Q

Distal stomach (antrum) wave activity

A

1.Waves of peristalsis begins at the junction of the proximal and distal areas moving towards the pylorus
2.as waves approach the pylorus, the pylorus constricts and some of the ingesta is pushed back
3.some finely ground and/or liquified material is pushed through the pylorus and allowed to enter the duodenum
4.between contractions, no gross movements

Q

Antral contraction

A

21
Q

Fats and amino acids in stomach

A

-enteroendocrine cells in upper duodenum release cholecystokinin (CCK) when they sense fats or amino acids
-inhibit gastric motility and cause pyloric sphincter to contract more tightly
**Fats and proteins remain in stomach and send satiety signals back to brain whereas carbohydrates do not stay in stomach

22
Q

Stomach motility particle sizes

A

-larger particles stay in stomach for longer period
- liquid leaves the stomach at a faster rate than particulates

23
Q

Filling stage in stomach

A

-volume of food can be accommodated without an increase in pressure
-no or minimal contractions

24
Q

Motility stage in stomach

A

-phase of slow tonic contractions of the fundus and increased peristalsis to allow mixing
-tenderized food than propelled into pylorus by contractions that become forceful in the antrum/distal stomach
-pyloric contractions cause some food to be moved retrograde for more mixing and some enter the duodenum

25
Q

Pressure pump

A

-fundus and proximal corpus
-tonic muscle type and tonic contractions
-cajal cells absent
-if inhibited, slow gastric emptying

26
Q

Peristaltic pump

A

-distal corpus and proximal antrum
-phasic muscle and phasic and peristaltic contractions
-Cajal cells present
-when inhibited, impaired mixing and slow gastric emptying of solids

27
Q

Grinder

A

-located in terminal antrum and pyloric sphincter, and pylorus
-both phasic and tonic muscle, and strong phasic nearly simultaneous contractions
-Cajal cells present
-when inhibited, impaired grinding and duodeno-gastric reflux
-when excited, outlet obstruction

28
Q

Parasympathetic activity during digestive period

A

-immediately: increased inhibitory/reduced excitatory
-Later: reduced inhibitory/increased excitatory

29
Q

Hormonal activity during digestive period

A

-release of leptin, cholecystokinin (CCK), and GLP-1

30
Q

Fundus during digestive period

A

-immediately: increased compliance
-Later: decreased compliance

31
Q

Antrum during digestive period

A

-immediately: reduced phasic contractions
-later: increased phasic contractions

32
Q

Pylorus during digestive period

A

-immediately: contraction
-later: relaxation

33
Q

Interdigestive period

A

-during digestion, large food particles are often retained and never digested to the point that they can escape the stomach during normal contractions
-Special mechanism=Migrating Myoelectric complex (MMC) OR interdigestive motility complex used to empty fasting contents and/or larger particles from the stomach to the distal small intestine
**pyloric sphincter also relaxes as a strong wave of peristalsis occurs in antrum forcing the less digestible material into duodenum

34
Q

Migrating Myoelectric Complex (MMC) phases

A

-Phase I- only slow waves, no spikes
-Phase II- intermittent spikes and some smooth muscle contraction
-Phase III- the big sweep; intense burst of spikes with each slow wave= strong contractions moving all solids and liquids into duodenum and quickly into the large intestine
-Phase IV- inhibition of contractile activity that merges with the next phase of digestive period activity

35
Q

MMC patterns in carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores

A

-carnivores: MMC stopped during feeding, feed pattern like phase II
-herbivores: cyclic pattern uninterrupted during feeding
-omnivores: cycle is dependent on the diet

36
Q

Control of MMC

A

-relatively unknown
-does require neural and endocrine inputs

37
Q

Other name for MMC

A

-interdigestive motility complex

38
Q

Interdigestive phase I

A

-increased inhibitory parasympathetic
-no pressure in fundus
-reduced phasic contractions in antrum

39
Q

Interdigestive phase II

A

-reduced inhibitory parasympathetic
-ghrelin release
-increased tonic pressure in fundus
-increased phasic contractions in antrum
-relaxation of pylorus

40
Q

Interdigestive phase III

A

-non vagal, peripheral neuro-hormonal
-motilin released
-increased tonic pressure in fundus
-migrating motor complex in antrum
-relaxation in pylorus

41
Q

Interdigestive phase IV

A

-increased inhibitory parasympathetic
-increased compliance in fundus
-reduced phasic contractions in antrum
-contraction in pylorus

42
Q

Inhibition of gastric emptying

A

-enterogastric reflux (neural mechanism)- depending on chemical composition of digesta
-enterogastrone (hormonal) mechanism- responds to fat and amino acids in the duodenum (via CCK)
**mechanisms can inhibit emptying when there are irritating, acidic or hypertonic contents in duodenum

43
Q

Neural control of gastric motility

A

-autonomic nerves regulate gastric motility (vagus parasympathetic nerve with inhibitory and excitatory effects)
>sympathetic nerves do not have an important role in physiological regulation of gastric motility

44
Q

Inhibitory vagal motor circuit

A

-consists of preganglionic cholinergic neurons and postganglionic inhibitory neurons in the myenteric plexus
>neurons released nitric oxide, ATP and peptide vasoactive intestinal peptide. Connected to anorexigenic neural pathways

45
Q

Excitatory vagal motor circuits

A

-distinct gastric excitatory preganglionic cholinergic neurons in the dorsal nucleus of the vagus nerve ion the medulla AND postganglionic excitatory cholinergic neurons in the myenteric plexus
>smooth muscle is final target
>connected to orexigenic neural pathways

46
Q

Tonic contraction locations

A

-smooth muscle of the pressure pump, fundus, and proximal corpus

47
Q

Phasic contraction locations

A

-muscles of the peristaltic pump, distal corpus and the proximal antrum
*paired with interstitial cells of cajal

48
Q

Interstitial cells of cajal slow wave rate

A

3-5 per min

49
Q

CCK release

A

-released from neuroendocrine cells of duodenum by stimuli such as HCl, amino acids and fatty acids
-works on multiple pathways including GLP-1

50
Q

GLP-1 release

A

-released from intestines stimulates vagal afferents
- multiple actions accounting for a strong inhibitory effect of GLP-1 on gastric motility

51
Q

A

-released from chief cells along with pepsin
-effect takes hours
-inhibition of feeding

52
