GIT Flashcards
😁 (28 cards)
mucosa
stratified squamous or simple columnar
hard palate
ketatinized mucous epithelium
soft palate
non keratinized mucous epithelium
toungue
striated muscle covered by non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium and lamina propria.
taste buds have 3 cell types
gustatory(taste cells),sustentacular(support)cells and basal cells(stem cells)
papillae
stratified squamous epithelium
esophagus
lined by stratified squamous epithelium non keratinized
specialization of esophagus tissues
esophageal glands proper-tubuloacinar mucus secreting glands esophageal cardiac glands-small branched mucussecreting glands
gastroesophageal junction
transition from stratified squamous to glandular secretory mucosa.
simple columnar epithelium of stomach facing the lumen is modified so that
all cells secret mucus ,forming a sheet gland that protects the stomach from its acidic environment.
gastric glands have
isthmus,neck and base
stomach cells
mucous cells-secrete mucous to protect epithelial cells from enzymes&acid. parietal cells-secrete HCL for protein digestion and intrinsic factor for B12 absorption. chief cells-secrete pepsinogen. G-cells-secret gastrin
muscularis externa
made of 3 muscular layers;internal oblique layer,middle circular layer and outer longitudinal layer that is separated from circular layer by Auerbach’s plexus
mucosal epithelium of S.I composed of
1.absorptive cells-form simple columnar epithelium . 2.goblet cells intestinal glands have;paneth cells-contents digest bacterial cell walls and enteroendocrine cells
variations specific to intestinal subdivisions
1.brunner’s glands-present in duodenum.;secret an alkaline mucus to neutralize acidity of stomach contents. 2.peyer’s patches-clusters of lymphoid nodules located in the ileum.
colon
absorptive cells goblet cells increase in number toward the rectum and provide lubrication. reduced number of enteroendocrine cells. intestinal glands are straight and there are no villi or plicar circulares.
pancrease
exocrine and endocrine
exocrine pancrease
compound acinar gland.aciner cells secret enzymes that breakdown proteins,carbs,lipids
ducts
intercalated ducts-lined with simple cuboidal epithelium centroacinar cells -secret bicarbonates to neutralize acidity of stomach. interlobular ducts-lead into one or more excretory ducts that empty into duodenum.
endocrine
islets of langerhans;alpha cells-glucagon,beta cells -insulin,D cells-somatostatin
Liver
organized into lobules that take the shape of polygonal prisms. Each lobule is hexagonal and is centered on central vein Within each lobule hapatocytes are arranged into hepatic cords separated by sinusoids.
liver lobules also called
liver acini
liver lobule vs liver acinus
lobule-encompasses liver tissue that is served by a branch of hepatic vein (central vein(. acinus-encompasses liver tissue that is served by terminal branch of the hepatic artery.
hepatic cord
consinst of hepatocytes
