Feb19 M2-Intestinal Motor Function Flashcards
SI motor activity
- effective mixing
- slow propulsion
BER in SI charact (electrical control activity)
- f fixed for certain region
- origin is ICCs*****
- DOESN’T CAUSE contractions
ERA charact
- triggered by stretch or Ca
- spikes freq on BER plateau. proportional to magnitude of stimuus
- max freq is max freq of BER
how action potentials travel in SI (and stomach)
gap-junctions (ICCs and muscle fibers)
intrinsinc freq of BER in diff SI regions and colon
duod: 12 per min
jejunum: 10.5-12
ileum: 10.5
colon: 4-6 per min
proximal vs distal SI peristalsis
- f of BER higher
- SM more excitable
- thicker SM
- frequency and amplitude of contractions greater in proximal SI
(EXAM) 2 types of contractions in SI
segmentation and peristalsis
segmentation def + why exists
rings of circular contraction. to slow down and mix (bouncing back)
peristalsis def
1 propagating circulating ring.
segmentation charact
- stimulus is DISTENSION (not automatic)
- CIRCULAR only
- ANS, hormones and ENS modul long distance
segmentation what exactly modulates it (what structure)
Auerbach’s plexus
consequence of issue in segmentation
diarrhea (bc segmentation offers resistance)
peristalsis charact (+ how differs from segmentation)
- infrequent
- irregular
- SHORT DISTANCE
- WEAK
trigger of peristalsis
stretching (like for segmentation): local reflexes against stretching + circ and longit interaction
muscles behind bolus in peristalsis
circ contracts
longit relaxes
