Q

how does your stomach fit so much food

A

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 things decrease gastric emptying

sgmentation contractions SI
enterogastric reflex
relaxation of orad stomach
35
Q

duodenum fx

A

mixing, tonicity, acid neutralization

36
Q

jejunum fx

A

enzymatic digestion and absorption

37
Q

ileum fx

A

b12 and bile absorbtion

38
Q

what types of motility does the SI use?

A

peristalsis and segmentation

39
Q

what is sterlings law of intestine

A

distention >ENS> contracts proximal and relaxes distal to move food along

40
Q

intestino-intestinal reflex

A

severe distention causes inhibition of the bowel

41
Q

what is the BER along the SI?

A

as you move futher throught the SI the BER becomes less

42
Q

what is the UES controlled b

A

skeletral muscle

43
Q

what is the LES controlled by

A

smooth muscle

44
Q

how does food go from SI to LI

A

gastroileal reflex

45
Q

gastroileal reflex

A

iluem distends and relaxes ileocecal sphincter

when the colon distends the sphincter closes to prevent backflow

46
Q

fx of LI

A

absorb water 1.5 L, electrolytes, mass movement of waste

47
Q

contents of LI in order

A

fluid then mush then solid

48
Q

what are the best types of poo

A

type 3 and 4

49
Q

why do i have to poo after meal

A
gastrocolic reflex (food in stomach)
duodenocolic reflex (chyme in duo)

both stimulate mass movement in colon

50
Q

what are the three levels of control for why you get the urge to poo

A

intrinsic, spinal cord, brain

51
Q

which is voluntary the internal or external anal sphincter

A

external sphincter

52
Q

how does the brain send a signal to let you know you need to poo

A

PUdendal nerve to the external anal sphincter

53
Q

does the LI have more peristalsis or segmental contractions

A

segmental

BER is slower but gradually increases as you move along

54
Q

what can diarrhea do to you? why?

A

dehydrate you because most of the fluid that need to be absorbed is from your secretions

55
Q

how are water soluble vitamins C and B absorbed?

A

passive diffusion and Na vitamin symporters

SI

56
Q

how are fat soluble vitamins A D E K absorbed?

A

digested, absorbed, transported with dietary fat
stored in liver and fat cells
SI

57
Q

how are most minerals absorbed

A

depends on what complex they are with

SI

58
Q

where are biotin and vit K produced

A

in LI by bacteria and absorbed there

59
Q

describe b12 absorption from stomach to ileum

A

stomach R protein and IF find Cbl
duodenum proteases degrade R protein
jejunum Cbl and IF bind
Lower ileum most absorption

60
Q

how is b12 stored

A

50% liver

50% other tissue

61
Q

perniclous anemia

A

decrease in RBC bc lack of B12 absorbtion

usually bc of degradation of parietal cells and no IF

62
Q

what are the 3 phases of intestinal digestio

A
luminal (mixing of chyme, acid, enzym)
brush border (enzymes on surface of luminal surface)
cytosolic (interal digestion in enterocytes
63
Q

how to get from droplets to FFA?

A

lipase can bind droplet
lipase displaced by bile salts
lipase and colipase bind and breakdown fat

64
Q

how are LCFA absorbed?

A

diffusion into cell made into Triglyceride by smooth ER
coated by rough ER and exocytosed
into lym system

65
Q

how are glycerol, short and medium chain FA absorbed?

A

transcellular absorption- cap-portal vein-liver
intracell absorption not resynthesized
lymp or cap

66
Q

failure to digest or absorb lipids may cause what

A

ssteatorrhea (fatty poo)

67
Q

where is most lipids absorbed?

A

jejunum

68
Q

what are the cholesterol transporters?

A

ABCG5 and ABCG8

NPC1L1 ** key to chol. homeostasis

69
Q

what do ABCG5 and ABCG8 do

A

prevent accumulation of dietary cholesterol

70
Q

sitosterolemia

A

mutation in ABCG5&8
hypercholesterolemia
xanthoma (fat grown underneath skin)
atherosclerosis

71
