DIGESTIVE SYSTEM 2 Intestine LIVER PANCREAS
Small intestine Functions: digestion – by enzimes from liver, pancreas, and enterocytes (Membrane and luminal digestion) absorption – by enterocytes
Duodenum Ileum lacteal Villus serosa
plicae circularis: mucosa + submucosa intestinal villi: Intestinal lining: plicae circularis: mucosa + submucosa intestinal villi: epithelium, lamina propria, mm crypts: invaginations of epithelium in the lamina propria (endocrine, Paneth cells and stem cells) simple columnar epithelium: absorptive enterocytes, goblet cells fenestrated capillaries and central lacteal
plicae circularis (folds): mucosa + submucosa Intestinal lining: plicae circularis (folds): mucosa + submucosa intestinal villi: epithelium + lamina propria with muscularis mucosae (increased surface)
Villus 1. Epithelium
2. Goblet cells produce a protective mucus. 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 capillary Lymphocytes and plasma cells are very numerous.

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.

Liver & Gall Bladder
Functions: Bile synthesis and secretion (emulsification) Excretion of bilirubin Protein synthesis Gluconeogenesis Storage Detoxification Protective Hemopoietic organ Endocrine
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
cv sv pt Connective tissue poor develops Central veins (cv) drain to a sublobular vein (sv). .The portal triads (pt) locate at lobule coners.
The bile canaliculus wall is made Hepatic plate (cord) is one or two cells thick Between cells the bile canaliculi locate Bile canaliculus hepatocyte sinusoid Kupffer cell The bile canaliculus wall is made up of hepatocytes
Hepatocytes: !- Vascular and bile surfaces Organelles - Polyhedral (6 surfaces) !- Vascular and bile surfaces Organelles - a. RER b. SER c. Golgi complex d. Mitochondria Inclusions
The bile canaliculus form a network that eventually empty into bile duct at the periphery of the lobule. h h b
