29
Q

dysphagia

A

difficulty swallowing

30
Q

achalasia

A

failure of LES to relax

31
Q

diffuse esophageal spasms

A

uncoordinated esophageal contraction

32
Q

hiatal hernia

A

moves LES into thoracic cavity - increased GE reflux

33
Q

GERD

A

when LES doesn’t work properly

34
Q

barrets esophagus

A

long term GERD

-columnar cells replace squamous mucosa

adapt to acid exposure

predispose to esophageal cancer

35
Q

dysphagia

A

common in elderly

-structural, functional, disease - neuro dx, stroke, parkinsons, myasthenia gravis, xerostomia

36
Q

achalasia

A

lack of peristalsis in esophagus

LES does not relax

food at level of LES

chagas disease - trypanosoma cruzi

37
Q

trypanosoma cruzi

A

chagas disease

-achalasia

38
Q

birds beak on barium radio

A

achalasia

39
Q

LES closed except

A

primary peristalsis - 2 sec after swallow - NO and VIP release

secondary peristalsis - distension after esophagus

40
Q

NO, VIP

A

LES relaxation

41
Q

DES

A

diffuse esophageal spasm

-contraction of esophagus

uncoordinated

prevent food reaching stomach

dysphagia, regurg, chest pain

unknown cause

trigger - hot/cold food

42
Q

hiatal hernia

A

protrusion of upper stomach into thorax through diaphragm
-burning feeling in throat and chest

like GERD

43
Q

stomach secretion

A

2L/day isotonic fluid

proximal - pepsinogen, HCl, IF, mucus, bicarb, water

distal - gastrin, mucus, somatostatin

44
Q

parietal cells

A

release HCl and IF

45
Q

chief cells

A

release pepsinogen and renin

46
Q

mucous neck cells

A

release mucus and bicarb

47
Q

endocrine cell

A

ECL - enterochromaffin like - histamine

G cells - gastrin

D cells - somatostatin

48
Q

oxyntic glands

A

fundus and body of stomach

  • parietal cells
  • chief cells
  • mucous cells
49
Q

pyloric glands

A

antrum and pyloric region

  • G cells - gastrin
  • mucous cells
50
Q

stomach mucosa

A

replaced every 3 days

51
Q

mucus secretion

A

surface epithelial cells - thick viscous alkaline

mucous neck cells - thin watery

52
Q

parietal stimulation

A

ACh
gastrin
histamine

53
Q

D cell stimulation

A

acid in stomach

-release of somatostatin

54
Q

somatostatin

A

inhibit gastric acid release

55
Q

G cell stimulation

A

ACh, peptides, AAs

release gastrin

56
Q

gastrin

A

stimulate gastric acid secretion

57
Q

non-parietal cells

A

basal secretion between meals

high in Na and Cl
low in H and K

58
Q

parietal cells

A

stimulated secretion after meal
-stimulated by gastrin and histamine

high in H and Cl
low in Na and K

59
Q

rate of gastric secretion

A

inverse relationship between lumen concentration of H and Na as function of gastric secretion

low rate - high Na, low H
high rate - high H, low Na

60
Q

acid secretion

A

H from H2CO3
-HCO3 exchanged for secreted Cl

requires lots of energy - H/K ATPase

61
Q

parietal cell agonist

A

ACh, gastrin, histamine
-more acid

ACh - M3 receptors
gastrin - CCK8 receptor - gastrin 1500x more potent than histamine
-histamine - H2 receptor

62

parietal cell antagonist

A

somatostatin and PGs

-less acid

63
Q

zollinger-ellison

-too much acid secreted

64
Q

atrophic gastric

A

  • destruction of IF secreting parietal cells
  • macrocytic anemia
65
Q

NSAIDs

A

cause decreased mucous production - because decreased PGs

66
Q

direct vs. indirect parietal cell activation

A

direct - ACh, gastrin, histamine act on parietal

indirect - ACh and gastrin stimulate ECL - more histamine

67
Q

synergistic stimulation and potentiation of acid secretion from parietal cells

A

direct stimulation

68
Q

vagotmomy

A

cutting vagus nerve
-inhibits gastric acid secretion

to tx peptic ulcers

selective - cut nerves supplying parietal cells only

69
Q

A

cephalic - 30% total

  • reflex to medulla
  • sight, smell, taste

gastric - 50-60%
-food distends gastric mucosa

intestinal - 10%

  • peptides in duodenum
  • 3 hormones that inhibit acid secretion - secretin, GIP, CCK
70

secretin, CIP, CCK

A

three hormones that inhibit gastric acid secretion
