Study Notes
Histology of the Digestive System
- The digestive system is composed of the gastrointestinal tract/alimentary canal and accessory digestive organs.
- The basic processes of the digestive system include ingestion, secretion, mixing and propulsion, motility, digestion, absorption, and defecation.
- The oral cavity is composed of lips, three regions, and mucosa, which is lined by stratified squamous nonkeratinized epithelium.
- Humans have two sets of teeth: 20 deciduous teeth replaced by 32 permanent teeth composed of 20 succedaneous teeth and 12 molars.
- The tongue is a mass of striated muscle covered by a mucous membrane with intrinsic and extrinsic muscles and four types of lingual papillae.
- The alimentary canal includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum), large intestine (cecum, colon, rectum, anal canal, and appendix).
- The alimentary canal is composed of four layers: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, and serosa (or adventitia).
- The esophagus is a muscular tube covered by an adventitia until it pierces the diaphragm, after which it is covered by a serosa.
- The stomach is composed of four regions: gastric cardia, fundus, body (corpus), and pylorus (pyloric antrum).
- The epithelial lining of the stomach invaginates into the mucosa, forming gastric pits (foveolae), which are shallowest in the cardiac region and deepest in the pyloric region.
- The gastric histology is composed of mucosa, submucosa, muscularis mucosa, muscularis externa, and serosa. The fundic mucosa is composed of mucus cells, parietal cells, chief cells, and DNES cells.
- The mucosa of the cardiac region differs from the pyloric region in terms of the depth of the gastric pits and the predominant cell type in the glands.
