Q

Muscle contraction during the Pharyngeal Phase involves which structures, and what are their actions?

A

Soft palate and uvula: they move upwards
Epiglottis: moves down to cover larynx

25
Q

Which cranial nerve controls peristalsis in the esophagus?

A

CN 10 (Vagus)

26
Q

The Esophageal Phase begins in the esophagus, when does it end?

A

Ends when the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes and allows food to enter the stomach

27
Q

What happens when food remains in the esophagus?

A

The myenteric plexus triggers a peristaltic wave to push it into the stomach

28
Q

Once more, which of the three swallowing phases is the ONLY voluntary phase?

A

The oral phase is the ONLY voluntary phase

29
Q

Why does food still go down your esophagus even if you were doing a handstand?

A

The esophagus is located within the thorax which has a higher pressure than the abdominal region. The pressure change causes the food to be pushed and pulled to the lower pressure area (the stomach).

30
Q

Which two sphincters work to preserve the pressure gradient by preventing air from getting into the digestive tract?

A

Upper and Lower Esophageal Sphincters

31
Q

Which of the two aforementioned esophageal sphincters prevents stomach acids from entering the esophagus?

A

The Lower Esophageal Sphincter

32
Q

What conditions lead to an increase in intraabdominal pressure?

A

Pregnancy and morbid obesity

33
Q

Increased intraabdominal pressure (IAP) can lead to GERD. What in the worlt is GERD?

A

GERD is gastroesophageal reflux disease! It means your stomach acid is able to enter and irritate the esophagus and its lining.

34
Q

Which GI secretion is an overall INHIBITORY hormone?

A

Somatostatin

35
Q

What is the multifaceted function of somatostatin?

A

It DECREASES and INHIBITS:
- Decreases secretions of other hormones
- Slows gastric emptying time
- Decreases pancreatic secretions
- Decreases visceral blood flow

36
Q

Where is somatostatin secreted from?

A

D cells (within stomach)

37
Q

What’s the role of the hormone Gastrin, a GI secretion?

A

It induces gastric acid secretions after being released due to stimulation by acidic content, food, and vagus nerve stimulation!

38
Q

From where is Gastrin secreted?

A

It is secreted from G cells in the stomach and duodenum (2 locations)

39
Q

(TRUE/FALSE): Gastrin is inhibited by Somatostatin.

A

(TRUE): Gastrin is indeed inhibited by Somatostatin.

40
Q

Motilin is a hormone secreted within the GI tract. What is its purpose?

A

It functions to stimulate gastric and pancreatic enzyme secretion, increase gastric emptying, and IMPORTANTLY, stimulates GI tract motility.

Idea: Say “Motilinty” (mo-till-in-tee, tongue twister) to combine the name of the secretion with its primary purpose.

41
Q

Where is Motilin secreted from?

A

M cells (of proximal small intestine)

Idea: Dial M for Motilin

42
Q

What stimulates the release of Motilin?

A

Gastric distention and duodenal alkalinization

43
Q

Jamie pull up real quick what Secretin does and where it’s secreted from.

A

It says it increases the pH of the duodenum and increases bicarbonate, and it’s secreted by S cells in the small intestine. Wild.

44
Q

What is the function of Cholecystokinin (CCK)?

A

It functions to slow gastric emptying, increases gallbladder contraction, and increases pancreatic enzyme secretion.

45
Q

Where is Cholecystokinin (CCK) secreted from?

A

I Cells (of small intestine)

(iCell lol)

46
Q

What stimulates the release of Cholecystokinin (CCK)?

A
  • Nutrient ingestion
  • Presence of fatty acids
  • Presence of amino acids

All 3 stimulate the release of CCK

47
Q

What is the role of insulin within the GI tract?

A
  • decreases blood glucose
  • promotes glycogen storage
  • promotes lipid storage in adipose
48
Q

(TRUE/FALSE): Insulin is an anabolic hormone.

A

(TRUE): Insulin is definitely an anabolic hormone, it promotes protein synthesis and allows the uptake of glucose for your muscles.

(Just know that insulin is anabolic as that fact alone is found on the slides.)

49
Q

Where can we find insulin secretions taking place?

A

Beta cells of pancreatic islet cells

50
Q

What stimulus does the body detect that makes it secrete insulin?

A

High blood glucose

51
Q

Glucagon is essentially the enemy of insulin. What is its function?

A

Glucagon counteracts insulin and increases blood glucose.

52
Q

What cells secrete glucagon?

A

Alpha cells of pancreatic islet cells

53
Q

Histamine’s got me all choked up… what does histamine do once activated by parietal cells?

A

It releases HCL into the stomach

54
Q

Where is histamine secreted?

A

From the stomach mucosa

55
Q

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide understandably goes by its short abbreviation of “VIP”. What is its purpose?

A

VIP dilates intestinal capillaries, increases secretions, and relaxes the smooth muscle of the GI.

56
Q

What is Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) stimulated by?

A

VIP is stimulated by parasympathetic ganglia.

57
Q

Ghrelin and Leptin have inverse function. What is the function of Ghrelin?

A
  • Stimulates HUNGER
  • Acts on the hypothalamus
58
Q

Where is Ghrelin secreted from and what stimulates its secretion?

A

Gastric cells after the stomach realizes it is empty

59
Q

What inhibits Ghrelin?

A

Ghrelin is inhibited by the stomach stretching when it is full

60
Q

Leptin is the opposite of Ghrelin. What is its purpose?

A
  • Stimulates SATIETY (fullness)
  • Acts on the hypothalamus
61
Q

Where is Leptin secreted from?

A

Adipocytes

62
Q

What stimulates and inhibits Leptin?

A

Stimulated by a full stomach, inhibited by an empty stomach
