    • CLO 2: Integrate cytopathology diagnostic laboratory techniques, including sample collection, staining, and screening methods.
    • CLO 3: Prepare cytopathology reports using specified formats.

    Lesson Learning Outcome

    • Describe the anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract.
    • Explain the physiology of the gastrointestinal system.

    Lesson Outline

    • Overview of the gastrointestinal system.
    • Anatomy of the esophagus including swallowing (deglutition).
    • Anatomy of the stomach and its digestive activities.
    • Anatomy of the small intestine, chemical digestion and absorption there.
    • Anatomy of the large intestine, chemical digestion, and absorption there.
    • Phases of digestion.

    Overview of the Gastrointestinal System

    • Function: Digestion, ingestion, absorption, and defecation.
    • Ingestion: Intake of food or liquid.
    • Digestion: Breakdown of food into simpler compounds.
    • Mechanical digestion: physical breakdown of food (e.g., chewing, churning).
    • Chemical digestion: chemical breakdown of food using enzymes (e.g., hydrolysis).
    • Absorption: Ingested food passing into the blood or lymph.
    • Defecation: Elimination of waste.

    Organs of the Gastrointestinal System

    • Gastrointestinal or Alimentary Canal: Mouth, pharynx (most part), esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.
    • Accessory Digestive Organs: Teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

    Layers of the Gastrointestinal Tract

    • Mucosa: Epithelium (protection, secretion, absorption), lamina propria (connective tissue), muscularis mucosae (thin smooth muscle).
    • Submucosa: Loose connective tissue, blood and lymphatic vessels, submucosal nerve plexus (Meissner's plexus).
    • Muscularis: Skeletal muscle (in some parts), smooth muscle layers (mainly). Myenteric nerve plexus (Auerbach's plexus).
    • Serosa: Loose connective tissue and mesothelial cells (outermost layer).

    Esophagus

    • Primarily transports swallowed material.
    • Has two sphincters (upper and lower esophageal sphincters).
    • The upper regulates movement to the esophagus.
    • The lower regulates movement into the stomach.
    • The mucosa is non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.

    Deglutition (Swallowing)

    • Act of swallowing.
    • Facilitated by saliva and mucus secretions.
    • Involves the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus.
    • Has 3 stages: voluntary, pharyngeal, and esophageal.

    Stomach

    • Mixing chamber and reservoir for ingested food.
    • Continues carbohydrate digestion.
    • Adds acid to ingested food and mixes it into chyme.
    • Begins protein digestion using pepsin.
    • Triglycerides digestion by lipase.

    Small Intestine

    • Approximately 5 meters long.
    • 3 segments: duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
    • Layers: mucosa (simple columnar epithelium), submucosa, muscularis (2 layers), serosa.
    • Features increasing surface area include plicae circularis, villi, and microvilli.

    Chemical Digestion (Small Intestine)

    • Collective action of pancreatic juice, bile, and intestinal juice.
    • Uses enzymes like pancreatic amylase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase, carboxypeptidase, and pancreatic lipase for carbohydrate, protein, and fat digestion, respectively.

    Absorption (Small Intestine)

    • Movement of digested nutrients from the GIT to the blood.
    • Occurs through diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport.
    • ~90% absorption takes place in the small intestine.

    Large Intestine

    • ~1.5 meters long and ~6.5 cm diameter.
    • 4 major regions: cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal.
    • Colon divided into sections (ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid).
    • Absorbs water and electrolytes, forming feces.

    Layers of the Large Intestine

    • Mucosa: Simple columnar epithelium, goblet cells, and intestinal glands.
    • Submucosa: Connective tissue, vessels, and nerves.
    • Muscularis: Inner circular layer, outer longitudinal layer (teniae coli).
    • Serosa: Outermost layer.

    Rectum-Anal Canal

    • Simple columnar epithelium transitioning to stratified squamous epithelium.
    • Contains muscular layers (internal and external anal sphincters).
    • The anorectal junction marks the transition point and is essential for controlling defecation.

    Chemical Digestion (Large Intestine)

    • Happens through bacteria in the lumen (colon).
    • Bacteria ferment carbohydrates, producing gases, B vitamins, and vitamin K.
    • Also break down proteins to amino acids.
    • Absorbs remaining water and ions (Na+, Cl−) and some vitamins.

    Phases of Digestion

    • Cephalic Phase: Initial stages triggered by sensory input (smell, sight). Prepares mouth and stomach.
    • Gastric Phase: Neural and hormonal mechanisms promote gastric secretion and motility. Begins when food enters the stomach.
    • Intestinal Phase: Begins when chyme enters the small intestine. Stimulates bile and pancreatic juice release to further digestion.
