GIT,Physiology Flashcards
Food ingestion depends on
Hunger and appetite
Difference between hunger and appetite
Hunger:No specific food desire,can eat anything
Appetite:Desire to eat specific food e.g chicken,omelette
Layers of GIT and name them
4:in to out
1)mucosa(epithelium +CT+some muscles)
2)submucosa(CT)
3)Muscularis Externa(inner circular smooth muscle,outer longitudinal smooth muscle)————>motor control
4)serosa/Serosa adventitia (CT)
Syncytium caused by
Gap junctions in muscle bundle
Smooth muscle bundle
A) dia of Fiber and length?
B)number of fiver in bundle
Dia:2 -10 micrometer
Length:200 to 5 micrometer
No:1000
Types of waves in git and caused by
A)Slow waves——>Na channels in Interstitial cells of cajal
B)Spike potential——->Na Ca Channels
Frequency of slow waves
3 [stomach)
12(duodenum)
9 (terminal ileum)
Threshold of spike potential
-40
Stimulus of depolarisation
Muscle stretch,Ach released by parasympathetic endings,hormones
Hyperpolarisation (no git motility,cells less excited) caused by
Epinephrine,norepinephrine released in stress condition,Sypatethic stimulation
Tone
Partial state of contraction
Tonic contraction caused by
Excessive spike potential due to stimulus or hormones
Nervous system of GIT
Enteric Nervous System
Inhibitory neurotransmitter of myenteric plexus
VIP(vasoactive intestinal peptide)
Components and functions of enteric nervous system
2:
Meißners:bwMuscles Control git movement and motility
Meisters:in submucosa control local hormone secretion,blood flow,absorption
Sensory ending of git stimulated by
Mucosa irritation,excessive distension,chemicals
Sympathetic parasympathetic function
S;release norepinephrine ,inhibit smooth muscle/neuron,motility decrease passage of food difficult and give versa
Gastro intestinal reflexes types
1)within gut wall——>peristalsis,secretion,mixing contents
2)between git and prevertebral sypatethic ganglia——->gastrocolic
>enterogastric
>colonoileal
3)between git and spinal cord/brain stem
>vagovagal
>pain
>defecation
Hormones of GIT
*Gastrin,Cholecystokinin,Secretin,GIP,Motilin
Hormones of GIT
*Gastrin,Cholecystokinin,Secretin,GIP,Motilin
Peristalsis
Involuntary rhythmic muscle contraction that pushes food forward in git
Peristalsis occurs when
Distension of wall,physical/chemical irritant,parasympathetic stimuli
My enteric plexus inhibited by
Atropine which inhibit cholinerguc endings thus no peristalsis
Movement of git types
Peristalsis and mixing
Chewing reflex another name
Mastication
Rebound contraction
Reflex inhibition +stretch reflex
Mastication controlled by
Motor branches of 5th CN
Chewing necessary why
Break cellulose covering,increase surface area,easy swallowing
Swallowing stages
Oral,Pharyngeal,esophageal
Pharynx 2 functions
Respiration and swallowing making process of swallowing complicated and does one thing at a time
Peristaltic waves originate at
Esophageal stage of swallowing
Difference between primary and secondary peristaltic movements
1)P originate in pharynx,S anywhere food left behind
2)P intrinsic,S esophagus stretched
3)P-enteric nervous system,S-extrinsic vagus supply
If brainstem damaged in accident secondary work
Yes after some time enteric takes over
Swallowing center
Medulla (tracts solitarius)
Wave of relaxation works on and caused by(receptive relaxation)
Lower esopahgeal sphincter,myenteric inhibitory neurons
How lower esopagus prevent ulcers
1)constricted usually
2)Slit mechanism
Achlasia
Constricted lower oesophagus sphincter causing food blockage
Gerd
Relaxed lower esopahgeal sphincter causing gastric reflux and mucosa damage
Rugae appear when
Stomach empty,not stretched
Stomach reflexes
Vagovagal
Stomach can accommodate how much food
0.8 to 1.5 l
Motor function of stomach
Storage,mixing,chyme inputting
Retropulsion
Digging up of bonus and going back up for mixing in stomach forming chyme
Chyme
Chopped bolus +gastric acid
Chyme fluidity depend on
Food amount,water,stomach secretion
Difference between hunger contraction and pangs
Contraction +pain=pangs
Hunger pangs peak in
3 to 4 days
Peristalsis in stomach function
20% -peristaltic pump
80%- mixing
Stomach emptying promoted by
Pyloric pump and gastric factors(food volume more,gastrin)
Stomach emptying inhibited by
Duodenal factors(enterogastric reflex + hormones)
Effects of inhibition
Pyloric sphincter tone increase,pyloric pump decrease
Small and large intestine movements
Artificial classification of mixing and peristaltic movement (as both occur mixed so no true classification here)
Factors causing emptying inhibitions reflex to take place
Irritant,ph,osmolarkty,increase distension,fats more
Inhibitory hormones
Cc’d,secretin,GIP
Segmentation contraction
Mixing movements in small intestine
Total small intestine time
3 to 5 hrs
Peristaltic movements in small intestine controlled by
Nervous:gastroentric reflex,
Hormones:+ CCK,insulin,motilitin,serotonin,gastrin
- secretin,glucagon
Peristaltic rush
More propulsive movement due to irritant,ulcers
Haus trative movements,Mass movement
Colon mixing,peristaltic colon movements
Defecation reflex
Intrinsic+Parasympathetic defecatiin reflex
Paralysis of swallowing
Nerve damage,infection,muscle damage
Anaesthesia
Swallowing center inhibit
