what is the epithelium of the esophagus lined by?

26
true or false: the human stomach is glandular
true
27
what are the three distinct parts of the stomach?
cardia, fundus, pylorus
28
what part of the stomach are the gastric glands extensive?
fundic
29
what is the purpose of the gastric glands?
secrete the gastric juice which is rich in hydrochloric acid and enzymes that digest proteins
30
what is the pH of the stomach close to?
2
31
how does the stomach protect itself from its own secretions?
the surface of the stomach is lined by surface mucous cells that secrete a thick lining of mucous
32
describe parietal cells
cells responsible for secreting hydrochloric acid. They have specialized channels in their cytoplasm that help to move the hydrochloric acid out without digesting the cell.
33
what is the purpose of chief cells?
secrete pepsinogen that is converted to *pepsin* in the presence of hydrochloric acid. *This enzyme digests proteins*
34
what is the purpose of enteroendocrine cells?
secrete hormones (gastrin, cholecystokinin, somatostatin, chromogranin) that act locally on the gut to coordinate the secretion of bile and pancreatic enzymes.
35
what are the purpose of stem cells in the GI tract?
found at the neck of the gastric glands and help to replenish cells that line the gastric glands.
36
what is the T. muscularis made of in the stomach?
inner oblique followed by circular and then longitudinal layers of smooth muscle
37
what is the outermost layer of the stomach lining?
mesothelium or T. serosa and contains blood vessels, fat and nerves.
38
what are the three parts of the small intestine?
duodenum, jejunum, ileum
39
what are the folds of the mucous membrane of the small intestine called?
plica circulares
40
what are the projections into the lumen called?
villi
41
what epithelium is the surface of the villi covered by?
simple columnar
42
what are the columnar cells of the small intestine called?
enterocytes
43
what do enterocytes have on their apical surface to facilitate absorption?
microvilli
44
what are the glands of the small intestine called?
crypts of lieberkuhn
45
what are the crypts of lieberkuhn called?
enterocytes and goblet cells that secrete mucus
46
what is the lymphatic vessel in the core of the villi made of loose c.t.?
lacteal
47
what is the purpose of lacteal?
Fat in the gut is absorbed into the lacteals and traverses through the lymphatic system.
48
which part of the small intestine has submucosal glands?
duodenum
49
what part of the small intestine has peyer's patches?
ileum
50
what part of the small intestine is the longest section of the small intestine and has occasional lymphatic nodules?
jejunum
51
what does the portal vein break down into in the liver?
sinusoidal capillaries
52
describe the hepatic portal system
the portal vein starts off as capillaries in the villi and breaks up into capillaries in the liver
53
what are the small ganglia between the T. muscularis layers?
myenteric plexuses
54
what is peristalsis
muscles help to propel the digesta forward in progressive motion
55
what is the tunica serosa that has fat, bvs, and nerves covered by?
mesothelium
56
what is the large intestines made of?
small colon, large colon and rectum
57
true or false: the large intestine has the Crypts of Lieberkuhn but the villi are absent
true
58
where is the T. adventitia?
anus
59
the caudal part of the rectum and anus are lined by what epithelium?
stratified squamous
60
what species don't have a gallbladder?
rodents and horses
61
what is the liver important for?
metabolizing nutrients and drugs
62
what are the polyhedral cells of the liver called?
hepatocytes
63
where do the cords of hepatocytes arise from?
central vein
64
what do the sinusoidal capillaries between the cords of the liver line?
hepatic sinuses
65
the radiating cords from one central vein form in the liver?
hepatic lobule
66
what forms the portal triad?
portal vein, bile duct, and hepatic artery
67
in what species is the hepatic lobule is nicely delineated by a thin layer of connective tissue?
pigs
68
where does nutrient blood flow to the liver come from?
hepatic artery
69
where does the functional flow come through and exist through?
portal vein hepatic vein
70
what epithelium is the gallbladder lined by?
simple columnar
71
what does bile contain?
bile acids, salts and pigment and it is important for emulsifying ingested fats, and coloring the feces.
72
where is the pancreas attached to?
duodenum
73
what is the exocrine part of the pancreas responsible for?
secretion of amylases, peptidases and lipases for digestion
74
what is the small cell in the lumen of the pancreatic acini?
centroacinar cell
75
how do the cytoplasm of the pancreatic cells appear in the basal compartment?
basophilic
76
why does the cytoplasm of the pancreatic cells appear eosinophilic in the apical compartment?
zymogen granules
77
The pancreas secretes the enzymes in response to gastric signals such as:
cholecystokinin, gastrin and somatostatin
