Q

How do the muscles change throughout the esophagus?

A

two main bands of muscle, an inner circu- lar layer and outer longitudinal layer. The resting tone of these muscles causes the inner epithelium to fold in on itself, effectively obliterating the lumen. Elastic fibers enable the esophageal lumen to expand and allow passage of a food bolus. The upper third of the esophagus, includ- ing the cricopharyngeus muscle, contains striated muscle to allow for the voluntary initiation of swallowing. The middle portion of the esophagus is a mixture of skeletal and smooth muscle, and the distal third is composed only of smooth muscle. Although it is relatively fixed at its origin, the esophagus becomes mobile as it traverses the medias- tinum and can be easily displaced by adjacent structures.

86
Q

H2 blocker SE

A

central nervous system effects, such as somnolence, dizziness, and confusion. Transient increases in liver enzyme levels may be noted. Some patients may exhibit abnormalities in cardiac con- duction as the heart contains H2 receptors. Cimetidine has been shown to cause gynecomastia.

87
Q

how do ppi work?

A

H, K atpase - work by irreversibly binding to stimulated proton pumps to block the secretion of hydrogen ions.

88
Q

how do h2 blockers work?

A

Histamine is the primary stimulus to gastric acid secretion. It binds to the histamine-2 (H2) receptor located on the basolateral portion of the parietal cell to stimulate the release of hydrochloric acid

highly selective com- petitive inhibitors of histamine for the H2 receptor on parietal cells and reduce the volume of gastric juice and its hydrogen ion concentration.
