Q

compare jejunum and ileum

encephalopathy due to urea buildup because kidneys aren’t functioning

29
Q

cholestasis

A

prehepatic causes:end up with unconjugated bilirubin because liver can’t convert

blood supply to esophagus and stomach

to duodenum, small intestine, ascending colon, transverse colon

A

celiac

inf mesenteric

31
Q

what are the three blood supplies to stomach and what do they branch from?

A

Q

portal (venus) circulation

where does portal vein come from?

A

inf mesenteric vein drains through splenic veins

sup mesenteric meets splenic and they become portal vein

33
Q

where does short gastric vein drain?

A

right and left gastric veins drain into portal

short gastric into gastroepiploic that drain into sup mesenteric vein

34
Q

portal venus drainage fails with portal HTN because ____ and this leads to ____

what diseases cause this?

A

portal veins can’t drain which leads to ascites and engorgement form anastamotic areas.

any liver disease causes this and so does third trimester of pregnancy

35
Q

when are varices and hemerroids common?

A

pregnancy and liver malfunction

36
Q

what causes caput medusae

A

periumbilical veins which can’t drain in later pregnancy, portal HTN due to liver damage

37
Q

mucosa of stomach
submucosal plexus is there for
myenteric plexus is there for

A

longitudinal muscle is outer decreases length
inner circular muscle: decreases diameter

submucosal/meissners plexus for gland secretion
myenteric/auerbach’s plexus for smooth muscle contractions/motility

38
Q

histamine ____

G cells secrete ____

A

stimulates gastric H+

gastrin

39
Q

what do somatostatin and histamine do? What are they?

A

somatostatin: inhibits GI hormone release and acid secretion
histamine: stimulates gastric acid H+ secretion

  • both are paracrines
40
Q

what secretes CCK and what does it do?

A

secreted from I cells in duodenum and jejunum
stimulates contraction of gallbladder and relaxation of sphincter of oddi
increases pancreatic enzymes and bicarb secretion

41
Q

where is secretin secreted and what does it do?

A

secreted from S cells of duodenum
increases pancreatic and biliary bicarb secretion
decreases gastric acid secretion because stomach is empty

42
Q

where is GIP secreted and what does it do?

A

duodenum and jejunum

increases insulin secretion and decreases H+ secretion

43
Q

what stimulates the release of bile?

A

CCK from duodenum and jejunum

44
Q
  • what do chief cells secrete?
  • parietal cells
  • mucus cells
  • G cells
A
  • chief cells: pepsinogen
  • parietal cells: HCl and intrinsic factor (IF)
  • mucus cells: mucus
  • G cells: gastrin
45
Q
where are carbs digested?
amino acids
iron
vit B12
bile salts
fatty acids
lipids
proteins
A
carbs: duodenum and jejunum
amino acids: duodenum and jejunum
iron: duodenum
vit B12: terminal ileum
bile salts: terminal ileum
fatty acids: mycelized though entire sm intestine
lipids: sm intestine
proteins: sm intestine
46
Q

where is the common hepatic duct in relation to the common bile duct?

A

hepatic duct is above cystic duct and bile duct is below

47
Q

one organ that can mix arterial and venus blood

this blood is presented to

A

liver

hepatocytes

48
Q

kupfer cells

bile canaliculi

A

in liver - immune cells

produce bile

49
Q

what is bile created from?
what does bile do?
most bile is

A

from cholesterol (primary: cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid)
secondary: deoxycholic and lithocholic acids are converted from primary bile acids by bacteria
bile micelles fat
most bile is reabsorbed

50
Q

how do you hold on to bile?

why do you want to hold on to bile?

A

fiber

so that liver is forced to use more cholesterol to make more bile

51
Q

how are bile acids conjugated to form bile salts?

A

glycine and taurine

52
Q

urobilinogen and stercobilinogne

A

urobilinogen: reabsorbed and absorbed by kidneys and excreted as urobilin
stercobilinogen: stays in stool and gives it color

53
Q

rate limiting step in bile acid synthesis

A

hydroxly group introduced at carbon 7 by 7-alpha-hydroxylase

inhibited by cholic acid

54
Q

what type of hepatitis can lead to hepatic carcinoma?

which type is related to transfusions?

A

hep B

B and C

55
Q

liver cancer

what is it associated with?
