GIT Physio Flashcards
Extrinsic parasympathetic innervation of the esophagus to the upper large intestine is through
Vagus nerve
Reflexes in which both afferent and efferent pathways are contained in the vagus nerve are called
Vasovagal reflex
Extrinsic parasympathetic innervation from lower large intestine to anus is through the
Pelvic nerves
Intrinsic innervation of GIT for secretion
Meissner/Submucosal plexus
Intrinsic innervation of GIT for motility
Auerbach/ Myenteric plexus
What layer of the GIT is not seen in the esophagus?
Serosa
Strongest layer of the esophagus
Submucosa
3 layers of the stomach
Inner OBLIQUE
Middle circular
Outer longitudinal
Myenteric plexus is mainly excitatory except for
Pyloric sphincter
Ileocecal valve
GI hormone that is triggered by proteins and amino acids especially F,W,M and gastric distension
Gastrin
GI Hormone that is found in the G cells of the antrum
Gastrin
Action of gastrin
Stimulate parietal of cells for HCl secretion
GI hormone that is triggered by all types of food but mainly fatty acids
CCK
CCK is found where
I cells in duodenum
Action of CCK
Bile secretion
Delayed gastric emptying
Increased pancreatic enzyme secretion
GI hormone that is triggered by FA and H in duodenum
Secretin
secretin is found at
S cells in duodenum
Action of secretin
Inhibits HCl secretion
GI hormone triggered by oral glucose
GIP
Where is GIP found?
K cells in duodenum
Action of GIP
Insulin secretion
Inhibits gastric emptying
GI Hormone triggered by fasting
Motilin
Where is motilin found
M cells in duodenum
Action of motilin
Activates interdigestive /migrating myoelectric complex
This hormone inhibits the release of all GIT hormones
Somatostatin
This hormone increases H secretion, potentiates gastrin and Ach action
Histamine
This hormone relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter, pyloric sphincter, orad stomach, ileocecal valve
VIP
This hormone is secreted by pancreatic islet cells tumors and involved in pancreatic cholera
VIP
Hormone that stimulates HCO3 secretion and inhibits gastric H secretion
VIP
Hormone that contracts LES, pyloric sphincter etc
Inhibits intestinal secretion of fluids and electolytes
Enkephalins
Found at the Ventromedial hypothalamus and inhibits appetite
Satiety center
Hunger center is found in
Found in the lateral hypothalamus and stimulates appetite
What part of the brain sends signals to satiety and hunger centers
Arcuate nucleus
