Gi 2 Flashcards
What are the 3 main functions of the stomach?
Temporary storage of ingested material
Production of Chyme (Mechanical digestion and mixing)
*Meter delivery of chyme to duodenum
The following are functions of the ______:
Temporary storage of ingested material
Production of Chyme (Mechanical digestion and mixing)
*Meter delivery of chyme to duodenumPartially sterilize meal
Initiates protein digestion (Chemical Digestion)
Produce Specialized Secretions
-HCl acid
-Pepsinogen
-Intrinsic factor
-Mucus
-Hormones/Paracrines
Stomach
What are the 3 structural portions of the stomach?
Fundus, body, and pylorus
What are the 2 functional portions of the stomach?
Orad and caudad portion
What structural part of the stomach secretes mucous, pepsinogen, and HCl?
Body
What are the 4 stages of gastric motility?
- Receptive relaxation
- Peristalsis (trituration/homogenization)
- Emptying (pyloric sphincter)
- Migrating Motility Complex (MMC)
Accommodate the volume of the mealReduce pressure increases preventing gastric reflux and premature gastric emptying
- Receptive relaxation
Chyme production
Trituration: Mix ingested nutrients with gastric secretions, breakdown large particles and increase SA for digestion
- Peristalsis (trituration/homogenization)
≈ 200 kcal/hr released into small intestine
Important not to overload Small Intestine
- Emptying (pyloric sphincter)
Sweep ingested solids that cannot be digested out of stomach and through intestinal tract
Occurs during fastingTakes approximately 90 min to go from stomach to colon
- Migrating Motility Complex (MMC)
_____ is Initiated by:-stretch of gastric or duodenal wall-protein or fat in duodenum (CCK)
Gastric Receptive Relaxation
______functions: Accommodates increased volume of food and slows emptying.
Gastric Receptive Relaxation
Generated by pacemaker cells (Interstitial Cells of Cajal) located in GI smooth muscle
Smooth muscle cells undergo spontaneous phases of depolarizations and repolarizations = slow waves or Basic Electrical Rhythm (BER) of stomach
Frequency = 3/minute
Gastric Peristalsis/Trituration
______ functions:
Acts to mix and break down (triturate) gastric contents (Retropulsion)
Regulate Gastric emptying
Peristaltic wave forces chyme through pyloric sphincter
Causes pyloric sphincter to contract reducing volume released to Small Intestine.
Gastric Peristalsis/Trituration
What are the 3 things the rate of gastric emptying is influenced by?
Solid vs liquid
Nutrient content
Force of gastric contractions
On average:50% of stomach contents emptied ___ to ____ hours
2.5 to 3 hours
Total emptying of the stomach ___ to ____ hours
4 to 5 hours
Total emptying of the small intestine ____ to ____ hours
3 to 5 hours
Transit through the colon ___ to ____ hours
8 to 15 hours
Factors that increase force of antral contractions ______ Gastric emptying
Increase gastric emptying
What are the 2 things that increase force of antral contractions that increase gastric emptying?
Gastrin and Distension of stomach
Factors that decrease force of antral contractions _______ Gastric emptying
Decrease gastric emptying
What is the one thing that decreases force of antral contractions that decrease gastric emptying?
Contents of Duodenum
_________ = hormones secreted by duodenum in response to nutrients and acid in chyme.
Enterogastrones
What are the 3 enterogastrones?
- CCK
- Secretin
- GIP
What enterogastrone is secreted in response to fat and protein?
CCK
What enterogastrone is secreted in response to acid?
Secretin
What enterogastrone is secreted in response to carbs?
GIP
Occurs in between meals (fasting state) approximately every 90 minutes
Intervals of strong propulsive contractions
Sweep stomach and small intestine of indigestible material
Intrinsic to ENS and involves hormone Motilin.
Continue until meal ingested.
Migrating Motility Complex (MMC)
______ gland: secretes into duct
Exocrine gland
______ gland: secretes into blood
Endocrine gland
______ gland:
Exocrine Gland
Produce gastric juice
Variety of cell types and secretions
Gastric gland
_____ gland:
Abundant Mucus-secreting cells
Hormones that regulate gastric function
Pyloric Gland (Antral)
______ gland:
Abundant Parietal and Chief cells
Oxyntic Gland (Corpus)
The parietal cell secretes _____ and reabsorbs _____
Secretes HCl and reabsorbs HCO3
Oxyntic cells are activated by what 3 things?
gastrin, histamine, and acetylcholine
Oxyntic cells are inhibited by what thing?
Somatostatin
Oxyntic cells secrete what 2 things?
2L/day of HCl
Intrinsic Factor
