Test 2: Lecture 19, 20, 21: Digestive Flashcards
3 layers of the GI tract
mucosa
submucosa
muscularis externa
3 layers of mucosa
epithelium
lamina propria
muscularis mucosae
carnivore stomachs have an extra layer in the mucosa called the
lamina subglandularis
there is no ___ in the mouth/pharynx/part of the esophagus in a rumen
muscularis mucosae
the lamina propria is ___ with lymphocytes and circulatory channels
loose connective tissue
The muscularis mucosae is made of ___ usually only ___ layers thick
smooth muscle
a few cell
what type of epithelium does the stomach, small intestine and large intestine have?
simple columnar epithelium (used for passive and active absorption)
what part of the digestive tract have stratified squamous epithelium?
lips to cardiac stomach
anal canal
(protection)
what part of the digestive tract have simple cuboidal epithelium
kidney
ducts of GI have what type of epithelium?
pseudo stratified and stratified columnar
submucosa is made of ___ tissue and contains __
dense irregular connective tissue
blood vessels
where is the submucosal plexus found?
submucosa
which layer of the GI tract is missing in the mouth?
submucosa
muscularis externa are two layers of smooth muscle with a ___ in between
nerve plexus (myenteric plexus)
layers of muscularis externa
a. Inner circular layer (smooth muscle): reduces gut diameter
b. Myenteric Plexus (enteric nervous system)
c. Outer longitudinal layer (smooth muscle): reduces gut length
Adventitia
outermost layer of GI tract
loose CT
Inside the abdominal cavity (intraperitoneal), the adventitia is draped by serous membranes (mesothelium) and is renamed “serosa”
Inside the abdominal cavity (intraperitoneal), the adventitia is draped by serous membranes (mesothelium) and is renamed ___
serosa
how is gut innervated?
autonomic innervation
parasympathetic
sympathetic
enteric
parasympathetic innervation of the GI promotes
rest and digest
passage of food through GI
Parasympathetic innervation to the upper g.i.: ___: innervation to mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, pancreas, liver, etc.
Vagus Nerve (cranial nerve X)
Parasympathetic innervation to the lower g.i.: ___: particularly important for defecation.
Pelvic Nerve
