E N D
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM • Consists of a muscular tube • The tube is open at both ends • GI tract consists mouth, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum • Other accessory organs are located in the main digestive tract, e.g. pancreas and gall bladder
Oral cavity • Anatomy • Lips • Hard and soft palate • Tongue, gums, and teeth
Lips • Anatomy The entire cavity is lined by the mucous membrane. • Common histologies 1. Squamous cell carcinoma 2. Adenocarcinoma occurs in minor salivary glands
Tongue • Anatomy Striated muscle covered by mucous membrane Divided into two portions. The anterior 2/3 and the base. Common histologies Squamous cell carcinoma
Salivary glands • Anatomy Three pairs of major salivary glands. • Parotid glands. • Submandibular glands • Sublingual glands
Pharynx • Food passes through the pharynx to the oesophagus. • The pharynx lies behind the nose and is common to both the respiratory and digestive systems • The epiglottis (small flap of cartilage) situated behind the tongue and it prevents food when swallowed passing into the lungs
Pharynx • Anatomy The pharynx is composed of muscle lined with a mucous membrane. The faucial or palatine tonsils are located in the oropharynx The lingual tonsils are in the base of the tongue Divided into three regions: • nasopharynx • oropharynx • hypopharynx
Nasopharynx • The nasopharynx lies behind the nasal cavity
Oropharynx • The oropharynx lies behind the buccal cavity, below the soft palate, and above the opening to the larynx
Hypopharynx • The hypopharynx is located behind and lateral to the larynx • The hypopharynx serves as a passage for food only
Alimentary canal - Oesophagus • Anatomy • Oesophagus extends from the hypopharynx to the stomach • The oesophagus is divided into three segments: • Cervical • Thoracic • Abdominal
Oesophagus • Common histologies • Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) • Adenocarcinoma
Stomach • Anatomy The stomach lies just below the diaphragm and its main divisions are: • Cardia • Fundus • Pyloric antrum
Stomach (Cont) • Anatomy • The greater omentum is a large fold of peritoneum • The medial border is called the lesser curvature • The lateral border is called the greater curvature
Stomach (cont) • Common histologies • Adenocarcinoma • Linitis plastica • Leiomyosarcoma • Lymphoma (the most common extranodal site for lymphoma) • Squamous cell carcinoma occurs at the cardio-oesophageal junction
Small Intestine • Anatomy The small intestine is about 7 metres (20 feet) long, The three divisions are: • duodenum • jejunum • ileum • Common histologies • Adenocarcinoma • Lymphoma • Leiomyosarcoma • Carcinoid
Colon and rectum • Anatomy The colon is about 5 feet long and divided into 3 parts: • Colon • Rectum • Anus
Colon and rectum (cont) • Anatomy The colon is divided into 5 segments: • Caecum • Ascending colon • Transverse colon • Descending colon • Sigmoid colon
Colon and rectum (cont) • Common histologies • Adenocarcinoma • Carcinoids of the appendix • Squamous cell carcinoma (most common malignancy of the anus) • Cloacogenic transitional cell carcinoma
Liver • Anatomy • The liver is the largest internal organ
Liver • Common histologies Primary liver tumours are rare Cholangiocarcinoma arises in the intrahepatic bile ducts
Gall bladder • Anatomy The gallbladder lies against the under-surface of the right lobe of the liver and has dual blood supply • Common histology Adenocarcinoma
Pancreas • Anatomy The pancreas is divided into the head (near the stomach) body and tail (near the spleen). • Common histologies • Adenocarcinoma • Islet cell carcinoma
The Respiratory System • General Anatomy • Nose • Nasopharynx • Larynx • Trachea • Bronchi • Lungs
Nose and paranasal (accessory) sinuses • Anatomy Two nasal cavities Nostrils (external orifices) Choana • Common histologies Squamous cell carcinoma Adenocarcinoma Adenoid cystic carcinoma Melanoma Lymphoma
Nasopharynx • Anatomy Posterior superior wall (vault) Lateral wall • Common histologies Squamous cell carcinoma
Larynx • Anatomy Sub-divided into three anatomic subsites: Supraglottis Glottis Subglottis • Common Histologies Squamous cell carcinoma
Trachea, Bronchus & Lung • Anatomy Trachea Bronchus Lungs
Lung • Common histologies Squamous cell carcinoma Adenocarcinoma Small cell carcinoma Large cell anaplastic carcinoma Carcinoid tumours Mesothelioma (Pleura) Melanoma Lymphoma
The circulatory & cardiovascular systems • Circulatory system Function to transport oxygenated blood etc to the tissues Carry waste products away for removal • Cardiovascular system Heart Blood vessels Three systems Pulmonary Systemic Portal
The Lymphatic System Three major components • Lymphatic vessels • Lymph • Lymph nodes
Three primary functions • Collects lymph from tissues of the body • Absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins • Defence against invading micro-organisms and disease
Lymphomas • 2 major classifications • Non Hodgkin’s Lymphomas • Hodgkin’s Disease
The Haematopoietic System • Multiple Myeloma • Proliferation of plasma cells • 3 most common immunoglobulins are IgC IgA and IgM. • Immunogloublins consist of light and heavy chains
The Haematopoietic System • Leukaemias Two types of haematopoietic tissue • Myeloid • Lymphoid Blood is a form of connective tissue and has two parts • Plasma • Formed elements (blood cells)
Leukaemias- common histologies Leukaemias originate in bone marrow. • Acute Lymphocytic Leukaemia (ALL) • Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL). (may be a disease progression of well differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma) • Acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML) • Chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML)
The musculoskeletal system • General anatomy - Cartilage • Muscles • Fascia • Ligaments • Bones • Cartilage
Bone • Bones are classified into five types • Long • Short • Flat • Irregular • Round
Bone - Common Histologies • The most common malignancy of bone is metastatic tumour from other primaries • Most common is Osteosarcoma • Tumours of cartilaginous or bony origin: • Osteogenic Sarcoma • Chrondrosarcoma • Ewings Sarcoma. • Giant Cell
The Muscular System • Anatomy Three types of muscles: • Skeletal (striated) • Smooth • Cardiac
Common Histologies • Fibrosarcoma • Leiomyosarcoma • Rhabdomyosarcoma • Angiosarcoma • Liposarcoma • Malignant fibrous histiocytoma • Synovial sarcoma
The Skin • Two primary layers and tissue type • Epidermis- epithelium tissue • Dermis – connective tissue
Melanoma • Melanoma is a skin malignancy • Derived from melanocytes or naevus cell • A naevus is a mole or birthmark
