GI 3 Flashcards
what kind of neurons regulate GI function
ANS
Enteric nervous system
besides neurons, what else regulates GI function
Paracrine mediators (local cells from diffusion) Hormones (reach gut via blood)
what are the parasympa nuclei(and associated nerves) that supply to the Enteric nervous system
Vagal nucli( via Vagus Nerve) Sacral spinal cord (via pelvic nerve)
do both the sympathetic and parasympathetic supply to the enteric nervous system
Yes
what are the plexus’s assocaited with the enteric nervous system
Myenteric Plexus
Submucosal plexus
what part of the GI tract does the sympathetic have direct effect on asside from affecting it via the Enteric system
Blood vessels
what of the GI does the enteric system have an efect on
Smooth muscle
Secretory cells
Endocrine cells
Blood vessels
what level of the wall in the GI is the submucosal nerve plexus found
in the submucosa
what level of the wall in the GI is the myeneric nerve plexus found
Muscularis Exteerna
what do motor neurons of the ENS do
Muscle contraction
Gland function
what do Interneurons do in the ENS
regulate interactions between different layers of the GI tissues
what types of neurons are in the ENS
Sensory neurons
what types of receptors are found in the GI(used for reflexes
Mechanoreceptors
Osmoreceptors
Chemoreceptors
what initates reflex arcs of the GI tract
Distension of the wall
Chyme osmolarity
Chyme acidity
Chyme concentration
what does the long reflex of the GI involve
invovles the CNS (using afferent and efferent neurons from the GI walls)
- factors in sight, smell, taste
path of the long reflex of the GI
- stimulus in GI acts on receptors of GI walls
- afferent neurons to CNS from vagal sensory neurons
- efferent ANS (PNS or SNS)
- act on nerve plexus
- acts on smooth muscle or gland of GI wall
what does the the short reflex of the GI invovle
all that the long one does but lacks the afferent and efferent nerves from the CNS (CNS not invovled)
what types of hormones can act on the GI
peptides
neurotransmitter/neuroendocrine hormones
what are the 4 hormones that regulate digestion
Gastrin
Cholecystokinin (CCK)
secretin
Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic peptide
what is the CCK feedback look
CCK stimulated by fatty acid
CCK stimulates enzyme production of pancrease
enzyme production reduces CCK activation
Do hormones of GI act on only 1 type of cell
No, work on multiple
what cells can CCK activate
stimulate Pancreas, liver, gallbladder,
inhibit stomach emptying
do each hormone of GI act along
can be synergistic (one can poentiate the other)
what are the phases of GI control
Cephalic Phase
Gastric Phase
Intestinal
what nerve fibers stimulate the Cephalic phase
Parasympa nerve fibers affecting the ENS
what initiates the cephalic phase
When recetpors in head are stimulated
what is involved in control of the gastric phase
short and long neural reflexes
Gastrin
what all causes the gastric phase
Distension
Acidity
Amino acids
Peptides
what is involved in control of the intestinal phase of Gi control
Short and long neural reflexes
Secretin
CCK
GIP
what causes the Intestinal phase
Distesion
Acidity
Osmolarity
Various digestive products
what is the immune function of stomach
Kills many bacteria
what does the stomach do to food
Initiates digestion of food
what does the stomach deliver to the dueodenum
Chyme
what determines the rate that the stomach delivers chyme to the duodenum
secretion rate of bile salt, bicarb, digestion enzymes
rate of enzyme breakdown of carbs, fats, and proteins
small intestine transit
what are the 3 anatomic sections of the stomach
Fundus
body
Antum
what are the glandular regions of the stomach
Oxytic (mesial)
Pyloric (distal)
what are the cells of the gastric pit
mucous neck cells
Cheif cells
Parietal cells
what do parietal cells produce
HCL
Intrinsic factor
where is HCL produced
By parietal cells in the fundus and body (oxyntic gland area)
where is intrinsic factor produced
By parietal cells in the fundus and body (oxyntic gland area)
what do chief cells produce
Pepsinogen
where is pepsinogen produced
by chief cells in the body and the antrum (oxyntic and pyloric gland area)
where is mucous produced
in mucous neck cells throughout the stomach
where is bicarb produced
Epithelial cells through the stomach
where is gastrin produced
G cells in the NAtrum (pyloric gland area)
where is somatostatin producd
D cells through the stomach ath the base of gastric gland
