7
Q

The stomach has a very thick muscularis externa because it has a third layer of smooth muscle called

A

Inner oblique layer

8
Q

Important cells of the gastric glands

A

Parietal & Chief cells

9
Q

Parietal Cells of the stomach

A

Have a clear, bright pink cytoplasm with a circular purple nucleus
Secrete hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor

10
Q

Chief Cells of the stomach

A

Very small, irregularly shaped purple cells that seem to cluster around parietal cells near the base of the gastric gland
Secrete pepsin

11
Q

Plicae Circulares of small intestine

A

Increase surface area by outfolds in the submucosa

12
Q

Colon/Large intestine continues to absorb moisture and lubricates the food stuff, preparing it for excretion by these two cells

A

Absorptive cells

Goblet cells

13
Q

Acini in the pancreas secrete

A

Trypsinogen, amylase, lipase, and nucleases

14

A

Cell clusters in the pancreas that secrete insulin and glucagon
