Pringle maneuver to control bleeding
Nerve plexi of GI tract
Meissner’s-submucosa
Auerbach’s-muscularis externa
Wave frequencies of GI tract
stomach-3/min
duodenum-12/min
ileum-8/min
Location of Peyer’s patch
ileum
N/V
postprandial stabbing epigastric pain
malnutrition
SMA syndrome
SMA entraps 3rd portion of duodenum
intestinal obstruction
Collateral circulations of GI tract (4)
Sup epigastric (internal thoracic) w/ inf epigastric (external iliac) Sup pancreaticoduodenal (celiac) w/ inf (SMA) middle colic (SMA) w/ L colic (IMA) Sup rectal (IMA w/ inf rectal (internal iliac)
Appendix development
re-entry after herniation in URQ
drops into LRQ
can remain in URQ and cause pain
Portal system anastomoses (3)
L gastric w/ esophageal
paraumbilical w/ sup/inf epigastric
sup rectal w/ mid/inf rectal
Drainage above and below pectinate/dentate line
above-deep nodes (para-aortic)
below-sup inguinal nodes
Liver zones
1-periportal/impacted by viral hepatitis
2-intermediate
3-pericentral v./impacted by ischemia & toxic injury (has CYP450) and alcoholic hepatitis
Jaundice
dark urine
light stools
Biliary stenosis
Bilious vomiting
double bubble on radiograph
Duodenal atresia
failure to recanalize
Femoral region structures
Lat to medial
Nerve/Artery/Vein/Lymph (NAVeL)
nerve is not in femoral sheath, others are
Bug with dental plaques
Strep mutans
makes acid to demineralize bone
Carb absorption in GI
Glc/Gal via SGLT
Frc via Glut-5
then Glut-2 from cell into blood for all
Role of ApoE
liver recognition/uptake of chylomicrons
Role of ApoCII
activates LPL
allows uptake of TG’s in cells
Respiratory distress
trouble eating in newborn
hourglass stomach
diaphragmatic hernia
Young male with bulge near femoral triangle
lateral to inf epigastric artery
Indirect hernia
young boys
failure of processus vaginalis closure
covered by spermatic fascia
Bulge in lower abd wall
55 y/o man
medial to inf epigastric artery
Direct hernia
Hesselbach’s triangle
through external inguinal ring only
Increases gastric motility/H+ secretion/gastric mucosa growth
Gastrin (G cells of antrum)
stimulated by distention/vagal
especially Phe and Trp aa’s
Increases pancreatic secretions/gallbladder contraction
Decreased gastric emptying
Cholecystokinin (CCK) (I cells of duodenum/jejunum)
increased by FA’s and AA’s
acts on neural muscarinics
Increases bicarb/bile secretion
Decreases gastric acid secretion
Secretin (S cells of duodenum)
increased by acid/FA’s in duodenum
Decreases gastric acid/pepsinogen/pancreatic secretion/insulin & glucagon release
Somatostatin (D cells of pancreas/GI mucosa)
increased by acid
inhibitory/antigrowth hormone effects
Increases insulin release
Decreases H+ secretion
GIP (K cells duodenum/jejunum)
increased by FA’s/AA’s/Glc
Increases water/electrolyte secretion
relaxes smooth m. of GI
VIP (parasympathetic ganglia in sphincters)
increased by distention/vagus
Impact of VIPoma
watery diarrhea
hypokalemia
achloryhdria
Produces migrating motor complexes
Motilin
increased in fasting state
Pepsinogen characteristics
secreted by Chief cells
activated by H+
Causes of increased gastric H+ secretion (3)
histamine
ACh
gastrin
Causes of decreased gastric H+ secretion (4)
somatostatin
GIP
prostaglandin
secretin
Pathway for gastrin stimulation of H+ secretion
G cells secrete gastrin
gastrin causes histamine release from ECL cells
histamine stimulates parietal cell H+ secretion
Impact of NSAIDs on stomach
Decreased COX1 causes less PGE2
less bicarb secretion, more H+/ulcers
Trypsinogen activation
converted to trypsin by enteropeptidase (in duodenum)
trypsin then breaks down more trypsinogen and other peptides
autodigestion prevention: bicarb/trypsin inhibitors in pancreas
B12 absorption
needs intrinsic factor (from stomach)
absorbed in ileum (along with bile acids)
Rate limiting step of bile acid synthesis
cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase enzyme
Cause of achalasia
loss of Auerbach's (myenteric) plexus can be secondary to Chagas/Crest syndrome lower esophageal sphincter cannot relax bird's beak on barium swallow assc with esophageal SSC
Assc with esophagitis
CMV (linear ulcers)
Candida (white pseudomembrane)
HSV-1 (punched out ulcers)
Mucosal lacerations at LES
