Q

Describe what’s happened in this histograph within the esophagus

A

GERD has led to Barret’s Esophagus

The chronic inflammation caused by gastric juices has transformed the non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium to become columnar mucus-secreting/glandular

Q

What major structure is being depicted below?

A

Myenteric Plexus of Auerbach

18
Q

Where is the muscularis mucosa found along the esophagus? Bonus: Why is it only found in this portion?

A. Upper/ superior portion

B. Upper and medial portion

C. Medial and lower portion

D. Lower/Inferior portion of the esophagus

A

D. Lower/Inferior portion of the esophagus

  • this is due to the presence of Cardiac glands in the lower portion of the esophagus, and the muscularis mucosa works to control motilitu of mucosa and mucosal glands
