    This document outlines the objectives and pathology covered in a lecture on intestines. The objectives are to review intestinal structure and function, discuss malabsorption, infections, inflammatory diseases, and tumors. Regarding pathology, changes are restricted to the small intestine mucosa, where an increased loss of epithelial cells results in a decrease in villus height known as villous atrophy. Immunologic studies of the mucosa show the presence of anti-gliadin IgA antibodies.

    Intestines

    Dr.Padmini Wijenayake

    Objectives
    Revise the structure and the function
    Overview of malabsorption
    Clinical manifestations and the
    pathophysiology of intestinal
    infections
    Pathophysiology of inflammatory
    intestinal diseases
    Macroscopical and microscopical
    features of intestinal tumors

    Pathology
    Changes are restricted to the small
    intestinal mucosa
    Increased rate of loss of epithelial
    cells
    resulting in progressive decrease in
    height of villi (villous atrophy).
    Immunologic studies show the
    presence of anti-gliadin IgA
    antibodies in the mucosa.
