2. DIGESTIVE SYSTEM- general Flashcards
LARGE AND SMALL ANIMALS
processes of GIT
-git motility
-git secretion
-effect of enzymes, activity
-absorption
-elimination
regulation of functions of dig.tract (2)
- neural regulation:
-short reflex arcs: wall of GI, sensory and motor nerve cells -Reflexes!
-Long reflex arch: GI and CNS. coordinates activities betw. different parts GI. - hormonal regulation: dig.tract react to>wall strech, changes in nutrient concentration, changes in osmolarity, pH, irritation of MM
-GI hormones produced after stimuli endocrine cells via short or long reflexes
-produced after stimulation via luminal contents or strech of tract wall
substances affecting GIT (5)
- incr. and suppress appetite
- upper GIT: incr. or suppress salivary secretion, reduce irritation of MM
- stomach: gastric motility and secretion, against meteors, antacids, medicines for treat ulcers, emetics, antiemetics
- intestinal tract: laxatives, intestinal motility and secretion, locally acting agents (coating, astringents)
- liver and bile
eating behaviour-regulation?
-short-term control: hunger and eating
-long-term control: regulation of nutrient supply of organism
> linked satiety center
substances increasing appetite?
-vitamin B
-glucocorticosteroids: incr. gluconeogenesis and animal’s comfort
-short-term: BENZODIAZEPINES>icr. appetite cattle and sheep due suppress satiety centre
-serving tasty food in small portion sizes
> humans: incr.by CYPROHEPTADINE AND ANTISEROTONIN: incl. antihistamines with anti serotonin properties
medications for depression and psychosis
substances suppressing appetite?
-appetite suppressants or anorexigenic substances: glycolysis by suppressing hunger > DESOPPIMONE, PHEPRANONE, AMPHETAMINE
upper GIT - subs. stimulating salivary secretion
-bitter substances
-CHOLINOMIMETIC DRUGS : flow of saliva incr. activation of PNS
upper GIT -subs. suppressing salivary secretion
-primarily used premed of ane. >ANTICHOLINERGIC AGENTS > ATROPINE -buccal surgery
-NEUROLEPTICS, HISTAMINE BLOCKERS and other medicines also cause ‘‘dry mouth’’
subs. affecting stomach, function?
gastric motility and secretion
-REMEDIES for rumination=incr. intensity of function of ruminants forestomachs > CHOLINOMIMETIC DRUGS, LACTIC ACIDS
-STIMULANTS OF GASTRIC SECRETION: HISTAMINE AND PENTAGASTRIN = latter responsible secretion of gastric acid (not vetmed)
substances affecting stomach: SIMETHICONE
-antiflatulent (aine vähentää kaasuja ja ilmavaivoja :D )
rumen
-bubbles trapped into foam > binds and ultimately pass out
vomiting
-stomach content forced back into oral cavity
-vomiting starts with deep inspiration after abdominal muscles contract
what animal species do vomit? human, dog (NOT vomit: horse, rabbit)
emetics
-vomiting : protective reflex
-APOMORPHINE
-NARCOTIC ANALGESICS
peripherally acting emetics
-hydrogen peroxide 3%-can cause ulcers esophagus, stomach, intestines
-salt, salt solutions
> irritates throat, esophagus and epithelial wall of stomach
centrally acting emetics
-OPIATES , APOMORPHINE AND GLYCOSIDES
> act directly on vomiting centre
-APOMORPHINE : SYNTHETIC DERIVATIVE OF MORPHINE - CNS effect low - stimulate vomiting
-ALPHA2 AGONIST: emetic effect cats
effect of opioids
-both emetic and antiemetic
-vomiting center=antiemetic
-chemoreceptor trigger zone= emetic
