What is the intestinal phase of digestion?
Initiated by entry of chyme from the stomach into the duodenum.** Influenced by size of bolus, particle size, and macronutrient composition**. 🌟
Reflex response to 4 things: 🌟
distention, low pH, osmolarity, and digestive products.
What are the responses of the intestinal phase of digestion?
How does a meal digest in the stomach? (think entry and departure)
- Bolus: small particles, emulsion
- Triglycerides: trigs, monoglycerides, FFA
- Proteins: protein, peptides, some amino
- Starch: Starch, oligosaccharides
What increases gastric emptying?
Gastric distention->empty rate is proportional to size of meal
What is gastric emptying inhibited/slowed by ⭐️
- Entry of chyme into duodenum (duodenal
distention) - Fat, protein, cations (electrolytes)
- Acidity (pH < 3.5) in duodenum
- Hypo/hyper-osmotic chyme in duodenum
- Solid food more inhibitory than liquids.
What are some hormones/enterogastrones that might inhibit or slow gastric emptying ⭐️
cholecystokinin (CCK), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), Gastric Inhibitory Peptide (GIP), somatostatin, secretin
Inhibits the caudal (or “forward) motion of the contents of chyme
How does gastric emptying from teh stomach to duodenum trigger feedback?
Gastric emptying rate depends on what?
macronutrient composition, osmolality, and caloric
What are some implications of gastric emptying?
considerations for diabetics, foods effects on drug absorption, metabolism, restoring hydration status (with isotonic solution)
What is the osmolality of meal with hypertonic meal and hypo? where does this occur mostly?
Intestinal motility is coordinated by what? What is is modified by?
- Intestinal motility is coordinated by the enteric nervous system (ENS)
- modified by long and short reflexes, neurotransmitters and hormones
What happens during and shortly after meal with intestinal motility? ⭐️
hyme is mixed by segmenting movements of intestinal wall (both directions; circular muscles)
After food is digested and absorbed, segmentation is replaced by what? ⭐️
by peristalsis moving undigested material from small intestine into large intestine (one way; longitudinal muscles).
Circular and longitudinal contractions
Regulated by what?
Myenteric plexus (part of ENS) (aka Auerbach plexus)
Peristalsis vs segmentation
Circular sm vs longitudinal sm
slide 13
Interstitial Cells of Cajal (ICC) generate what?
generate GI slow waves (aka: BER; basal electrical rhythm)
Pacemaker ICC links what?
nervous system to smooth muscle
What is happening in fed state with small intestine?
Segmental Contractions
* slows food propulsion, mixes to expose chyme to enzymes and GI surface
Peristaltic activity (propels food) replaces
segmentation when? ⭐️
completeion of absorption
What is the motilin candidate hormone?
- secreted from M cells
- MMCs appear when in fasted state.
- Motilin receptor agonists stimulate intestinal peristalsi
_ alter amplitude and duration of MMCs
Cathartics (laxatives) alter amplitude and duration of MMCs
Motilin is assoicated with _
- MMCs
- Plasma motilin peaks in fasting (interdigestive period). Note motilin is released cyclically every 80–120 min to induce contraction of the MMCs from the stomach to the ileum
vili and microvili?
- By projecting into the lumen, the Villi increases the surface area for absorption of nutrients.
- Microvilli (aka brush Border, 100nm) fringe the villi to further increase surface area
What is in the villus that is part of our lympathic system and imp for fats?
lacteal
What are the barriers within the paracellular pathway between intestinal epithelial cells
tight jxns
What happens when barrier function is messed up?
Disruption -> hyper-permeability (“leaky gut”) and potentially autoimmune or neurological disorders
What are the different anatomical features that are increases SA in small intestine
What are the 3 sub phases of intestinal digestion? + what they are doing in each
