Line drawing showing the lining of the GI tract: colorectal (muscularis). The walls of the digestive tract have four layers of tissue: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa and serosa. The inner-most layer is the mucosa, a membrane that forms a continuous lining of the GI tract from the mouth to the anus. In the large bowel, this tissue contains cells that produce mucus to lubricate and protect the smooth inner surface of the bowel wall. Connective tissue and muscle separate the muscosa from the second layer, the submucosa, which contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves and mucus-producing glands. Next to the submucosa is the muscularis externa, consisting of two layers of muscle fibers-one that runs lengthwise and one that encircles the bowel. The fourth layer, the serosa, is a thin membrane that produces fluid to lubricate the outer surface of the bowel so that it can slide against adjacent organs. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.

The metastatic colony is the end result of a complicated multistep process. The tumor cells from a primary tumor invade local tissue and gain access to the venous circulation (intravasation). Circulating tumor cells, singly or in clumps, are transported to target organs where they lodge in the capillary bed. Thus arrested, these tumor cells penetrate the endothelial cell lining and the underlining basement membrane to exit the circulation (extravasation). They then grow as a metastatic colony, a development that requires new blood vessels (neovascularization). To complete this multistep process, the tumor cells must overcome the host's defenses.

Estivo-autumnal malaria, caused by P. falciparum, is responsible for most of the deaths from malaria. The organisms block the blood vessels of the brain. P. falciparum rings have delicate cytoplasm and 1 or 2 small chromatin dots. Credit: CDC.
