GI 4 Flashcards

1
Q

Primary process of acid secretion from parietal

A
  1. Free H+ actively transported across apical membrane
  2. Water dissociates to H+ and OH- freeing more H+ to be actively transported out
  3. OH- combines with CO2 via CA to generate HCO3
  4. HCO3 exchanged with Cl at basolateral
  5. Cl diffuses across apical through open channels

Q

What is secondary mechanism of acid secretion

A

Q

What is the stimuli for acid secretion

A

Insertion of apical H+/K+ ATPase, Cl- and K+ transported stored in vesicles

Q

What is the short reflex of gastric acid secretion

A
  • once food enters stomach (further reinforced)
  • luminal distension, AAs and peptides increase gastrin secretion which stimulate parietal cells

Q

Gastric digestive enzyme secretion process

A

Chief cells release pepsinogen and gastric lipase
Pepsinogen cleaved to pepsin by HCl
Pepsin breaks down protein to peptides

Q

Mucus and HCO3 secreted from

A

Mucous cells (to prevent breakdown of epithelial cells)

22
Q

What is mucus secretion stimulated by

A

Parasympathetic input and irritation

23
Q

What is HCO3 secretion stimulated by

A

Parasympathetic input and H+

24
Q

What are the 2 mucous cell types

A

Mucous surface cell
Mucous neck cell

25
Q

What is the physical barrier

A

Mucus layer

26
Q

What is the chemical barrier that neutralizes acid

A

Bicarbonate

27
Q

What is a peptic ulcer

A

Sore or break in lining of stomach or duodenum (acid + digestive enzymes break down)

28
Q

What is peptic ulcers caused by

A

Excessive acid production (gastrin secreting tumors)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (chronic use, aspirin, ibuprofen)
H. Pylori

29
Q

A

Stress, spicy foods, over production of acid

30
Q

What was finally hypothesized to cause ulcers

A

Bacteria

31
Q

How does H.pylori cross mucus layer

A

Urease inside breaks down urea into NH3 and CO2
Creates buffer zone around themselves
Buffer attracted to HCO3 and mucus layer
Mucus layer breaks down and exposes epithelia

32

A

5.5 L and additional 3.5 L added from hepatic, pancreatic, and intestinal

33

34
Q

What type of contraction mix chyme in small intestine

A

Combination of segmental and peristaltic

35
Q

Where is most absorption in sm int

A

7.5L in duodenum and jejenum (most in jejenu)

37
Q

What promotes and inhibits motility in sm int

A

Parasympathetic innervation, gastrin, and cholecystokinin promotes
Sympathetic innervation inhibits

38
Q

What increase surface area in sm int

A

Plicae (large folds), villi, microvilli

39
Q

What do villi do

A

Increase surface area available for absorption and secrete mucus (goblet cells)

A

Most fats to lymph

43
Q

What are brush border enzymes

A

Enzymes stay attached to microvilli

44
Q

Where does venous blood go from GI tract

A

Hepatic portal system
Liver acts as biological filter

45
Q

What does the liver acting as biological filter do

A

Contains variety of enzymes that metabolize drugs and xenobiotics and clear them from the blood stream before it proceeds to systemic circulation

46
Q

Why do drugs given orally have higher dose then IV

A

Absorbed in GI then metabolized in liver then travels through systemic

What do mucus and isotonic saline do

A

Lubricate contents of gut

50
Q

How is isotonic saline produced

A
  1. Na, K+, and CL- enter by cotransport
  2. Cl enters lumen through CFTR
  3. Na+ is reabsorbed
  4. Negative CL in lumen attracts Na by paracellular pathway
  5. Water follows
