Alimentary canal components
Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum
Accessory digestive organ components
Teeth, tongue, gallbladder, salivary glands, liver, pancreas
4 general layers of all the GI tract and characteristics of them
1) Mucosa (innermost layer stratified squamous epithelium containing mucosal glands, lamina propria, muscularis mucosae)
2) submucosa (connective tissue housing vascular, lymphatic, and nerve supply)
3) Muscularis externa (inner circular and outer longitudinal layer of smooth muscle with peristaltic like activity)
4) serosa/adventitia (connective tissue, serosa reduces friction as a viceral peritoneum, adventitia anchors organ
Myenteric plexus
Nervous system located in the muscularis externa between layers that receives innervation from autonomic nerve fibers (such as vagus?) to activate contractile/peristaltic activity
Important difference between adventitia and serosa when it comes to pathology
Adventitia anchors one organ to another and thus can spread infection or cancer more easily than a thick serosa which functions to avoid friction
Intraperitoneal organs have serosa or adventitia?
Serosa
Retroperitoneal organs have serosa or adventitia?
Adventitia
Visceral peritoneum
A thick layer of serosa that lines the organs of most digestive organs
Parietal peritoneum
A thick layer of serosa that lines the body cavity wall
