GI Gastric Morility And Gastric Acid Secretion Flashcards
What is the stand the starting point for
Digestion of proteins (via pepsin and HCl)
What does the stomach do
Mixes the food with gastric secretions to products chyme
What is the absorption like in the stomach
Limited amount
How much gastric juice is approx prod by stomach a day
2litre/day
What are the structural elements that make up the j shaped bag stomach
Fundus Cardia Body Rugae Pylorus Antrim Lesser and greater curvature
What so the mixing like in the stomach
Direction of peristaltic move from funds to pylorus forces food to sphincter
If sphincter open this is emptying to duo
If closed retropulsion of chyme allowing mix
What determines the escape of chyme through the pyloric sphincter
The strength of the Antral wave
What is the strength of the Antral wave governed by
Gastric factors originating in stomach
Duodenal factors originating in duo
What are the gastric factors influencing gastric emptying
Rate of emptying proportional to volume of chyme in stomach
- as vol increases the greater distension of wall of stomach
Consistency of chyme
- rotting facilitated by finely divided thick liquid chyme so can fit through pyloric sphincter
What are the duodenal factors which influence gastric emptying
Duodenum must be ready to receive chyme and can delay this emptying
Stimuli which duodenum drives the neuronal and hormonal responses
How can the duo delay the stomach emptying
Neuronal - enterogastric reflex, when duo senses chyme sends signal to decrease Antral peristalsis via intrinsic nerve plexuses and autonomic neurones
Homonal - release enterogastrones( secretin, cck) from endocrine cells in duo inhibit stomach contraction thoug GPCR’s
How does fat influence the duodenal hormonal and neural responses
Potent delay in emptying required for digestion and abs in small intestine
Difficult to digest as insol water
Digested v slow
Howes acid affect the duodenal hormonal and neuronal repsonse
Only small mount added
Time required for neutralisation by bicarbonate sec from pancreas
How does hyper tonicity affect the hormonal and neuronal factors of the duo
Products of carb and protein digestion are osmotically active and draw water into small intestine
Danger of reduced plasma vol and circulatory disturbances
What does a g cell in the gastric pit release
Gastrin
What’s does a d cell in a gastric pit release
Somatostatin.
What does a parietal cell release
HCl and intrinsic factor
What does an enterochromaffinlike cell prod
Histamine
What does a chief cell produce
Pepsinogen
What are the two oes of gastric pits and where are they found
Pyloric gland area in the Antrum
Oxcyntic mucosa in the fungus and body
