A

One layer

4

What does epithelium always sit on?

A

Conective tissue

5
Q

How do you tell if a gland is submucosal?

A

Will lie below the muscularis mucosae

6
Q

Where are peyers patches found?

A

In the mucosa - they are often stained a purple colour

7
Q

What is the epithelium in the oesophagus?

A

•Stratified squamous non-keratinised epithelium

8
Q

What are theglands in the oesophagus that stain very poorly?

A

Mucus glands

These are located in the submucosa

9

A

•Muscular layer – upper 1/3 skeletal, middle 1/3 – smooth+ skeletal, lower 1/3 - smooth

10
Q

What is the epithelium in the stomach?

A

Simple columnar epithelium

11

A

Oblique muscle layer

12
Q

What colour do parietal cells stain?

A

Pink

13
Q

What is the structure of the crypts of Lieberkuhn?

A

Lined with epithelium containing many types of cells:

Enterocytes (absorb water and electrolytes)

Goblet cells (secrete mucus)

Enteroendocrine cells (secrete hormones)

Stem cells

Paneth cells (secrete antimicrobial peptides)

Cup cells

Tuft cells

14
Q

Where are Brunner’s glands located?

A

Submucosa of the duodenum

15
Q

Where are peyers patches most prevalent?

A

In the Ileum

16
Q

What is the abundance of villi and crypts in the large intestine?

A

No villi and lots of crypts

17

A

Roundish structure with columnar cells and nuclei at the base

Ducts

18

Duodenum

Villi with a leaflike shape (wide)

Mucus secreting brunner’s glands int he submucosa

Crypts of lieberkuhn

22
Q

What is the tissue type?

What are the characteristic features?

A

Villi have finger like shape (Longer)

Well developed plicae circulares

Crypts of Lieberkuhn

No glands in the submucosa

23
Q

What is this tissue?

What are the characteristic features?

A

Villi are shorter when compared with the jejunum

Peyers patches extend through the lamina propria and the submucosa

Shorter villi
