Q

Colon = large intestine
How does it differ from the small intestine?

A
  • To increase functional surface area:
    microvilli only
  • Goblet cells abundant in epithelium
    for lubrication
  • NO paneth cells
  • NO villi
  • Crypts of leiberkuhn – simple tubular glands
  • Teniae coli of muscularis externa

Q

liver bile production function

A

BILE production
Bile contains cholesterol, bile salts (made from cholesterol == Emulsifies fats in GIT ), phospholipids and bile pigment (haem in erythrocytes=> bilirubin ==give faeces their colour)

excreted in urine, skin, lung

16
Q

liver aa metabolism function

A

Amino acids–> ammonia–> urea excreted by kidneys

17
Q

liver plasma prodteins production function

A

Production of plasma proteins such as albumin and clotting factors

18
Q

liver lipids production function

A

Lipid metabolism (cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids)

19
Q

lipid storage function

A

Storage of iron, Vit B12, folic acid and glycogen

20
Q

Portal triad

A

portal vein
hepatic artery
bile duct

21
Q

Hepatocytes Surface specializations:

A
  • 2 free surfaces facing sinusoids covered in short microvilli
  • Desmosomes & gap junctions between hepatocytes
  • Bile canaliculi (1μm diameter) between hepatocytes
22
Q

Sinusoids epithelium

A

Endotheium
discontinuous with large fenestrae and
incomplete basement membrane

23
Q

sinusoids kupffer cells

A

Phagocytes destroy microorganisms, damaged erythrocytes…
No junctions with the endothelial cells
Rest on the apical surface of the endothelial cells in the
sinusoid lumen

24
Q

sinusoids stellate cells

A

Store Vitamin A
Activated in liver disease to secrete collagen –> fibrotic cirrhosis

25
Q

Space of Disse

A
  • Site of exchange of material between blood & hepatocytes
  • Lies between the surface of hepatocytes & endothelial cells
  • Hepatocyte microvilli project into this space
  • Stellate cells located in space of disse

Plasma that remains in space of disse (lymph) drains away via
canals then lymph vessels in the portal triads to thoracic duct
Space of Disse

26
Q

Gallbladder function

A
  1. Stores, concentrates & adds mucus to BILE
  2. BILE released in response to fatty foods in duodenum
27
Q

gall bladder

A

Folded mucosa
simple columnar epithelium + lamina propria
* Muscularis externa
* Adventitia with elastic fibres & adipocytes
& outer free surface covered with serosa (peritoneum)
* NO muscularis mucosae or submucosa present

28
Q

Pancreas functions acini

A

ACINI secretions contain over 20 digestive inactive enzymes
trypsinogens, protease, elastase, lipase…
plus water & electrolytes

29
Q

pancreas function ducts

A

Pancreatic DUCTS add bicarbonate ions (alkaline fluid)

30
Q

pancreas duodenal mucosa function

A

Enteropeptidases released from DUODENAL MUCOSA
activate the enzymes for digestion

31
Q

Pancreas Duodenal enteroendocrine cells

A

release cholecystokinin CCK & secretin into the blood
CKK : enzyme secretion
secretin : water & electrolyte secretion
