes (NB. some appear above epithelium BM = “interepithelial lymphocytes” - sample antigens in intestinal environmnet)
SM: smooth muscle
G: goblet cell
What part of the alimentary tract is this?
What kind of cell is it lined with?
Label A, B and the arrow.

Oesophagus (oropharynx -> stomach)
Stratified squamous (against abrasion)
A: aerolar fibrocollagenous tissue of lamina propria
B: darker staning SM of muscularis mucosae
Arrow: lymphocytes in MALT
Label A-D in the stomach.
What kind of cells are found as you go down? (4 types)

A: surface mucous cells
B: gastric pits
C: gastric glands
D: muscularis mucosae
Mucus neck cells (secrete mucus) -> Parietal cells (secrete HCl and IF) -> Endocrine cells (secrete hormones) -> Chief cells (secrete pepsinogen) - in base of pits

Identify A-E in the stomach

A: parietal cell (round)
B: chief cell
C: gastric pit
D: mucous neck cell (paler)
E: lamina propria
Label A-D of the oesophageal-gastric junction

A: gastric simple columnar, glandular mucosa
B: oesophageal stratified squamous epithelium
C: lamina propria
D: muscularis mucosae
Label A-D of the small intestine.
What are the arrows and bracket indicating?

A: mucosa
B: submucosa
C: muscularis propria/externa
D: serosa
Arrows: villi
Bracket: plicae circulares (larger folds)
Label the 3 types of cell found in the small intestine epithelium.

Arrows: goblet cells
Star: typical simple columnar enterocyte
Arrow head: MALT
What type of structure is indicated here?
What kinds of cells are found here?

Crypts of Lieberkuhn in small intestine. Glands.
Enterocytes, SC, endocrine cell, paneth cell
What type of cell is indicated here?

Paneth cell in Crypt of Lieberkuhn
Label A-C in the large intestine.
How does it differ from the small intestine?

A: mucosa
B: submucosa
C: taenia coli (3 bands of longitudinal SM in muscularis externa)
No villi and longer glands
What is G in the duodenum?

Brunner’s Glands, produce mucus-rich alkaline secretion
What is the yellow arrow pointing to in the small intestine?

Peyer’s patches (GALT) - lymphoid follicles for protection, lymphocytes make it blue.
Note the submucosa going outwards, plicae circulares
Label A and B in the large intestine.

A: tubular glands in mucosa (don’t stain well b/c lots of goblet cells there).
B: MALT/GALT
Note thin line of muscularis mucosae.
Where are the following mucosa found?

A: small intestine - villi in crypts
B: oesophagus - stratifed squamous epithelium
C: stomach - thick mucosa and glandular portion at top, see gastric pits and extended glandular portions
D: large intestine - colon, simple tubular glands with lots of goblet cells
Label the yellow, blue and red structures.

Yellow = innermost intercostal
Blue = internal intercostal
Red = external intercostal (finishes mid-clavicular)
Label A-F (nerve supply to abdomen).
What are the dermatome landmarks of the nerve supply to the abdomen?

A: subcostal
B: iliohypogastric
C: ilioinguinal
D: Obturator
E: Femoral
F: genitofemoral
T7 - xiphoid, T10 - umbillicus, T12 - subcostal nerve, L1 - iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves (both part of lumbar plexus).
Label A-E

A: rectus abdominis
B: linea alba
C: ASIS
D: inguinal ligament
E: tendinous intersection
Label A-E of the spermatic cord

A: genital branch of genitofemoral nerve
B: testicular artery
C: ductus deferens
D: pampiniform venous plexus
E: ilioinguinal nerve

Label A-D

A: ductus deferens
B: testicular vessels
C: genitofemoral nerve
D: ilioinguinal nerve
