GI II Flashcards
peristalsis? where does this occur?
propulsion through the area esophagus stomach Small intestine large intestine
segmentation? where does this occur?
used for mixing
stomach
small intestine
large intestin
tonic contraction? where does this occur?
just a held contraction of sphincters
mastication
chewing
deglutition
swallowing
describe the 4 phases of chewing and swallowing
phase 1 oral chew: voluntary .1 sec
phase 2 oral propulsive: voluntary .5sec
phase 3 phayngeal: involuntary swallow reflex .5sec
phase 4 esophageal: involuntary peristalsis
what are the goals of chewing and swallowing
grind food
introduce salivary lipase and amylase
lubricate
small bolus
what are the two forms of peristalsis
primary and secondary
primary peristalsis
intially swallow food
UES and LES open
ANS= long reflex
where does the vaso-vagal response coordinate with?
dorsal vagal complex in medulla oblongata
is primary or secondary peristalsis impaired by vagotomy?
primary peristalsis
secondary peristalsis
distension from food in esophagus
LES opens
ENS- short reflex
which peristalsis creates orad contraction and caudad distension?
primary
GERD
LES too relaxed
laying down after meals or being pregnant
what are some side effects of GERD
asthma (aspiration)
chronic sinus infxn (reflux into throat)
stricture of esophagus (scar tissue)
barretts esophagus leads to throat cancer
what are tonic LES contraction decreased with
alchohol
chocolate
smoking
what are tonic LES contractions increased with
acid and protein
achalasia
LES too constricted (ENS myoenteric plexus dysfunction)
symptoms of achalasia
weight loss, belching, dysphagia (trouble swallow) halitosis
rupture of esophagus
halitosis
bad breath
how much can the achalasia LES hold?
1L of food or drink
what inhibits motilin?
feeding
what is the migrating motor complex
induced by ghrelin after 90min cycles to ensure gastric emptying and SIBO (phase 2)
motilin induces step 3 that causes meaningful contractions
how does your stomach fit so much food
1 stretch
2 ENS local
3 ENS> vago vagal
2 and 3 release NO and VIP
4 food in duodenum releases CCK which causes more relaxation by trigger 2 and 3
what does a vagotomy impair in the stomach
relaxation of the stomach (cant eat as much)
does the stomach use segmentation or peristalsis?
both
enterogastric reflex description
slows motion of chyme or food and allows more time for digestion in the stomach
triggers are acidity, fat and AA in duodenum
what are the 3 pathways for enterogastric reflex
short through ENS
long through CNS
secretion of CCK and secretin
all inhibit motion
dumping syndrome
moves through too quickly after GI surgery
delayed emptying
gastroparesis, pain causes this, narcotics, diabetes
list in order gastric emptying compounds
liquids>CHO>Pro>Fat
isotonic>non tonic
low fiber>high fiber
how long until liquid is emptied? CHO? Pro? Fat?
liq 1hr
cho 1.5 hr
pro 2.2 hr
fat 3hr
what things increase gastric emptying
increase peristaltic force stomach decrease tone of pyloric sphincter ansence of segmental contraction SI less acidic, isotonic chyme tonic tone of orag stomach
