Gastric Diseases Flashcards
what gland is in the cardiac region of the stomach?
mucous cells
what two glands are in the antrum of the stomach
mucous and G cells
what twoglands are in the fundus of the stomach?
parietal and chief cells
where does H pylori live in the stomach?
in the layer of mucus adherent to the gastric pit cells
what stain is used to see H pylori?
silver stain
acute and chronic inflammation lead to what two types of stomach injury respectively?
acute gastritis and chronic gastritis
necrosis in the stomach leads to what stomach disorder?
peptic ulcer disease
chronic inflammation of the stomach can lead to what two types of sever stomach issues
gastric lymphomas and gastric adenocarcinoma
list the four etiologies of acute gastritis
drugs
infection
complication of another disease
mucosal damage
what is acute gastritis from a burn called?
curling ulcer
what is a brain trauma induced acute gastritis called?
cushing ulcer
how can brain trauma lead to acute gastritis?
increased activity of the vagus nerve leads to increased gastric acid secretion
what cell is mainly involved in acute gastritis?
PMNs
what are the three stages of acute gastritis from mild to severe
acute inflammation of mucosa
necrosis
hemorrhage
what is a common drug that causes acute gastritis?
NSAIDS
what are the two common causes of chronic gastritis?
h pylori
autoimmune
what cells are in charge of chronic gastritis?
lymphocytes, macrophages and plasma cells
chronic gastritis has a risk of developing into what?
metaplasia…cancer
what happens to glands and the rugae of the stomach in chronic gastritis?
they atrophy from the necrosis and they are become less prominent
if metaplasia occurs in chronic gastritis, what does it become?
simple columnar with absorptive and goblet cells
how is autoimmune chronic gastritis inherited?
autosomal dominant
explain how autoimmune chronic gastritis happens?
auto antibodies against parietal cells leads to chronic inflammation and destruction of the parietal cells…gland atrophy
in autoimmune chronic gastritis…if the parietal cells are destroyed then what is the acid level called?
hypochlorhidria or achlorhidria
in autoimmune chronic gastritis the parietal cells are destroyed….what do they secrete that is important for RBCs and what can this lead to?
secrete intrinsic factor for B12 absorption…without that you get macrocytic anemia which is called pernicious anemia
