What is the difference between cell renewal in the Stomach vs. Cell renewal in the Intestine
|
Stomach = Bidirectional
Intestine = Unidirectional |
|
Name the 2 distinguishing that tell you whether you are looking at Duodenum of stomach or Illeum. And where these features are found.
|
Duodenum: Brunners glands, secrete mucous, found in the submucosa under the Muscularis Mucosae
Illeum: Peyers Patches, Mount immune response for GALT, found in the LAMINA PROPRIA,(makes sense since its vascularized) |
|
Histological closeup of the brunners glands
You know its the Brunners gland and not any other muscosal gland due: - Presence of overlying Muscular Mucosae - Crypts of lieberkuhn located on top of Muscular Mucosae Be able to spot, the crypts, and also the enteroendocrine and the paneth cells within them |
|
|
Histological section of the Peyers patches
- Note that the muscularis mucosae is now UNDERNEATH the distinguishing feature - These patches are PERMANENT, you can have lymph tissue appear in other areas transiently |
|
|
list 2 Histological differences between Small and Large intestine.
List 1 physiological functional diff between the two |
2 Histological differences
1. NO MORE VILLI 2. ABUNDANT GOBLET CELLS - Still have crypts of lieberkuhn 1 functional diff - Crypts now reabsorb water and NaCl mostly, no lysozyme or hormonal fxn |
|
Histological picture of Large intestine/Colon
Notice the lack of villi, the PLETHORA of GOblet cells, the crypts in the mucosae |

What is the difference between direction bile flow and blood flow from the Hepatic portal system
|
1. Bile drains away to the gallbladder/SI
2. Blood drains towards the central vein and the rest of the liver |
|
Describe the flow of bile starting from left and right hepatic lobule
|
L/R hepatic lobule --> Common hepatic duct --> Cystic Duct/Gallbladder --> Common bile duct --> Duodenum
|
|
What are the three lobule classifications?
What are they based on? Wha shape are they |
Classic lobule --> Based on blood drainage --> Hexagon (connects all triads)
Portal lobule --> Based on bile drainage --> Triangle (connects 3 central veins to the portal triad, through which bile drains away) *Portal lobule because bile goes towards the portal* Liver acinus --> Based on blood supply --> Diamond (connects two portal triads to two central veins, t) |
|
List the location of the three zones in the liver lobule and why they differ?
|
In order of DESCENDING OXYGEN SUPPLY Zone 1 = closest to Portal triadZone 2 = in between portal triad and centra vein Zone 3 = Near the central vein The portal triad is recieving fresh blood from hepatic artery and as the blood travels to the central vein, the nutrients are absorbed such that the zone 3 (near central vein) has little O2 left. |
|
The following contains the 3 organizations of the hepatic lobules. Be able to distinguish each of them
|
Red = Portal lobule
Blue = Hepatic (classic) lobule Green = Liver acinus |
|
Name 3 important features of the smooth ER in the liver
|
1. Storage and synthesis of glyogen (Hepatocytes stain red with PAS)
2. Recirculation of bile (only 10% synthesized de novo) 3. Detoxificatoin and excretion of bile (conjugation to glucoronic acid) aided by Kupffer cells |
|
What are the two cells of exocrine pancreas and what are their secretions
|
1. Acinar cells = Digestive enzymes
2. Duct cells = Bicarbonate for pH regulation |
|
histological section of gallbladder.
Tough to tell apart from GI, proly wnt be tested but look at it nyway |
|
|
How does the gallbladde concentrate bile
|
It actively Na+ into the lumen and water follows by osmosis such that bile enters the blood flow a isosmotic solution
|
|
What is located in the image to the side?
|
Small intestine attached to the pancreas.
Small intestine you can tell because of various villi (prolly jejnum) and the pancreas is anatomically attached. You can confirm its pancreas due to abundance of serous cells (basophilic) and a "fishbone" duct system |
|
Which salivary gland does the Pancreas most resemble and why?
|
Pancreas most closely resembles the Parotid gland because the Parotid gland is exclusively serous. The Pancreas is not exclusively serous but have very few endocrine islets that it looks identical.
Review of salivary submandibular = mixed with serous demilunes Sublingual = Dominant mucous |
|
Histological slide of the Pancreas note, the abundance of serous cells with a few islets.
