what are the 3 gastric gland cell types?

|
where do gastric glands open to?
|
-base of gastric pits where surface epithelium cells extend into
|
|

|
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

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)
|

|
|

|
|
M (microfold cells)

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
-lympoid tissue remains the same -villicus height gets shorter |
|
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.
|
|
colon
|
-converts undigested material from small intestine to feces by removing water and adding mucous
-no villi or plicae circularis (b/c of tougness of feces) -has taenia coli |
|
what region of the colon does not contain taeniae coli?
|
-rectum
-appendix |
|
What is the trend of globet cell concentration in the large intestine?
|
Goblet cells increase in number from proximal to distal along the length of the colon. To lubricate the mucosal surface for the passage of fecal material.
|
|
what epithelial transtion is observed at the petinate line?
|
simple columnar epithelium to stratified squamous non keratinizing epithelium
|
