Week 8 Lec Flashcards
large intestine absorption struc
microvilli
simple columnar epithelial cells
large intestine secretion struc
abundant Goblet cells
crypts of lieberkuhn
large intestine elimination struc
teniae coli of muscularis externa
sphinctors
colon mucosa
Mucosa
* simple columnar epithelium
* muscularis mucosae
* cellular lamina propria
* NO villi
* simple tubular glands = crypts of Lieberkuhn
* stem cells in bottom of crypts
colon Submucosa type of CT
dense irregular connective tissue
colon muscularis externa
- inner circular smooth muscle
- outer longitudinal smooth muscle = tenia coli
colon serosa
- simple squamous mesothelium
- loose connective tissue
colon epithelium
Enterocytes – simple
columnar epithelia
Goblet cells abundant,
4:1 in colon
Crypts of Lieberkuhn
Lamina propria
Muscularis mucosae
Auerbach’s plexus
located between the inner & outer smooth muscle
between circular and longtiudnal muscle
Colon = large intestine
How does it differ from the small intestine?
- 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
Anal Canal
distinguishing histological features : upper region
simple columnar epithelium
numerous glands + goblet cells
smooth muscle
Anal Canal
distinguishing histological features : lower region
stratified squamous epithelium
numerous glands
skeletal muscle
Anal Canal
distinguishing histological features : anal columns
vertical fold of mucosa and submucosa
allow stretch
contain rectal arteries and veins
liver bile production function
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)
liver alcohol metabolism function
ALCOHOL metabolized to acetate + acetaldehyde
excreted in urine, skin, lung
