Q

STOMACH
distinguishing histological features : lamina propria

A

Lamina propria
* loose CT with immune cells
* lymphocytes, plasma cells,
eosinophils & macrophages
STOMACH

17
Q

STOMACH
distinguishing histological features : submucosa

A
  • dense irregular connective tissue
  • Vessels
  • Meissner’s nerve plexus
  • adipose
    STOMACH
18
Q

STOMACH
distinguishing histological features : muscularis externa

A
  • 3 layers of smooth muscle
  • nerves & vessels between
  • Myenteric (Auerbach’s Plexus)
19
Q

STOMACH components

A

Gastric pit
where the surface epithelium
dips down into lamina propria

Gastric gland
branched tubular
variety of cell types

Enteroendocrine cells
Hormones - Gastrin, VIP….

20
Q

stomach surface - epithelial cells

A

Entire surface of the gastric mucosa is lined with
columnar epithelial cells that dip down to form gastric pits
Mucous cells located between the epithelial cells
Most abundant in neck of glands
Secrete mucous
Nucleus at base of cell, apical cytoplasm filled with mucous

21
Q

parietal cells

A

Parietal cells secrete HCl (digestion) and intrinsic factor (allows body to absorb Vit B12
loss of production Pernicious Anaemia)

  • Intracellular canalicular system that opens into lumen of gland
  • numerous microvilli projections
  • ++ mitochondria
22
Q
A
23
Q

parietal cell TE micrograph

A
  • triangular shaped cell
  • central nucleus
  • cytoplasm 40% mitochondria
    + sER abundant
  • intracellular canaliculi
    with microvilli
24
Q

cheif cells

A

located deep in the gland
protein secreting ( pepsinogen)
rER & granules gives cytoplasm a bluish colour
Pepsinogen + HCl (pepsin) causes protein ==> peptides

25
Q

Enteroendocrine cells - G cells, enterochromaffin cells

A

Secrete into the blood vessels which is regulated by gastric contents
Small cells +/- short microvilli

gastrin, histamine, cholecystokinin, somatostatin, VIP, substance P
STOMACH

26
Q

Small Intestine : Plicae circularis

A

what : ridge of submucosa & mucosa
where : seen in longitudinal sections
greatest number in the duodenum

27
Q

Small Intestine : villi

A

what: projections of the
mucosa (0.5mm –
1.5mm long)
where: epithelium with a
core of lamina
propria
Longest in the
jejunum

28
Q

small intestine : Striated border

A

what: microvilli on the
apical surface of
epithelial cells
where: ~ 2,000/cell, actin
core

29
Q

small intestine mucosa

A

Simple columnar epithelium
* + goblet, paneth and
enteroendocrine cells

* initiates gastric & intestinal motility
* stimulates insulin release
* paracrine (local) effects also

34
