Q

BER in SI charact (electrical control activity)

A

  • origin is ICCs*****
  • DOESN’T CAUSE contractions

Q

ERA charact

A
  • triggered by stretch or Ca
  • spikes freq on BER plateau. proportional to magnitude of stimuus
  • max freq is max freq of BER

Q

proximal vs distal SI peristalsis

A
  • f of BER higher
  • SM more excitable
  • thicker SM
  • frequency and amplitude of contractions greater in proximal SI

Q

segmentation charact

A
  • stimulus is DISTENSION (not automatic)
  • CIRCULAR only
  • ANS, hormones and ENS modul long distance

Q

muscles ahead of bolus in peristalsis

A

circ relaxes

longit contracts

17
Q

peristalsis and segmentation: what is necessary for them to work

A

integrity of ENS

18
Q

modulation of peristalsis

A

ANS, hormones (vagus, Ach, PSS)

19
Q

ileocecal sphincter charact

A

high P, normally closed. opens when ileum distended. closes harder when cecum distended

20
Q

roles of colon

A

mixing and abso of water

21
Q

rectum fct

A

storage

22
Q

colon time to transit vs intestines

A
intestines = 6 hours
colon = 50-60 hours
23
Q

freq of BER in colon

A

5-12 in ascending
8-12 TC
6-8 descending
17 sigmoid

24
Q

segmentation and peristalsis in colon: trigger

A

always there, governed by irregular BER

25
Q

3 reflexes for intestine and colon motility

A
  1. gastrocolic reflex and 2. gastroileal (when stomach full)

3. ileocolic: food in ileum = feel need to go to the bathroom

26
Q

interdigestive period charact

A

cyclic myoelectric activity. intervals of 90 min from stomach to ileum

27
Q

MMC (migrating myoelectric complex) phase 1 charact

A

60 min. no BER, no ERA.

28
Q

MMC phase 2

A

20 minutes. irregular ERA and contractions

29
Q

MMC phase 3

A

10 minutes regular spikes of contraction (ERA) ring moving down GI tract

30
Q

what initiates MMC

A

ENS. (CNS? ANS? gut peptides? too)

31
Q

what propagates MMC

A

ENS + MODULATION by ANS and gut peptides

32
Q

what interrupts MMC

A

meal intake

33
Q

MMC 2 fcts

A
  1. housekeeping and prevent bacterial overgrowth

2. non digestible particles clearance

34
Q

constipation on bristol stool chart

A

1-2

35
Q

IBS def

A

dx of exclusion: chronic abd pain and discomfort, high visceral sensitivity, constipation vs diarrhea dominant IBS

36
Q

bleeding in IBS

A

none

37
Q

3 possible causes of IBS

A
  • ICC disorder
  • serotonin pathway problem
  • post infectious IBS (surgery of H pylori)
38
Q

constipation IBS rx

A

anti cramps meds

39
Q

diarrhea IBS rx

A

rule out bacterial overgrowth. anxiety and psychological interventions
