🌸🌸 Rectal Daisies 🌸🌸

A bouquet with a unique fragrance.

Here's the 🔬 story behind these pretty flowers...

i♡histo

Microscopically, the mucosal lining of the rectum & colon exhibits many intestinal glands or crypts of Lieberkuhn (the flowers) that are lined with mucus secreting goblet cells (the petals).

Mucus collects in the lumen of the gland (center of flower) and is squeezed out when the muscular wall contracts to push the fecal material out.

As the feces move through the colon, water is reabsorbed making them drier to conserve the water. As a result, the mucus secreted from these crypts is super important in this region because it ensures that the tube is well lubricated to allow the dry feces to be passed along the colon easily without causing any damage (the mucus decreases friction).

If you slice up the colon or rectum in a way that ensures you cut through the mucosa parallel with its surface then your rectum looks much more like a field full of daisies with pretty goblet cell petals than a chute for passing along poop 💩

Rushing to get my accounting homework done in time for medlab is not how I envisioned my Saturday morning to like but that's life I guess.

Autumn is finally here in the South and I can't be happier as this means that I can spend as much time in oversized sweaters as I want without overheating and dying of a heatstroke.
