GI Tract I,II
UBSDM 2015 Histology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Organs of the Gastrointestinal Tract | Oral Cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small/large intestine rectum, anal canal, gallbladder, pancreas, liver |
| Oral Cavity – Epithelium | Oral Mucosa is nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium which is always wet. |
| Oral Cavity – Connective Tissue | Thin superficial layer of loose connective tissue(Lamina propria) with papillae that meet epithelial pegs and submucosal collagen bundles. May be over muscle or bone |
| Tongue – Structure | Instrinsic muscles of the tongue consist of superior and inferior longitudinal,vertical and transverse fibers. Covered by nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium |
| Tongue - Connective tissue | Lamina propria, is between the epithelium and intrinsic muscle. The anterior 2/3 dorsal surface of the tongue has many small surface projections called papillae. The dorsal posterior 1/3 surface of the tongue contains the lingual tonsil. |
| Filiform Papillae | Finger-like shape with no taste buds. Partially keratinized. Scrape food off tongue |
| Fungiform Papillae | Mushroom Shaped, Not Keratinized, Taste Buds may be scattered on epithelial surface |
| Circumvallate Papillae | Posterior boundary of ant. 2/3. Flying V arrangement anterior to sulcus terminalis. Large, 6-12 count, submerged to tongue surface. Taste buds surrounded by saliva moat. |
| Glandes of Von Ebner | Salivary glands in Cirvumvallate Papillae. Lie beneath salivary moat to wash food out to keep taste buds reactive to new chemical stimuli |
| Teeth | There are 20 deciduous teeth and 32 permanent teeth with different morphology to serve different functions. If you don’t know this you are in trouble ;) |
| Enamel | most calcified tissue in the human body (95-98%). Enamel matrix is secreted by ameloblasts and calcified by enamel rods bound together by interrod enamel. Enamel is formed over the crown, cannot be replaced - the ameloblasts die at tooth eruption. |
| Dentin | calcified tissue (approximately 70% mineralized) secreted by odontoblasts. It is initially secreted in an unmineralized state called predentin |
| Cementum | covers the dentin of the root of the tooth. It is similar to bone, but it lacks Haversian systems and blood vessels |
| Tooth pulp | loose connective tissue with odontoblasts, fibroblasts, thin collagen fibers and ground substance |
| Periodontal Ligament | Dense connective tissue forming periosteum of alveolar bone that attaches to cementum. Allows some movement during mastication. High rate of protein turnover. |
| Pharynx | Foregut derivative, Three regions=naso/oro/laryngo-pharynx. Lined by stratified keratinized epithelium. Controlled by CN-X the Vagus Nerve. |
| Four Layers of the GI Tract | Mucosa, Submucosa, Muscularis Externa, Serosa. |
| GI Mucosa | Epithelial Muscosal selective membrane from lumen to body. Secretes enzymes, regulate pH. Absorbs products, Secretes protective mucus, Secretes local hormones. |
| GI Lamina Propria | Supports Mucosal layer epithelium. Contains small vessels and lymphatics(lacteals in S.intestine) Lymphoid glands, smooth muscle, and local immune mechanisms. ie; macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells etc. |
| GI Muscularis Mucosae | Layer of smooth muscle between submucosa and lamina propria. Moves the mucosae, creates folds and rugae |
| GI Submucosa | layer of loose connective tissue that contains larger diameter collagen fibers than does the lamina propria, large vessels, Nervous plexi (Meissner’s) which provides neural regulation of digestion. |
| GI Mucus Glands | Found in the submucosa of esophagus and duodenum. Protect the mucosal surface |
| GI Lymphoid Nodules | Found in the mucosa and submucosa anywhere along the GI tract. Aggregates are called Peyer’s Patches. Activate immune response to antigens in the GI tract. |
| GI Muscularis Externa | Smooth Muscle next to submucosa in a circular layer. Outer layer is longitudinal. Responsible for the mass movement of food. |
| Myenteric Plexu (Auerbach’s) | Autonomic neurons located between the two layers of Muscalaris externa. Supported by thin layer of LCT. Initiates/coordinates contractions of smooth muscles to move food. |
| GI Muscularis Externa Exceptions | Upper esophagus has skeletal muscle, Cardiac of stomach has incomplete 3rd layer, pyloric sphincter has thick circular layer, colon has 3 longitudinal bands (taenia coli), 3rd layer in anal canal |
| GI Serosa | Single layer of squamous epithelium & connective tissue with large blood, lymph, nerve supply. Called mesothelium. Fluid provides lubrication for gut movement. |
| Number of organs located in peritoneal cavity | 0, zero, none, zilch, 0/n, zip, nil, cero, нула, אֶ֫פֶס, số không |
| Adventitia | Organs that don’t have serosa (retroperitoneal) have adventitia. Fascia with adipose, blood vessels, nerves that form outer layer of organ and connects it to other stuff. |
| Esophagus – Mucosa | Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. Superior/inferior mucosal glands that secrete high concentration of proteoglycan mucus. |
| Esophagus – Submucos | Submucosal Glands (esophageal) present throughout organ. These glands plus the stratified epithelium are how to identify esophagus. |
| Esophagus – Muscularis Externa | Inner circular layer of muscle and outer longitudinal layer. Skeletal in upper 1/3 of organ. Mixed in middle 1/3. Smooth in lower 1/3. |
| Esophagus Adventitia | Thick tunic of connective tissue binding it to trachea. No peritoneum. |
| Stomach – Mucosa | Irregular folds called rugae. Simple columnar epithelium – secrete protective mucus |
| Stomach – Glands – Cardiac Region | Simple or branched tubular cardiac glands, secrete neutral glycosaminoglycans protective mucus. |
| Stomach – Glands – Fundus | Mucous Neck Cells, Stem Cells, Parietal Cells, Chief Cells, Enteroendocrine cells, |
| Stomach – Glands – Mucous Neck Cells | Only in the neck of the gland, secrete acidic mucus. Shorter and contain fewer secretory droplets than surface cells |
| Stomach – Glands – Stem cells | In the neck of each gland near the base of the pit. Mitotic division to form new epithelial(3-5day lifespan) and gland cells. |
| Stomach – Glands – Parietal Cells | Secrete HCl to reduce pH to 1.5. Located in the upper part of the body of gastric glands. Large, pale, Round/Pyramidal shape. 1or2 nuclei. Acidophilic cytoplasm. Numerous mitochondria. |
