4 ways to increase surface area in SI
plicae circularis
villi
MV
glycocalyx
Stomach General Features
no absorption, except H2O and some salts
produces chyme by mixing and partial digestion
mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, and serosa layers
3 Regions of Stomach
Cardiac: near esophagus, contains cardiac glands
Pyloric: near pyloric sphincter, contains pyloric glands
Fundic: b/t cardiac and Pyloric, contains fundic or gastric glands
Gastric Mucosa
Rugae: longitudinal folds of mucosa and submucosa, does NOT alter surface area
Gastric Pits: opening in mucosal surface, glands open into bottom of pits
Stomach Epithelium
Simple columnar
called "surface mucous cells"
stains intensely with toluidine blue or PAS
mucous secretion forms thick coat that adheres to epithelial surface
Function: absorption of water, salts, and lipids
Gastric Glands
composed of mucous neck cells, chief cells, parietal cells, enteroendocrine cells, and undifferentiated cells
Isthmus- site of cell replication
Secrete: HCL, Pepsin, Mucus, and Intrinsic Factor
Gastric Gland Isthmus
site of cell replication in gastric glands
migrate upwards to become surface mucus cells
migrate downwards to become chief, parietal, mucus neck and enteroendocrine cells
Stomach Pepsin
produced by chief cells
converted from pepsinogen by HCL
Stomach Mucus
secreted from several cells
traps bicarbonate--> maintains neutral pH and contributes to physical barrier
Stomach Intrinsic Factor
Vitamin B-12 glycoprotein, essential for absorption of B-12
Stomach Mucus Neck Cells
neck region of gastric gland, has parietal cells dispersed around
secrete soluble mucus upon stimulation by the VAGUS
does NOT secrete while resting
Stomach Chief Cells
basophilic, found in basal 1/3 of mucosa
secrete Pepsinogen and Weak Lipase
contain secretory granules called zymogen
Stomach Parietal
secrete HCL and Intrinsic Factor
found in neck of gastric glands
large, traingular shape and acidophilic
Activation of HCL Secretion
Gastrin: stimulates gastric acid secretion, release of gastrin inhibited by H+ in stomach (negative feedback)
Histamine H2
Acetylcholine M3
Steps of HCL Production
H2O (H + OH), CO2 enter cell
CO2 + 2OH --> H2CO3
H2CO3 --> H + HCO3
H+ ions transported by H+/K+ ATPase into lumen
K+ and Cl- transported into lumen by uniporters
Formation of HCL by H+ and Cl- in lumen
Stomach Enteroendocrine Cells
Basal Secretion
Sample contents of gland lumen and release hormones based on findings
clear cytoplasm, near chief and parietal
stained Salts, Silver, and Chromium
Cardiac Glands of Stomach
found in cardiac stomach
secrete Mucus (protects against gastric reflux)
have short ducts w/ elongated nuclei b/t secretory portion of gland and shallow pits which glands secrete (site of cell renewal)
Pyloric Glands of Stomach
found in Pyloric Antrum (b/t fundus and pylorus)
branched, coiled glands w/ wide lumen
secretory cells similar to surface mucus cells, produce viscous secretion
parietal and enteroendocrine cells
pits 1/2 of mucosa thickness
Muscularis Mucosae of Stomach
2 thin layers (inner circular and outer longitudinal)
3rd circular layer present sometimes
Submucosa of Stomach
Dense irregular CT and adipose
blood vessels
Meissner's Plexus-innervates vessels and SM in mucosa
Muscularis Externa of Stomach
3 layers: inner oblique
Middle Circular
Outer Longitudinal
Function: mixing of chyme and movement into SI
Myenteric (Auerbach's) plexus- b/t muscle layers, innervate SM
Serosa of Stomach
Mesothelium and underlying CT
continuous w/ Parietal Peritoneum of abdominal cavity
SI General Features
Longest component of GI
3 regions:
Duodenum: first, shortest and widest part
Jejunum: 2nd, constitutes upper 2/5
Ileum: continuation jejunum, lower 3/5
SI Function
principle site for digestion and absorption
delivery site for Pancreatic Enzymes and Bile
Enterocytes- intestinal absorptive cells
site of water and electrolyte reabsorption
SI Enterocytes
apically located, contain MV
enzymes localized to glycocalyx-complete breakdown of sugars and proteins to monosaccharides and amino acids
Plicae Circulares of SI
circular folds that increase absorptive surface
core of Submucosa
Villi of SI
finger/leaflike projections of mucosa
completely cover surface of SI
increase Surface Area of SI
Lacteal: blind ending lympathic capillary found only in SI
MV of SI
surface of enterocytes
increase SA
Mucosa of SI
5 cell types: enterocytes-absorption
Goblet cells: mucus secretion
Paneth cells: antimicrobial secretion
Enteroendocrine cells: paracrine/endocrine hormones
M (microfold) cells: cover lymphatic nodules
Glands of SI
"crypts of Lieberkuhn"
stem cells located at base of gland
-upward migration gives Enterocytes and Goblet cells
-Enteroendocrine cells divide and migrate w/ goblet cells but slower
-Paneth cells dont migrate, DONT DIVIDE, remain near base
Enterocytes of SI
columnar, basally located nucleus
Supranuclear golgi
Tight jxns b/t: active transport to move water, electrolytes ect.
lateral Plications separate during active absorptions, enlarging intercellular space
Secrete glycoprotein enzymes
absorption of fluid by villus enterocyte balanced by secretion of fluid by gland enterocytre
Goblet Cells of SI
produce Mucus
increase in number as travel along GI
EM&LM: mucinogen granules in apical region, pushes sides outwards
-cup shaped golgi at base of granules
Paneth Cells of SI
found at base of intestinal glands
LM&EM: eosinophilic, refractile apical Secretory Granules
Granules (secretions): Lysozyme-antibacterial, digests cell walls
-a-defensins
-Glycoproteins
role in regulating normal bacterial flora (defense cells)
