Exam 1 Choudhury Review Flashcards
smooth muscle
one nucleus
unstriated
dense bodies present**
no troponin
has calmodulin
mechanical connections
dense bodies
electrical connections
gap junctions
varicosities
axon swelling at each contact point
smooth muscle innervation
both S and PS
lots of receptors for NT and hormones
multi unit smooth m.
one nerve to each nerve cell
-finer motor control
single unit smooth m.
one nerve to many muscle cells
-in visceral smooth m.
coordinated contraction
graded slow wave
action potential possible
-not always cause AP
interstitial cells of cajal
pacemaker of GI
-between long and circular muscles of muscularis externa layer
generate slow wave potentials
slow wave potential
oscillation without contraction or reaching threshold
depolarization of GI tract
slow Ca channels with slow inactivation
always ongoing cycle of contraction**
action potential spike
Ca influx and K eflux
3 major pathways to increase Ca
both extracellular and intracellular Ca
Ca rushes in from extracellular
binds to SR and releases intracellular Ca (CICR)
1 voltage gated
2 SR (voltage independent)
3 store-operated Ca channels (SOCs)
-also voltage independent
pharmacomechanical coupling
hormones and neurotransmitters can initiate increased Ca via G-protein coupled receptors (voltage independent)
Ca2+ excitation contraction coupling
phosphorylation of myosin in thick filament
- uses less ATP
- sustained contraction
Ca2+ binding calmodulin
forms CaM - activates MLCK
MLCK phosphorylates myosin
increased ATPase activity
latch state
maintain tension of smooth m. without fatigue
-low ATP consumption
intrinsic nerves in GI?
submucosal and myenteric
S and PS innervation
GI hormones
gastrin, secretin, CCK, GIP
-paracrines - somatostatin and histamine
extrinsic neves in GI?
autonomic nerves
Ach
parasympathetic
increased causes:
salvation, lacrimation, urination, contraction, GIT motility, defecation
decreased causes:
dry mouth, urine retention, constipation
increased parasympathetic activity
promote digestive and absorptive processes
increases motility and secretions
4 GI regulatory mechanisms
autonomic smooth m.
extrinsic nerves
intrinsic nerve plexuses
GI hormones
sympathetic innervation of GI
promotes decreased motility and secretion, increased sphincter constriction
enteric nervous system
divisions of ANS
-PS and S to GI tract
intrinsic neural control
myenteric plexus
auerbachs - between long and circ muscle layers of muscularis externa
submucusal plexus
meissners - submucosa
auerbachs plexus
motility of GI smooth muscle
meissners plexus
secretion and blood flow
all GI hormones?
peptides
classification of GI hormones
endocrine
paracrine
neurocrine
5 GI peptide hormones
secretin gastrin CCK GIP motilin
candidate GI peptide hormones
pancreatic polypeptide
neurotensin
substance P
secretin
increased acid HCl is stimulus
increases pancreatic bicarbonate secretion
gastrin
increased by histamine
CCK
increased pancreatic enzyme secretion
GIP
inhibits gastrin secretion
-increases insulin release
motilin
increases upper GI mobility (during fasting)
gastrin secretion
after a meal
- increase in gastric acid secretion
- antrum and duodenum
duodenum/jejunum secretions
secretin, CCK, GIP, motilin
histamine
paracrine
AcH
non-peptide neurocrine
natures antacid
secretin
secretin affects
released response to decreased pH
more pancreas and liver bicarbonate
decreased gastric emptying
increased pancreas growth
decreased gastrin release
gastrin affects
from G cells in gastric mucosa, duodenum and pancreas
-increased in response to high protein, Ca, decaf, wine
increases parietal cell HCl secretion directly and through histamine (from ECL cells)
increased gastric mobility
increased acid has negative feedback
increased GI mucosa growth
inhibitors of gastrin release
secretin and glucagon
CCK affects
released duodenum and jejunum increased response to protein and fats increased gallbladder contractions - increased bile increases pancreatic bicarbonate increases pancreatic growth
GIP affects
insulinotropic hormone
increased response to fat, protein, and GLUCOSE
decreases gastrin
increases insulin
motilin affects
every 90 seconds
in upper small intestine due to fasting or acid/fat
MMC
increased gastric and upper GI mobility
CCK vs. gastrin?
can activate eachothers receptors
enteroglucagon affects
increased with fat
pancreatic alpha cells
increase insulin and gastric secretion
delay gastric emptying
pancreatic polypeptide affects
increased with protein, fat, glucose
decreased pancreatic bicarb/enzymes
peptide YY
increased with fat
decrease gastric secretion and emptying
decrease intestine mobility
substance P
increase intestinal motlity and gallbladder contraction
neurocrine
neurotensin
increases glycogenolysis and decreased insulin and increase glucagon
neurocrine
VIP
relax intestine smooth m. and vascular smooth m.
vasodilates - NO
bomberin
vagal stimulation
increases gastrin
enkephalin
increased opiate receptors and sphincter contractions
treat diarrhea***
somatostatin affects
decrease gastrin and decrease acid
histamine
ECL cells
increase with gastrin
increase parietal cell HCl secretion
H2 receptor blocker
antacid
-blocks histamine receptors on parietal cells
zollinger ellison syndrome
non-beta cell tumor of pancreas or duodenum
increased gastrin
-ulcers, diarrhea, hypokalemia
aka gastrinoma
need high protein meal, IV Ca and secretin infusion
pancreatic cholera
increased VIP
-cancer of pancreatic islet cells
increase diarrhea
give fluids and electrolytes
saliva
