KNOW FOR TEST

can differentiate into whatever cells the stomach needs

What cells produce ALKALINE MUCUS that protects the epithelium against stomach acid?
Simple Columnar Cell Type

aka FOVEOLAR CELLS
Type of cell that are typical protein producing for export. They have RER in basal location and APICAL ZYMOGEN GRANULES.

Produce PEPSINOGEN and GASTRIC LIPASE
Chief Cells

aka

Zymogenic Cells
What is the difference between CLOSED enteroendocrine cells and OPEN enteroendocrine cells?
Close - sits on basement membrane and covered by epithelial cells

Open - extend from basement membrane to the lumen where they can sample luminal contents & release hormones based on that sampling.
What is the major endocrine cell of the gastric body/fundus is the ?

What is its purpose?
ENTEROCHROMAFFIN-LIKE (ECL) Cell


-produces HISTAMINE
-stimulates HCL production by PARIETAL CELLS
What stimulates ENTEROCHROMAFFIN-LIKE cells?
Gastrin

--produced by G cells of the GASTRIC ANTRUM
True or False

The stomach has submucosal glands.
FALSE

the stomach has NO SUBMUCOSAL GLANDS
Glands of the Pyloric produce ? and ?

G Cells are also present and cause ?
Mucus

Lysozyme


Stimulation of parietal cell HCL production

Stimulation of ECL to release HISTAMINE
True or False

The stomach has submucosal glands.
FALSE

stomach DOES NOT have submucosal glands
The stomach has ? layers rather than the usual 2 layers of class GPAT (general plan of the alimentary tube)

Describe this extra layer.
3 layers

extra -- INNER OBLIQUE LAYER
At the pylorus the ? layer thickens to form the pyloric sphincter.

Is there a serosa present?
Middle Circular Layer


yes there is SEROSA present
Where does non-keratinized stratified squamous abruptyly change into simple columnar (FOVEOLAR( epithelium?
At the esophageal / fundic gastric junction

(cardiac)
? junction is where the parietal cells becomes sparse and classic antral type mucosal glands are seen.
Body / Antrum junction
Describe the Pyloric Junction

stomach side?

duodenum side?
Stomach
--> pyloric glands ABOVE the muscularis mucosae

Duodenum
--> Brunner's glands are in the Submucosa and break up the muscularis mucosae

--> has villi and goblet cells
The mucosa and submucosa form permanent folds termed ? in the small intestines.
Plicae Circulares (valves of Kerckring)
Where are Intestinal glands (crypts of Lieberkuhn) found between?
found between the VILLI of the small intestines

epithelium is continuous from the villi into the gland
? is present in the microvilli of enterocytes and interacts with myosin in the terminal web to cause motility.
Actin
Digestion of oligo and disaccharides occurs at the ?
microvilli of enterocytes
Where would you find a Na+ / K+ ATPase pump at on an enterocyte?

What does this rseult in?
Lateral and Basal plasma membrane


results in Na+ and Water movement from lumen into fenestrated capillaries
? is co-transported with Na+ at the microvilli.
Glucose
What forms the Enteric Coat of an enterocyte?
thick GLYCOCALYX
In regards to Enterocytes

--where are proteins broken down to amino acids?
Enteric Coat

--has peptidases
In the small intestines--

Triglycerides are broken down to form MICELLES and absorbed through the microvilli--

Where are the triglycerides reformed in the Enterocyte?
Apical SMOOTH ER
After the Enterocyte has reformed and packaged the Triglycerides in the smooth ER--

what is the resulting product called?
Chylomicrons
What absorbs Chylomicrons after they have been excytosed from Enterocytes?
Lacteals

(blind-ended lymphatic vessels)
True or False

Stomach has Goblet Cells.
FALSE

there are NO goblet cells
True or False

Stomach has Paneth Cells.
FALSE

NO PANETH CELLS

--only found in SMALL INTESTINES
specialized enterocytes found immediately over intramucosal lymphoid aggregates.

transport ANTIGENS from gut lumen to underlying lymphoid tissues.
M Cells
Clusters of these cells are found at the bottoms of the INTESTINAL GLANDS.

identified by red-orange granules
