Q

Describe the Immune barriers that are assisted by a dense mucus layer

  1. There are two layers of mucus on the GIT wall. 2. A thin outer mucus layer that microbes can thrive in. 3. A dense inner mucus layer (yellow in picture below) on top of epithelium that has lots of antimicrobial peptides (AMP secreted by Paneth Cells) and immunoglobulins IgA. 4. And there is an immune cell layer in the intestinal epithelial cells. 5. Reticuloendothelial immune cells in the liver. SFB=segmented filamentous bacteria (Mucous is SO important in the GI tract -problem with cholera– mucous is eliminated, these Pts die primarily from dehydration and vulnerable to superimposed infections that break through mucosa)

54
Q

Pharyngeal phase= -nerves involved?

A

Bolus advanced from pharynx to esophagus. Soft Palate is elevated to Posterior Nasopharyngeal wall by Levator veli palatini. Superior Constrictors bring Palatopharyngeal folds together. Larynx and Hyoid are elevated and pulled forward to the Epiglottis to relax Cricopharyngeus m. (V, X, XI, XII)

Achalasia: -Sx on X ray?

A

“bird’s beak” appearance -MC due to the autoimmune disease OR with chaga’s disease

108
Q

What is the MC primary cancer of the esophagus? -what is the MC precursor?

A

**adenocarcinoma -Distal esophagus most commonly -Barrett esophagus MC precursor

109
Q

What is the MC cancer of the esophagus in the middle 1/3 of the esophagus?

A

**Squamous cell carcinoma -Middle third of esophagus Smoking Alcohol Achalasia Plummer Vinson

110
Q

Cancer of the esophagus: (adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma) -Sx?

A

-Dysphagia/Odynophagia -Weight loss -Painless supraclavicular nodes -Dry cough and hemoptysis if tracheal invasion -**Hoarseness – recurrent laryngeal nerve

111
Q

Digestion: -Glycocalyx?

A

=Glycoprotein-polysaccharide covering epithelial cells that aid digestion

112
Q

Carbohydrate and protein digestive products go to the ____

A

liver via the portal vein

113
Q

Fats go to the lymphatic system via the ________

A

thoracic duct and end up in the venous system

114
Q

Flow of chemicals into stomach controlled by ____

A

autonomic nervous system and hormones.

115
Q

Where is Gastrin produced? -Gastrin increases ____ secretion

A

from G cells in stomach secondary to antral distension –> increases HCl secretion from Parietal cells **KNOW for exam: gastrin is produced by G cells of the stomach. Secondary to ANTRAL distension!!!! This increases HCL secretion from parietal cells

116
Q

Cholecysokinin is produced by?

A

from I cells in mucosa of small bowel– > gallbladder contractions –>release of bile salts into duodenum (hormone from I cells in mucosa of the SMALL BOWEL. And it causes gallbladder contractions and bile salts to go into the duodenum)

117
Q

Secretin: -produced by? -regulates?

A

-From duodenum S cells -regulates H20 homeostasis (Secretin= absorbs water when needed, and secretes water when not needed)

118
Q

Gastic inhibitory peptide: -decreases both ______ _____ release and ____

A

decreases both gastric acid release and motility

119
Q

Enteroglucagon: -decreases _____

A

gastric acid and motility (inject Pt with glucagon to relax the bowel)

120
Q

Stomach: -Fx? -Carbs are broken down via ? -Acid produced?

A

-fx: Digestion -Carbohydrates – are broken down by amylase -Proteins – Chief Cells produce Pepsinogen– > which is broken down into pepsin (note: pepsinogen DOES not react to acid of the stomach, but Pepsin CAN get broken down by hydrochloric acid of the stomach) -Hydrochloric acid -**Intrinsic factor – B12

121
Q

Pernicious anemia=

A

=megaloblastic anemia–> means the parietal cells no longer fx (slow process) , *pernicious anemia= means intrinsic factor issue that causes poor absorption of B12!!
