Accessory Organs
where is the GIT composition similiar
what are villi
what is the lumen
Why does the lumen have large surface area
What is the epithelium layer of the mucosa
apical surface of the epithelial layer of the mucosa
lateral surface of the epithelial layer of the mucosa
basal surface of the epithelial layer of the mucosa
where are there transport proteins in the epithelial layer of the mucosa
where and why are tight junctions in the epithelial layer of the mucosa
transcellular pathway
paracellular pathway
layers of the mucosa: lamina propria
layers of the mucosa: muscularis mucosa
Epithelial layer of the mucosa: stem cells
what are the crypts in the epithelium
How is the epithelial layer of the mucosa replaced
Submucosa
Muscularis Externa
Muscularis Externa myenteric nerve plexus
Muscularis externa logitudinal muscle
Gastrointestinal Blood supply
How does blood perfuse to the livefr
what blood doese the liver recieve
Regulation of GI Processes
Gastrointestinal reflexes are initiated by
GI process stimulation promotion receptors
Intrinsic Regulation of GI Processes
what neurons are controled by intrinsic regulation in the GI system
Intrinsic network of neurons
How does the CNS effect the intrinsic regulation of the GI
Extrinsic Neuronal Regulation of GI processes
Sympathetic vs parasympathetic effects
Long neural regulation through reflexes
Endocrine
Neurocrine
Paracrine
Autocrine
Hormonal control of GI activity
general facts about hormones
CCK
Peristalsis
Small intstine motility: segmentation
Basic electrical rhythm
What controls the force of contraction and frequency of contraction
