Gastrointestinal Flashcards
is usually excitatory on the functions of the GI tract.
■ is carried via the vagus and pelvic nerves.
■ Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers synapse in the myenteric and submucosalplexuses.
■ Cell bodies in the ganglia of the plexuses then send information to the smoothmuscle, secretory cells, and endocrine cells of the GI tract.
What nervous system type?
Parasympathetic!
occurs when gastrin is secreted by non–β-cell tumors of the pancreas.
Zollinger ellison syndrome or gastrinoma
Stimulates contraction of the gallbladder and simultaneously causes relaxation ofthe sphincter of Oddi for secretion of bile.
Stimulates pancreatic enzyme secretion.
Potentiates secretin-induced stimulation of pancreatic HCO3– secretion.
Stimulates growth of the exocrine pancreas.
Inhibits gastric emptying.
CCK
only GI hormone that is released in response to fat, protein, and carbo-hydrate.
GIP
Pacemaker og GI muscle contraction
Interstitial cells of Cajal
is a vagovagal reflex that is initiated by distention of the stomach and is abolished byvagotomy.
receptive relaxation
Even during fasting, contractions (the “migrating myoelectric complex”) occur at 90-minute intervals and clear the stomach of residual food. What is the mediator for this phenomenon?
Motilin
Cell that secretes HCl and intrinsic factor
Parietal cells
Secretes pepsinogen?
Chief cells in the body of stomach
secreted by the I cells of the duodenum in response to small peptides, aminoacids, and fatty acids in the duodenal lumen.
■ acts on the pancreatic acinar cells to increase enzyme secretion (amylase, lipases,proteases).
■ potentiates the effect of secretin on ductal cells to stimulate HCO3– secretion.
CCK
primary bile acids?
cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid)
