Histology of gastrointestinal tractHistology of gastrointestinal tractHistology of gastrointestinal tractHistology of gastrointestinal tract
Gastrointestinal tract has four distinct layers Mucosa Mucosa
Epithelium
L i i i f i Lamina propria – supporting function Consist of loose connective tissue (elastic fibers), vessels, nerves,
l d l h id i (i i )glands, lymphoid aggregation (immunity)
Muscularis mucosae – thin smooth muscle layer that is involved in the movement of mucosa
Submucosa Consist of loose connective tissue, large vessels, nerves,Consist of loose connective tissue, large vessels, nerves,
glands, submucosal, submucosus nerve plexus (Meissner´s plexus), and lymphoid aggregation (immunity)gg g
Muscularis propria Muscular wall consist of smooth muscle arranged in two Muscular wall consist of smooth muscle arranged in two
layers, inner circular and outer longitudinal Participate in the peristaltic contraction Participate in the peristaltic contraction Myenteric nerve plexus (Auerbach´s plexus) is located
between these two layersbetween these two layersAdventitia (serosa)

PancreasPancreas
Pancreas is mixed exocrine (digestive system) and endocrine
gland.
Endocrine part forms pancreatic islets called islets of Endocrine part forms pancreatic islets called islets of
Langerhans
There are four types of cell including
Alpha cells secrete glucagon Alpha cells – secrete glucagon
Beta cells – secrete insulin
Delta cells – secrete somatostatin
F-cells - secrete pancreatic polypeptide
Blood capillaries surround all these cells

Microscopic preparation Microscopic preparation –– Liver Liver
B l i f li i h i l b lBase structural unit of liver is hepatic lobule It is hexagonaly in shape and is centered on the terminal hepatic
venule (centrilobular venule)venule (centrilobular venule)
Consist of hepatocytes, separated by the vascular channels called i id (bl d f h h i d l i )sinusoids (blood from the hepatic artery and portal vein)
The blood from sinusoids flows into the centrilobular venule → The blood from sinusoids flows into the centrilobular venule → hepatic vein → inferior vena cava
Bile is secreted by hepatocytes → enters bile canaliculi thatempty into small bile ducts
Portal tract (portal triad) located at the angles of the hexagon Portal tract is consist of the vein (branch of hepatic portal vein – nutrition),
the artery (br n h hep ti rter o gen) nd the bile ductthe artery (branch hepatic artery – oxygen) and the bile duct
