4 layers of the GI system

lumen outward
1.) mucosa (epithelial lining, lamina propria, muscularis muscosa)

2.) submucosa

3.) muscularis externa

4.) adventitia or serosa
Features of the lip
-NKSSE
-seromucous glands

lacks:
-hair follicles
-sebaceous glands
-sweat glands

Also seen:
-skeletal muscle of the obicularis oris
3 types of papillae of the tongue and their features
filiform
-conical shape with keratinized tip

fungiform
-rounded and mushroom-shaped with taste buds

circumvallate
-large and spherical, also has taste buds
What are glands of von Ebner
glands surrounding the circumvallate

secrete their serous products into the marginal left surround the circumvallate papillae
Describe the musclaris mucosa and externa of the esophagus as it travels down to the stomach
MM will always be two layers of SM

ME will change from 2 layers of skeletal (first 1/3) to 1 layer of each (second 1/3) to 2 layers of SM (last 1/3 of esophagus)
What plexus are you expected to find in the submucosa?
Meissner's
What plexus are you expected to find in the muscularis externa?
Auerbach's
What is adventitia?
loose CT
What are the changes of epithelium as you move from esophagus to stomach
NKSSE to simple columnar with gastric pits
How many layers of muscularis externa are there?
3

inner most oblique
inner circumferential
outer longitudinal
Where is Auerbach's plexus located in the stomach?
always between IC and OL
Location of gastric glands vs. pits
glands - lamina propria of mucosa

pits - near the surface
Compare the features of:

surface mucous cells
parietal cells
chief cells
surface mucous cells - form the gastric pit, just round and hollow

parietal - eosinophilic, round with centrally-located nucleus, like fried egg, produces HCL and intrinsic factor

chief - basophilic with secretory granules, produces pepsinogen and lipase
pyloric region of stomach vs. fundic region?
in pyloric:
-lack of parietal and chief cell, and an abundance of mucous secreting
pyloric vs. duodenum?
pylorus - 3 layers of SM
duodenum - 2 layers of SM

brunner's gland in duodenum (submucosa), secretes alkaline secretion into lumen
What are the intestinal glands in the duodenum called?
crypts of liekerkuhn, where brunner's glands empty into
What are paneth cells and where are they found?
They're located at the bottom of the crypt, wicked eosinophilic

common in duodenum and less in ileum, none in colon
What are enteroendocrine cells?

how do you distinguish them from paneth?
any cells located in the gut that secrets hormone

but less clustered and numorous then paneth, more toward apex of cell the paneth
How to distinguish small and large intestines?
Large
-no villi nor plicae circulares
-more goblet
-NO paneth
-abundance of lymphocytes in the lamina propria in nodules
Epithelium at the anus-rectoanal junction
Simple columnar to NKSSE
Other features at the anus-rectoanal junction
-no muscularis mucosa in the anus
-more externa at anus
-hair follicles, sebaceous glands and apocrine sweat glands
Secretions (serous vs. mucous) in the following glands:

submandibular
parotid
sublingual
subman - serous mucous (serous demilune)

parotid - serous

sublingual - mucous
What is a renal lobe demarcated by?
interlobar vessels
Where are renal corpuscles (glomerulus and bowman's capsule) found?

cortex or medulla?
cortex
What is the name of the name of the ducts between contents are emptied into the minor calyce
ducts of Bellini (collecting duct)
Two major features bordering the calyx

epithelium and muscle
urothelium and smooth muscle
What does the arcuate vessels demarcate?
cortex and medulla

above and below respectivelly
What does the medullary rays contained?
Straight segments of cortical nephrons

collecting tubules, straight descending and straight ascending
How to distinguish between PCT and DCT
PCT - more numerous, tall cuboid, ESOINOPHILIC

DCT - lower cuboidal, lesser eosinophilic, no brush border, more visible lumen
How to distinguish between DtLH and AtLH
DtLH - similar to PCT

AtLH - similar to DCT
Where do you expect to find macula densa?

What is the purpose of the cells?
DCT

help monitor the osmolarity of the tubular fluid
How to distinguish collecting tubules and duct (of Bellini)
Bellini has taller columnar, near the calyx
What is the name of the layer that surrounds the testis?
tunica albuginea
Describe the interstitial cells of Leydig
located within the intertubular connective tissue

large and eosinophilic with euchromatic nuclei

produce testosterone
Epithelium surround seminiferious tubule
seminiferous epithelium
Different cells at different stages of spermatogensis and in the order basal into the apical portion
Spermatogonia
Primary spermatocytes
Spermatids
Spermatozoa

then Sertoli cells are just everywhere
Describe:

Sertoli cells
Spermatogonia
Primary spermatocytes
Spermatids
Spermatozoa
Sertoli cells - "fried egg", could be anywhere along the spermatogensis, basal portion of each cell adheres to BL where as the apical portion reaches the lumn, forms the blood-testis barrier with occluding junctions

Spermatogonia - all found at base of seminiferous epithelium, with stained chromatic

Primary spermatocytes - large nucleus with prominent, clumped strands of chromatin

Spermatids - dark circles

Spermatozoa - elongated condensed chromatin
Epithelium of rete testis? and what kind of tissue is rete testis?
simple cuboidal, CT (of labyrinth)
Where does the sperm travels after rete testis?
efferent ductules
What is the epithelium of efferent ductules?
either
-non-ciliated cuboidal
-ciliated columnar
-pseudostratified columnar
Describe the characteristics of efferent ductules?
cilia on the apical membrane, and thin layer of SM to help move the spermatozoa toward the epididymis

scalloped shape
Compare efferent ductules to epididymis
lined by pseudostratified columnar with STEREOCILIA (longer than cilia)

Also has thin layers of SM to help facilitate the movement of spermatozoa toward the vas

Looks more "circular" than efferent ductules
Describe the vas
Lined with 3 discrete layers of SM
-inner longitudinal
-middle circular
-outer longitudinal

same epithelium as the epididymis, except the cilia not as tall

similar looking to esophagus

Vas, testicular a., pampiniform plexus of veins, lymphatic vessels, nerve fascicles
What are seminal vesciles?
empties their secretory products into the vas (seminal fluids)

lots of SM around, crazy folded mucosa inside
How to distinguish seminal vesicle from ejaculatory ducts?
there's more seminal vesicle than ejaculatory ducts, both contain highly folded mucosa

ejaculatory ducts are also intimately associated with the prostate, with a continuous lumen with the prostatic urethra
How to distinguish seminal vesicle from prostate gland
prostate gland not as crazy folded mucosa, associated with ejaculatory ducts
