1) name
2) voluntary or involuntary
3) What happens (3)

2) voluntary or involuntary
3) What happens (3)

Describe 3rd phase of deglutition

1) name
2) voluntary/invol
3) what happens (3)

A

1) Oral
2) Voluntary (bc striated muscle)
3) Food bolus made from mastication;
Tongue moves up and back;
Soft palate rises to close nasal cavity

1) Pharyngeal
2)Involuntary
3) Soft palate rises (close nasal cav);
Epiglottis closes;
Tactile/distention receptors in pharynx wall tell brain stem via CNXII (hypoglossus) to relax upper oral sphincter/cricopharyngeal sphincter relaxes

1) oesophageal
2) involuntary
3) UOS contract; bolus moved by peristalsis; LOS relaxes

A
  1. Food comes down oesophagus
  2. Tactile/distention receptors detect & send signal to brain stem via vagal afferent fibre
  3. Brain stem>efferent>phrenic and vagus
    4a. Phrenic contracts diaphragm by acetylcholine (open up hiatus)
    4b. Vagus excitatory fibres switched off
    4c. Vagus inhibitory fibres stimulated and release relaxing factors (NO&vasoactive intestinal peptide)
  4. LOS open
  5. After release, reflex contraction of LOS to stop blackflow

A

1 LOS-control entry of food
2 Pacemaker zone (side of greater curvature)-sense distention/tactile stimuli & increase amplitude and freq of peristaltic contractions
3 Corpus-body of stomach; has acid secreting cells
4 Pyloric antrum-muscular pump to mix contents; endocrine cells that release gastric
5 Pyloric sphincter-causes retropulsion when shuts

Q

How we accommodate large meal

A
  1. Distention detected
  2. Signal via vagal afferent nerve>nodose ganglion>brain stem
  3. Vagal efferent fibres: increase VIP/NO release; decrease Ach release

Q

Feeling full process

A
  1. Fats digest last; fatty acids/proteins stimulate intestine cell
  2. Cholecystokinin (CCK) released Into blood
  3. acts on vagal afferent fibres; cck receptors coming down to sense.
  4. Signals travel up via nodose ganglion to brain stem>relax stomach/reduce gastric motility & satiety centre activated(lower appetite and food intake)

Rate of emptying controlled by ?

A

  3. List those of antrum (4)

LIST ROLES (total 6 different cells)

A
  1. Surface epithelial cell
  2. Surf ep
    Chief/zymogen
    Parietal
    ECL (enterochromaffin-like)
  3. Surf ep
    Chief/zymogen (less than corpus)
    G cells
    D cells
  • Surf ep: mucus, HCO3- barrier
  • Zymogen: pepsinogen (pepsin precursor, activated by pepsin and H+)
  • Parietal: HCl secretion and intrinsic factor for B12 absorption
  • ECL: histamine (helps to make HCl)
  • G cell: gastrin (+histamine) secretion
  • D cell: somatostatin (inhibits everything)

A
  1. Surf ep at top of loop of gland
  2. Proliferating cells
  3. Parietal cells
  4. ECL distal to lumen with chief cells proximal to gland lumen (layer them)

Q

Describe how parietal cell secretes HCl
Total 6 channels
3 on each side
Stimulators for HCl secretion (4)

A

In tubulovesicular system?

Note H+ & HCO3- come from resp products>carbonic anhydrase>carbonic acid (h2co3)>h+ and HCO3-

Lumenal/apical side:
1 H+/K+ATPase (H+ out)
2 K+ channel (k+ out)
3 Cl- out (so HCl; maintain electro neutrality

Basolateral side (blood)
1 HCO3-/Cl- exchanger (H+ pumped out so build up of HCO3- inside>pumped out)
2 Na+/K+ATPase (facilitates HCO3- exchanger>sodium bicarb out)
3 K+ channel 
Food
Neural receptors
Histamine
Gastric receptors 
(All open k+ channel wider)

Q

How acid secretion is controlled

  1. How (by what)
  2. Reason to stop acid secretion
A
  1. D cell secrete somatostatin, causes cells to stop releasing H+

    Full

  1. Stimulated by
  2. Inhibited by
  3. What happens to gastrin
A
  1. Stimulated by protein/peptide/aa; GRP in cephalic phase
  2. Too much H+ cause D cell to release somatostatin>inhibit G cell releasing gastrin
  3. Goes to circulation>stomach corpus>Stimulate ECL/parietal to secrete histamine/parietal to secrete H+
17
Q

Acid inhibitory therapy:
Which cell
Different ways this can be done (2 main, describe and e.g. of a drug of each)

A

Parietal cell

  1. H2/Histamine receptor: use competitive antagonist of histamine for this receptor e.g. Zantac/Tagamet/Pepcid AC
  2. Proton pump (H+/K+ATPase) inhibited/permanently blocked e.g. omeprazole/losec/nexium

A

Helicobacter pylori
