INTRODUCTION? GENERAL HISTOLOGY OF ALIMENTARY CANAL
? It is tubular structure
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Four layers in the wall? Layers from deep to superficial:--
I) Mucosa
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
- Epithelium- Lamina propria
- Muscularis Mucosae
II) Submucosa
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
III) Muscle layer
IV) Serous layer / Adventitial layer
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
MUCOSA
? Innermost layer of alimentary canal.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? EpitheliumIt is simple columnar (Absorption/secretion) all
over

except in the Oesophagus and the lower part of
Anal canal where it is stratified squamous

Nonkeratinized Stratified Squamous
? Lamina propria
? Layers of loose connective tissue
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Supports the epithelium? Contains blood and lymphatic vessels
? It also contain glands (gastric glands)
? It also contains mucosa associated lymphoid
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
tissue (MALT).? Muscularis mucosae
- Thin layer of smooth
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
muscle that separateslamina propria with the
submucosa.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
- Inner layer: Circular
- Outer layer: Longitudinal
- It changes the shape of
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
mucosa, that helps inabsorption and secretion
SUBMUCOSA
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Consists of dense connective tissue rich incollagen and elastic fibres.
? Contain numerous blood vessels, lymphatics
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
and nerve fibres and Meissner's plexus.
? It also contains glands (oesophagus and
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
duodenum)MUSCLE LAYER
? It consists of smooth muscles all over GIT except
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
upper part of oesophagus which contain skeletalmuscles.
? Arranged in two layers
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
- Inner layer: Circular- Outer layer: Longitudinal
Between the two layers "Auerbach's plexus
(Myenteric plexus)" is present.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
This plexus controles motility of tract.
SEROSA /ADVENTITIA
? It is merely visceral peritoneum composed of
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
connective tissue and simple squamous
epithelium.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? The oesophagus lies outside the abdominalcavity has a superficial layer called Adventitia
which consists of areolar connective tissue
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
OESOPHAGUS? It is a straight muscular tube extending from pharynx
in neck to the stomach in abdomen.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? MUCOSA:
Epithelium: Non-Keratinised sratified squamous
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
epitheliumLamina Propria: Thin layer of loose connective tissue.
Muscularis Mucosae:
- It is thicker than other parts of GIT
- It is single layer of longitudinally running smooth
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
muscle fibres.
? SUBMUCOSA:
? It is a wide layer of, dense connective tissue
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
composed of bundles of collagen and elastic
fibres.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Due to elastic fibres, submucosa is thrown intofolds, hence lumen of oesophagus appears star
shaped
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Contains blood vessels and branched tubulo-
alveolar mucous glands
? MUSCLE LAYER
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Arranged in two layers:
- Inner layer: Circular
- Outer layer: Longitudinal
* Between the two layers ? Myenteric plexus of
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
nerve fibre and ganglion cells are present. It
controls peristaltic movement.

TYPES OF MUSCLES:Upper 1/3rd ? Skeletal muscle
Middle 1/3rd ? Both skeletal and smooth muscle
Lower 1/3rd ? purely smooth muscle
? SEROSA / ADVEVTITIA

which merges with the connective tissue of

INTRODUCTION
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? On the basis of histological structure, stomach isdivided into three region:--
? i)Cardiac region
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? ii)Fundic(or body) region? iii)Pyloric region
? The stomach wall exhibits four general regions:--
? Mucosa-- a) Lining epithelium, b) Lamina propria,
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
c) Musularis mucosae? Submucosa
? Muscle layer and
? Serosa .

FUNDIC OR BODY REGION
? Mucosa
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? a)Lining epithelium? Simple columnar
epithelium that
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
invaginates to variousextents into the lamina
propria, forming gastric
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
pits.
- These cells are involved in
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
mucus secretion. Themucus protects the
epithelial lining from
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
damage due to the
presence of acid in the
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
stomach.? b)Lamina propria--
? Small tubular fundic/gastric glands are present.
Types of cells:
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
i) Mucous neck cells ? Located just below gastric pit.
- Columnar in shape
- Contain mucinogen
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
- Produces soluble mucus? Parietal or oxyntic cells:
? Large ,rounded or pyramidal in shape
? Found in upper half of gastric gland.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Secretes HCL and intrinsic factor. Intrinsicfactor combines with vitamin B12
? Chief or zymogenic cells:
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? - Located in the lower 1/3rd of gastric glands? - Secrete pepsinogen which is converted into
pepsin in an acid environment.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Enteroendocrine and APUD cells:- Located in the basal portion of gastric glands
- Secretes serotonin, histamine and gastrin.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
These are endocrine cells which release theirproducts into the blood vessels.
