BRS Physiology Flashcards
layers of the GI tract
epithelial cell Lamina propria muscularis mucosae submucosal plexus circular muscle myenteric plexus longitudinal muscle serosa
ELMS CMLS
vagus nerve innervates
stomach, upper large intestine, pancreas, esophagus
pelvic nerve innervates the
lower large intestine, rectum, anus
myenteric plexus (auerbach plexus)
motility of GI smooth muscle
submucosal (meissner plexus)
controls secretion and blood flow
actions of gastrin
stimulates H+ release by parietal cells
stimulates growth of gastric mucosa
gastrin secreted by what cells
G cells of the gastric antrum
stimuli for gastrin secretion
small peptides and amino acids in lumen of stomach
distension of stomach
vagal stimulation, mediated by GRP
inhibition of gastrin secretion
H+ in the lumen of the stomach: negative feedback
somatostatin: Gi
Actions of CCK
1) HCO3- release from pancreas potentiation with secretin
2) growth of Exocrine pancreas
3) pancreatic enzyme secretion
4) inhibits gastric emptying
5) contraction of the gallbladder and relaxation of sphincter of Oddi
HEPIC
cells that release CCK
released from I cells of duodenal and jejunal muscosa
stimuli for release of CCK
small peptides and amino acids
fatty acids and monoglycerides
(no triglycerides)
Secretin is homologous to ____
glucagon
actions of secretin
coordinate to reduce amount of H+ in the lumen of SI
1) stimulates pancreatic HCO3- secretion and increases growth of exocrine pancreas
2) stimulates HC)3- and H20 secretion by liver and increases bile production
3) inhibits H+ secretion by gastric parietal cells
secretin from what cells
S cells of duodenum
stimuli for secretin release
H+ in duodenum
Fatty acids in lumen of duodenum
GIP is homologous to
secretin and glucagon
actions of GIP
1) stimulates insulin release
2) inhibits H+ secretion by gastric parietal cells
Stimuli for release of GIP and where secreted
secreted by duodenum and jejunum
fat, protein, carbs,
FA,AA,oral glucose
GLP-1 action
binds pancreatic B-cells and stimulates insulin secretion
somatostatin inhibits what
is inhibited by?
1) inhibits release of all GI hormones, inhibits gastric H+ secretion
2) inhibited by vagal stimulation
histamine action
increases H+ secretion directly
potentions effects of gastrin and vagal stimulation
VIP homologous to?
secretin
VIP action
relaxation of GI smooth muscle including lower esophageal sphincter
stimulates pancreatic HCO3- section, inhibits gastric H+ secretion
GRP (bombesin) action and released from
released from vagus nerves that innervate G cells
stimulates gastrin release from G cells
Enkephalins secreted from
secreted from nerves in mucosa and SM of GI tract
enkephalins action
stimulate contraction of GI smooth muscle
inhibit intestinal secretion of fluid and electrolytes
Satiety center location
ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus
feeding center
lateral hypothalamic area
anorexigenic neurons release
POMC and decrease appetite
orexigenic neurons release
neuropeptide Y and stimulate appetite
leptin
secreted by fat cells, decrease appetite
ghrelin
secreted by gastric cells, increase appetite
location of highest freq slow wave contraction and low
high is in duodenum
low is in stomach
achalasia
lower esophageal sphincter does not relax during swallowing and food accumulates in the esophagus
orad region of stomach
fundus and proximal body
contains oxyntic glands and responsible for receiveing ingested meal
caudad region of stomach
distal body and antrum
responsible for contactions that mix food and propel it into the duodenum
what is the regulator of contractions every 90 mintues even under fasting conditions
motilin
when is the rate of gastric emptying the fastes
when the stomach contents are isotonic
