Anderson Digestive Flashcards
what innervates constrictor/swallowing muscles
CN 9 and 10 (mostly 10)
what innervates stylopharyngeus muscle?
CN9
what innervates and elevates palate?
CN 5 and CN 10
levator tensor palati
where is esophagus
what does it go through
innervated by
behind trachea
through esophageal hiatus in diaphragm
CN 10 (vagus)
what kind of muscle in esophagus?
upper is voluntary swallowing striated muscle
lower is involuntary peristalsis smooth muscle
most common pharyngeal cancer caused by smoking
SCC
spread to cervical LN etc
What needs to be ruled out with GERD?
hiatal hernia
sliding is most common
esophageal varices are often caused by
portal hypertension
- also alcoholic cirrhosis
metaplasia of distal esophagus is called ___
this causes what histological change____ and predisposes for _____
Barrett’s esophagus
squamous cell converts to columnar gastric cells
adenocarcinoma
layers of muscle in stomach
internal: oblique
middle: circular
external: longitudinal
attachments of stomach
main artery
lesser omentum (hepato duodenal, hepato gastric ligaments) greater omentum (peritoneal ligament): lots of fat and circulation off greater curvature of stomache.
- celiac arteri (L and R gastric)
acute gastitis caused by
chronic gastritis caused by
NSAIDS, ETOH, smoking, stress
- erosions
autoimmune, loss of parietal cells and IF, H pylori, B12 def
- no erosions
immune mediated destruction of parietal cells in stomach
hypochlorhydria
- also caused by chronic gastritis and hoshimotos thyroiditis, Addison’s
H. pylori predisposes ___
adenocarcinoma
compare gastric and duodenal ulcers
gastric: burning post-eating, better antacid, milk
duodenal: burning epigastric 1-3 hours after eating. Better eating, antacids
compare jejunum and ileum
ileum is longer, so has more blood flow, etc.
jejunum is shorter and less blood flow and lymphatic drainage, but there is more digestion going on.
where do mesenteries originate from
post abdominal wall
what could ileus or intususseption in adults be a sign of?
ischemic infarctive or metastatic cancer
involuntary smooth muscle
GI
resp
urinary
genital
what happens to muscle layers when you get to colon
lose layers of smooth muscle and have teniae coli: longitudinal bands that run length of colon to keep feces moving forward without peristalsis.
internal anal vs external anal sphincter
- internal is smooth muscle and responds to stretch, autonomic control
- external is striated muscle pudendal nerve and cognitive activity
iliocecal junction
end of ileum
cecum (appendix)
where is diverticulitis most common?
sigmoid colon
like appendicitis but on the left side
familial polyposis have increased risk for ___
colorectal cancer
Crohns vs UC
Crohns: skip lesions, more blood, more pain, fistulas
UC: more diarrhea, only rectum or continuous with whole colon
acute pancreatitis
abd pain, heavy alcohol use, autodigestion by proteases and lipase, elastases digest vessel walls, necrotic fat cells
lab: increase in amylase and lipase
acute liver failure
overwhelm liver with toxins
fulminant hep
go into kidney failure too
