GI I Flashcards
bolus
food ball made from saliva and chewing in mouth
what does the large intestine absorb?
fluid and electrolytes
liver blood supply
25% from celiac artery
75% from portal vein (drains from GI system)
how much blood pools in the liver
10%, 500mL
how much nutrients does the liver take (first pass)
1/3-1/2 of nutrients
not fat or suppositories
how is the GI wall organized?
inner layer is absorptive/secretory cells
submucosa: motility and endocrine responses
muscularis externa: motor innervation
what 3 elements are the control mechanism for GI functiin
hormonal
neuronal
myogenic
what are the 6 gastric hormones and their source?
gastrin- G cells (stom, duo) CCK- I cells (duo, jej) Secretin- S cells (duo, jej) GLIP/GLP- K cells, L cells (duo, jej) Motillin- M cells (duo, jej) Somatostatin- D cells (pancreatic islets, GI mucosa)
what does gastrin do?
increases acid secretion, mucosa growth, motility
what does CCK do?
increase pancreatic bicarb, contraction of gallbladder/relax oddi
decrease gastric emptying
what does secretin do?
increases pancreatic and billiary bicarb secretion
decrease gastric acid secretion, growth of mucosa
what does GIP/GLIP do?
increases pancreatic insulin secretion
decrease gastric acid secretion
what does motillin do?
increases migrating motor complex during fasting
so no SIBO
what does somatostatin do/?
decrease gastric acid secretion
decrease pancreatic bicarb
decrease gallbladder contraction
does sym NS or para NS have direct connection with GI muscles and cells?
sym NS
for fight or flight response
what are the 3 enteric NT? fx?
Ach- parasym effects
VIP relax smooth muscle
GRP- increase gastrin secretion
are ICPs coupled to themselves or SMCs?
BOTH
what are the pacemakers in the GI system?
ICCs innervated by ENS
slow wave mechanism, contraction when threshold achieved (spike)
more spikes= larger contraction
what are the three things that control GI blood supply
arteriole control
ANS command
local events
what are the vasodilators for the GI arterioles?
NO
VIP
Ach
Substance P
when you are in shock what does that do to your absorption
ischemic villus (impaired)
what are the two local events that can change blood supply?
metabolic (changes in oxygen)
myogenic (stretch/tension)
what are the three things that make up peyers patch?
m cell- IGA secretions
SED (subepithelial dome) and SIGA secretion
TDA (thymus dependent area) t cells enzymes and secretions
what can radiation cause in GI?
low surface area (less absorbtion)
low goblet cell (less mucous)
does sympathetic or parasympathetic make saliva more protein rich?
sympathetic
when is the saliva more hypotonic?
low flow rates
155mEq
less basic
