23
Q

What muscle types are found in the oesophagus?

A

skeletal and smooth

24
Q

What is gastric juice and where is it found?

A

hydrochloric acid (HCl), lipase, and pepsin
stomach

25
Q

What are the muscle layers of the stomach?

A

innermost oblique, middle circular, longitudinal outer

26
Q

What is the process in which substances move in the GIT?

A

peristalsis

27
Q

What are the 3 phases that stimulate gastric activity?

A

Celiac phase
Gastric phase
Intestinal phase

28
Q

What is the cephalic phase compromised of?

A

mechanical (chewing- muscles of mastication)
chemical (taste, smell)
psychic (visual, emotional)

29
Q

What is the gastric phase compromised of?

A

mechanical (digestion)
chemical (food in stomach)

30
Q

What is the intestinal phase compromised of?

A

mechanical (distension)
chemical (acid, protein in the duodenum)

31
Q

What is a long reflex?

A

to the brain

32
Q

What is a short reflex?

A

locally

33
Q

What is the control (nervation and hormonal) of the cephalic phase?

A

long reflex

34
Q

What is the control (nervation and hormonal) of the gastric phase?

A

nerves (long and short reflexes)
hormones (gastrin)

35
Q

What is the control (nervation and hormonal) of the intestinal phase?

A

nerves (long and short reflexes)
hormones (GIP, CCK secretin)

36
Q

What are the controls of the small intestine?

A

mainly short reflexes in response to intra stimuli

37
Q

What muscle contracts in the small intestine?

A

smooth muscle

38
Q

What has the greatest effect on pancreatic bicarbonate secretion?

A

vagus nerve (cephalic and gastric phase), CCK and VIP all have a weak stimulatory effect on bicarbonate

only secretin has a great one

39
Q

What is VIP?

A

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide

breaks down glycogen
relaxes the smooth muscle of the gall bladder and the stomach.

40
Q

Is the gallbladder essential?

A

no

41
Q

What can the gallbladder sometimes have?

A

stones made of cholesterol

42
Q

What has the greatest effect on pancreatic enzyme secretion?

A

vagus nerve (celiac and gastric) = small effect
gastrin and GIP = small effect
CCK = big effect, stimulates secretion of enzyme rich pancreatic juice

43
Q

What is the effect of the vagus nerve on the secretion of bile?

A

relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi

44
Q

What is the effect of CCK on the secretion of bile?

A

stimulates contraction of gall bladder
relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi

45
Q

What is the effect of secretin of the secretion of bile?

A

stimulates contraction of gall bladder
relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi
(weaker than CCK)

46
Q

What are the secretions of the large intestine and rectum?

A

mucus
water and electrolytes

47
Q

What kind of reflexes control mixing in large bowl?

A

long

48
Q

How are long reflexes in the large intestine triggered?

A

food entering the stomach

49
Q

What is the gastro-ileal reflex?

A

gastric activity increased motility in ileum

50
Q

What is the gastro-colic reflex?

A

gastric activity increased motility in colon

51
Q

What is the nerve supply of the colon up to the splenic flexure?

A

vagus (X)

52
Q

What is the nerve supply of the descending colon and rectum?

A

pelvic nerves (S2-4)

53
Q

What somatic nerve controls the anal canal?

A

sacral nerve

54
Q

What ANS branch is the internal anal sphincter controlled by?

A

parasympathetic

55
Q

What nerves is the external anal sphincter controlled by?

A

skeletal muscle that is controlled by somatic nerve supply from the Inferior anal branch of the Pudendal nerve (S2,3,4), which allows conscious control of defecation.

56
Q

What does the defecation (rectosphincter) reflex result in?

A

relaxes the internal sphincter. If defecation is not desired, voluntary contraction of the external sphincter can delay it.

series of reflexes take place that lead to:

Contraction of abdominal wall muscles
Relaxation of pelvic wall muscles
Relaxation of external anal sphincter
Peristaltic waves then facilitate the movement of faeces through the anal canal
