Stomach Flashcards
What is the surface epithelium of the mucosa of the stomach
Simple columnar
What type of cells are found in the mucosa of the stomach
Surface
Regenerative cells
What is the function of surface mucous
Produce- thick visible mucus
Secrete- bicarbonate ions
what is the lamina propia like in the stomach
Loose, vascular CT, present in small amounts between glands
What is the muscularis mucosae of the mucosa in the stomach like
- Inner circular
- Outer longitudinal
- Outermost circular/ oblique
WELL DEVELOPED
What is the Submucosa of the stomach like
Highly vascular
Location of AVA= arteriovenous anastomosis TQ
What is the function of the AVA
To shut down activity and secretion FAST in the stomach
Where is the AVA found?
Submucosa
Where is the Meissners plexus located in the stomach
Next to the inner circular layer of muscle in the Submucosa
What is the function of submucosal Meissners plexus
To influence the mucosa
I.E.- secretion, blood flow, any limited muscle contractions
What is the muscularis externa located in the stomach
Between cardiac region and greater curvature, all smooth muscle
What are the three layers of muscularis externa
- Innermost oblique- sometimes
- Middle circular- well developed
- Outer longitudinal- THIN
TQQQQQQQQ
Where is the myenteric (Auerbachs) plexus located in the stomach
Between the circular and longitudinal layers of muscle
Function is to stimulate the muscularis externa
Where is the serosa located in the stomach
THE ENTIRE STOMACH
THe cardiac region of the stomach is special because it
HAS NO CHIEF CELLS
What type of cells are in the cardiac region of stomach
Primarily surface mucous, some neck mucous, and few DNES and parietal cells
Where does the gastric region at
Gastric glands extend from gastric pit to MM
