Q

parietal cells

A
  • fundic glands
  • large, pyramidal, acidophilic
  • bulge toward periphery
  • many mitochondria
  • intracelluar canaliculus when active (microvilli)
  • inactive: tubulovesiclar membranes
  • produce acidity –> pump H and Cl into lumen
  • secrete intrinsic factor

Q

chief/zymogen/peptic cells

A
  • fundic glands
  • most numerous cell type
  • columnar
  • pale basophilic staining
  • apices have zymogen granules with pepsinogen, gastric lipase
  • secrete rennin in young animals

Q

enteroendocrine cells

A
  • APUD system
  • sparsely in stomach/intestine
  • basal granules
  • singly, adjacent to basal lamina
  • apex may not reach lumen

Q

APUD cells

A
  • enteroendocrine cells
  • secrete mostly into interstitium where hormones diffuse into blood vessels/nearby target cells
  • secretions important for coordination and control of GI function
  • cell may secrete more than 1 type of hormone

- give rise to all cells of gastric gland

Q

how do mucous cells differ

A
  • in type of mucin produced
  • mucin = glycoproteins (mucus)
  • mucus = free “slime” of mucous membranes

Q

mucous cells of glands

A
  • low columnar
  • flattened/crescent shaped basal nuclei

Q

goblet cells

A
  • singly or in small clusters throughout intestine
  • narrow base, flared apex
  • flattened basal nuclei

Q

epithelium of ruminant forestomach

A
  • stratified squamous, slightly cornified
  • cell to cell attachment by desmosomes
  • swollen cells
  • wide intercellular spaces for absorption
  • VFAs are absorbed and metaboolized

Q

omasum

A
  • mechanical digestion

- muscularis mucosa and t muscularis interdigitate

17
Q

plicae circularis

A
  • folds of mucosa and submucosa that are permanent in some species
  • increase surface area of jejunum especially
18
Q

t mucosa of small intestine

A
  • intestinal villi
  • central lacteal (blind ended lymphatic) in center of villus for chylomicron transport
  • strands of smooth muscle from muscularis mucosa extend into villus
  • intestinal mucosal glands –> crypts
19
Q

lamina propria of small intestine

A
  • reticular fibers and many free cells
  • lymphatic nodules
  • peyer’s patches (ileum)
20
Q

muscularis mucosa of small intestine

A

2 layers of smooth muscle

21
Q

t submucosa of small intestine

A
  • aggregated lymphatic nodules in ileum
  • intestinal submucosal glands
  • submucosal nerve plexus
22
Q

intestinal submucosal glands of small intestine

A
  • simple branched tubuloacinar glands
  • open into base of intestinal mucosal glands
  • apical membrane bound granules and basal RER
  • secretion is mucous or serous or mixed, protective substances (intestinal mucosal barrier)
23
Q

t muscularis/serosa of small intestine

A
  • muscularis: 2 layers of smooth muscle, myenteric nerve plexus
  • t serosa
