GI System Flashcards
The function of the GI system is
digestion of food and absorption of nutrients and water
Disorders are related to_ from _ _ _ and abnormal movement of _
damage from gastric acid secretion
food
Disorders of GI tract
- damage to the (upper/lower) GI mucosa resulting in a _ ulcer
- GI motility
- digestion and _
- infections and _ invasions
damage to the upper GI mucosa resulting in a peptic ulcer
Digestion and vomiting
infections and parastic invasions
What are the side effects of excessive amounts of gastric acid?
a. ulcers
b. hemorrhage of stomach lining
c. vomiting
d. a and b
ulcers and hemorrhage of the stomach lining
The acidic nature of gastric juices is essential for
a. getting rid of bacteria
b. activating digestive protease activity and controlling intestinal bacteria
c. secretion
d. none of the above
activating digestive protease activity and controlling intestinal bacteria
Problems with drugs that are used to control gastric activity and secretion include
peptic ulcers
indigestion
epigastric pain (dyspepsia)
GERD
Which GI drug is used as an attempt to chemically neutralize the stomach acids?
a. Antacids
b. Histamine
c. Proton Pump Inhibitors
d. other agents
Antacids
Antacids contain bases to neutralize the acid (true/false)
true
Antacids are used to treat
a. acute and long term peptic ulcers, GERD
b. GERD, dyspepsia
c. minor gastric discomfort, peptic ulcers, chronic GERD
d. peptic ulcer and GERD
minor gastric discomfort
peptic ulcers
chronic GERD
Primary Antacids are classified as
aluminum-containing
magnesium-containing
calcium carbonate-containing
sodium bicarbonate containing
Side effects with antacids
constipation
diarrhea
acid rebound phenomenon
Which GI drug is used to stimulate specific H2 receptors on stomach parietal cells to increase gastric acid secretion?
a. Antacids
b. H2 receptor blockers
c. Proton Pump Inhibitors
d. other agents
H2 receptor blockers
Use of H2 receptor blockers
a. acute and long term peptic ulcers, GERD
b. acute and long term peptic ulcers, dyspepsia, GERD
c. minor gastric discomfort, peptic ulcers, chronic GERD
d. peptic ulcer and GERD
acute and long term peptic ulcers, dyspepsia, GERD
Side Effects of H2 antagonists
headache
dizziness
mild GI problems
acid rebound
Which drug is used to inhibit H+, K+-ATPase enzyme responsible for secreting acid from gastric parietal cells into the lumen
a. Antacids
b. H2 receptor blockers
c. Proton Pump Inhibitors
d. other agents
Proton Pump Inhibitors
Proton Pump Inhibitors are used to treat
helicobacter pylori infections
control acid secretion
