DIGESTIVE SYSTEM 2

Intestine

LIVER

PANCREAS

Small intestine

Functions:• digestion – by enzimes from liver,

pancreas, and enterocytes (Membrane and luminal digestion)

• absorption – by enterocytes

IleumDuodenum

Villus

lacteal

serosa

Villus

1. Epithelium

Epithelium: simple columnar . Cells:1. Enterocytes -- Columnar absorptive cells --

have microvilli = brush border for absorption of digested food. 2. Goblet cells produce a protective mucus.

Lamina propria: Connective tissue, has fenestrated capillaries and central lacteal

-- lymphatic capillaryLymphocytes and plasma cells are very

numerous.

Jejunum

The jejunum is like the duodenum & ileum

but has no submucosal glands and Peyer’s patches.

Contains bigger amount of goblet cells

muscul.mucosa

Large intestine (bowal) - general

• Function = Reabsorbtion of water and electrolytes + Elimination of wastes

• Inner lining - permanent internal folds of its mucosa + submucosa called plicae circulares and crypts.

• Its mucosa lacks of villi.• muscularis externa: The inner circular layer is

uniform but the outer longitudinal layer has 3 thicker bands, the taenia coli.

• where the colon faces the abdominal cavity there is a serosa.

Taenia coli

Liver & Gall Bladder

Liver has lobulated structure

Liver lobule is hexagonal in shape

① at its center - central

vein

② hepatic plates （ cords of cells – hepatocytes locate radially

③ hepatic sinusoids locate

between plates

Liver lobule

• Hepatic plate (cord) is one or two cells thick

• Between cells the bile canaliculi locate

The bile canaliculus wall is made up of hepatocytes

Bile canaliculus

•Hepatocytes：

Polyhedral (6 surfaces)

!- Vascular and bile surfaces

Organelles - a. RERb. SERc. Golgi complexd. MitochondriaInclusions

The bile canaliculus form a network that eventually empty into bile duct at the periphery of the lobule.

Pancreas --mixed gland

• Functions:–Exocrine

• Trypsinogen, pepsinogen, peptidase• Amylase• Lipase• Deoxyribonuclease, ribonuclease

–Endocrine

Pancreas – compound acinar serous gland

• Exocrine – 98-99%• Endocrine – 1-2%

• Anatomy:

• Capsule

• Septae (have Interlobular duct)

• Lobules (Serous secretory units + ducts)

• A – glucagon blood glucose

15-20%

• D – somatostatin insulin

5-10% glucagon

• PP – PP,
