Week 2 Flashcards
Name the three parts of the small intestine
- Duodenum
- Jejunum
- Ileum
Internal appearance of the duodenum
First part- mucosa is smooth( dilation of the tube after the pyloric sphincter)
Second-fourth part: circular folds from mucosa and submucosa(spiral chyme as it moves down)
Major duodenal papilla
- opening to secrete mucous
- near head of the pancreas
- common bile duct and principal pancreatic duct
- contains opening to hepatopancreatic ampulla
- longitudinal fold
Minor duodenal papilla
- about an inch superior to the major duodenal papilla
- donations opening to accessory pancreatic duct
- pretty insignificant, can be absent and everything else just flow to major duodenal papilla
General about jejunum and ileum
- freely mobile
- attaches to posterior abdominal wall by the mesentery of the small intestine
Number of arcades of the mesentery for j and I
J-1-2
I-3 or more
Vasa reacts of the mesentery differences for j and I
J-long
I-short
Circular folds for j and I
J- large and many
I- small and few
Arcades of the mesentery definition
Where intestinal branches anastomose
Horological differences between 3 parts of the small intestine
Duodenum- Bruner’s glands: of the submucosa and secrete mucus
Ileum- Peyer’s patches: lymphatic nodules from mucosa(lamina propria) and submucosa. Can contain 10-100
Jejunum-neither
Pancreas exocrine portion
-makes up 99% of the pancreatic cells
Acini
- clusters of exocrine cells that produce digestivev enzymes which flow into the GI tract through a network of ducts.
- cells associated with acinar cells produce sodium bicarbonate which makes the fluid alkaline and helps neutralize the pH from the HCL
Pancreatic juice
- collective secretions from the exocrine cells
- digest carbohydrates, proteins and fats
Hepatopancreatic ampulla
- combination of main pancreatic duct and common bile duct
- enters the duodenum
- visible within the duodenum as the major duodenal papilla
- muscle around it is the hepatopancreatic ampulla sphincter
Accessory pancreatic duct
- smaller than hepatopancreatic ampulla
- enters the dupdenum at the minor duodenal papilla
