what are the 4 layers of the espohagus?
-musoca
-submucosa
-muscularis externa
-adventita
muscosa
-stratified non keratinized squamous epithelium to provide wear n’ tear epithelium
-lamina propria
-muscularis mucosae (smooth muscle)
submucosa
-contains mucous glands to help lubricate the surface of the tube
muscularis externa of esophagus
-contains 2 layers in espohagus
-inner cicular muscle
-outer longitudinal muscle
espohagus muscle layers of muscularis externa
-upper 1/3 is skeletal
-middle 1/3 is mixed
-lower 1/3 is smooth muscle
why different muscle differences in the espohagus?
You need skeletal m. in the upper 1/3 for the initiation of swallowing. Once it gets into the tube, peristaltic contractions (non-voluntary) take it through the rest of the tubular GIT
lower esophageal sphincter
-aka cardiac sphincter or gastroesophageal sphincter
-prevents refluc of gastric contents into espohagus
Barrett's esophagus
-condition that develops with peeps who have chronic gstroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or esophagitis
-normal squamous cells turn into columnar cells lining the esophagus
stomach
- exocrine and endocrine organ that functions to digest carbos, lipids, and proteins
-secretes hormones
-small amount of absorption
lined by simple columnar epithelial cells
-has 3 muscle layers in muscularis externa
what are the 4 regions of the stomach?
-cardia
-fundus
-body
-pyloric antrum
cardia region
-at entrance of esophagus into stomach
-lamina propria contains branched tubular cardiac glands that produce mucous and lysozme
fundus and body region
-contain fundic glands with shallow pits and long glands of parietal, chief cells, and enteroendocrine cells
pylorus region
-contains pyloric glands of pale staining mucous secreting cells with basal nuceli
-have deep pits and short glands that produce mucous and lysozme
gastric glands
-arise from foveolae holes on the surface lining of stomach that attach to gastric pits
-isthmus
-neck
-base
what are the 3 gastric gland cell types?
-Mucous neck cells,
-parietal cells chief cells
-enteroendocrine cells.
where do gastric glands open to?
-base of gastric pits where surface epithelium cells extend into
surface mucous cells
-simple columnar epithelium
-secrete neutral mucous to protect stomach wall from acidic jucies
mucous neck cells
-found in neck of gastric gland
-secrete acidic mucous
parietal (oxyntic cells)
-secrete HCL and instrinsic factor needed for vitamin B12 absorption
-have intracellular canalicular system
-microvilli
Vitamin B12
-needed for DNA synthesis
- lack can result in pernicious anemia caused by autoimmune gastritis in ileum
chief cells (zymogenic)
-basophilic protein
-secrete pepsinogen, lipase and rennin (chymosin)
-filled with zymogen granules
-activated by vagus nerve and secretin
pepsin
-came from pepsinogen in acid of lumen
enteroendocrine cells
-secrete hormones that regulate function of the gut
-largest endocrine organ in body
-open type cells, located at BM near blood vessels of lamina propira
-and closed cell type
what are types of enteroendocrine cells?
-gastrin producing cells (g-cells)
-somatostain-producing cells (D cells)
gastrin producing cells (g-cells)
-stimulate production of acid and pepsinogen
somatostain producing cells (D cells)
-inhibit G cells and acid production
how do active vs. inactive parietal cells differ?
Active parietal cells exhibit an invagination of the apical surface membrane to form intracellular canaliculi. These serve to increase the cells apical surface area for secretion of large volumes of HCl.
which of the gastric gland cell type is not found in either cardiac or pyloric gland?
- no chief cells
-very few parital cells
What 3 structures in the small intestine help to increase surface area for absorption?
-Submucosal folds (plicae circularis);
-villi;
-microvilli
what is function of small intestine?
-absorption of nutrient and terminal food digestion and endocrine secretion
plicae circularis (valves of Kerckring)
-permanent folds of the small intestine lining consistin of mucoas and submucosa
-best developed in jejunum
intestinal villi
-outgrowths of musoca of small intestine
-has lympthatic lacteal
intestinal glands (crypts of Lieberkuhn)
-located b/w intestianl villi which secrete muscus
what are the 6 cell types in the small intestine?
Enterocyte;
Paneth cell,
enteroendocrine cell,
goblet cell,
undifferentiated cells,
M cells
enterocytes
-absorb nutrients, process lipids, transport to blood stream
-found on apical surface with globet cells
-facilated diffusion = amino acids and monosaccarides
passive diffusion = lipids
pinoctyosis = large molecules
globet cells
-secrete acidic mucous to protect from bacteria and lubrication
paneth cells
-produce protein polysaccharide complex located at base of crypt
-acidophilic granules w/ zymogenic granules lysozyme
enteroendorcines cells of small intestine
-secrete cholecystekinin (CCK) and secretin
cholecytekinin (CCK)
-stimulates secretion of pancreatic eneyzmes and gallbladder contraction and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP)
gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP)
- decreases gastric acid production and motilin (increases guts motility)
secretin
-stimulates bicarbonate releaase from pancreas to help break down fat
undiffertiated cells
-located in base of intestinal crypt that regenerate absorptive, goblet, and panteh cells (3-5 day turnover)
M (microfold cells)
-overlie lympoid nodules adn Peyer's patches
-initiate immune response by endocytose antigens to lymph nodes
which intestinal cells are not found with the epithelial lining of the colon?
-paneth cells
which region of the GI tract exhibits submuscol glands?
duodenum and espahogous
what is the function of duodenal Brunner's gland in duodenum?
-located in submucosa
They secrete large volumes of bicarbonate secretions to neutral the acidic nature of the materials entering the duodenum.
Peyer's patches
-lymphoid noduels clusters located only in lamina propira of ileum and push down to submuscoa obliterating the muscular muscoa layer
-gives ileum high permability and leakiness
what is the general trend, proximal to distal in the small intestine?
-globlet cells get more numerous

what is the sigificance of the trend in the small intestine with certain cells?
Goblet cells: you need more lubrication as the chyme begins to get thicker/loose moisture; lymphoid: the intestinal epithelium gets more permeable; villous height: they become shorter and stouter to withstand shearing forces.
