Tongue, esophagus, stomach Flashcards
Describe the three layers of the mucosa?
Epithelial lining, corium (CT), Muscularis mucosa
What control the movement of the mucosa?
Muscularis Mucosa
How are the muscles in the muscularis mucosa is arranged?
Inner circular, outer longitudinal
What is the local nervous system of the GIT and where its located? and what their functions?
- Enteric plexus (Messiner plexus ) located in the sub-mucosa , mainly control the secreatory activity and the motility of the mucosa.
- Myenteric plexus ( Aurebach’s plexus) Located in the Muscularis externa, control the motility of the GIT
What is the lining of the dorsal surface of the tongue?
stratified squamous parakeratinized to keratinized epithelium,
What is the lining of the ventral surface of the tongue?
stratified squamous nonkeratinized epithelium.
What is the core muscle of the tongue?
skeletal muscle
The anterior 2/3 of the tongue is separated from the posterior 1/2 of the tongue by? and its apex ends at ?
Sulcus Terminalis
Foramen Cecum
List the names of all the tongue papillae, their features?
a. Filiform papillae are short, narrow, highly keratinized
structures lacking taste buds.
b. Fungiform papillae are mushroom-shaped structures
interspersed among the filiform papillae; they contain
occasional taste buds.
c. Foliate papillae are shallow longitudinal furrows on the lateral aspect of the posterior region of the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. Their taste buds degenerate shortly after the second year of life.
d. Circumvallate papillae are 10 to 15 large circular papillae,each of which is surrounded by a moat-like furrow. They lie just anterior to the sulcus terminalis and possess taste buds.
Which papillae does not posses tatse buds?
Filiform Papillae
Which papilla lose its taste buds in the 2nd year of life (degenerated)
Foliate papillae
Tastes buds are composed of what ?
- 60 to 80 spindle-shaped cells
- Each taste bud has a small opening, the taste pore
Taste hairs are……
Microvilli
Microvilli project into….
The oral cavity
The moat- like groove of the circumvalet papillae
How many cells are identified in the taste buds? and what are their functions?
Four different cells may be recognized:
- dark cells ,
- light cells
-intermediate cells (type III cells) have short life
spans; the fourth type are the short, regenerative, basal
cells.
Which type of stem cells are the basal regenerative cells?
Pluripotent
What is the life span of taste buds cells?
The process of going from a newly formed dark cell to a dead intermediate cell takes about 10 days.
Where is the site of nerve innervation in the taste bud?
basal cells synapses with afferent nerve fibers that deliver the taste information to the central nervous system.
What are the morphological regions of the GIT?
the esophagus, stomach, small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum), and large intestine (cecum,
colon, rectum, anal canal, and appendix).
What are the common histological layers of the GIT
- Mucosa
- Submucosa
- Musclaris Externa
- Serosa or Adventita
What is the main controlling nervous system of the GIT and what modifies it?
Enteric Plexus, Myenteric Plexus
- Sympathetic and Parasympathetic
What is the pace maker of the GIT and where its located? and how do they contract?
Interstitial cells of Cajal
Located in the Muscularis Externa
They are contract rhythmically
What is the function of the Auerbach’s Myenteric plexus? And where its located?
- regulates the activity of the muscularis externa.
- is situated between the muscle layers ( muscularis externa)
The muscularis externa motility is controlled by?
Auerbach’s Myenteric plexus
Intraperitoneal organs are covered by?
Serosa
Retroperitoneal organs are covered by?
Adventitia ( dense irregular connective tissue)
What is the epithelial lining of the esophagus?
stratified squamous nonkeratinized epithelium.
How many layer of muscles in the muscularis mucosa of the esophagus?
single longitudinal layer of smooth muscle.
The esophageal lamina propria and submucosa contain….?
mucus-secreting esophageal and cardiac glands.
