retropulsion
some gets through
when sphincter closes. contents slam against closed sphincter and are propelled backward - mixes

uncoontrolled dumping into duodenum
overwhelms secretory (panc, liver, duo mucosa)
-->. incomplete digestion, acidic pH, reduced digestive enzymes

decrease in gastric secretions (vit B12 deficiency)
ulcers (gastric and duo)

96
Q

atrophic gastritis

A

only in elderly
chronic inflam of mucosa –> loss of glandular cells (replace w/ fibrous tissue)
increase risk of stomach cancer (prolonged inflam, hypochlorhydria –> G cell hyperplasia)
