HECKdigestion and absorption of fluids and electrolytes Flashcards
Which part of GI absorbs the most
SI
What part of GI ares most electrolytes reabsorbed
Jejunum(all) and then in distal colon (except for K)
What is segmental heterogeneity
differences of cell expression of the transporters along the length of intestines
What is surface herterogeneity
differences in the trasport from top of villus to bottom of crypt
What is cellular heterogeneity
differences in transport mechanisms in different cells within sam villus or crypt
What is the net absorption and net secretion in SI?
Large I?
SI: absorb NaCl and K, secrete HCO3
LI: absorp NaCl, secrete K HCO3
What does it mean by saying epithelial cells in intestine are polar
apical side and basolateral
Mucosal resistnace depends on what type of movement
paracellular Resistance from tight junctions
How does resistance of epithelium change as you move away from mouth, change as you move down crypt?
increases as move away from mouth
increases as move down crypt
What are secretagogues
induce secretion, agonists that also increase second messengers.
What natural substance can act as a laxative
bile acid
What are absorptagogoues
Induce absorption (neural, endocrine and paracrine)
What are types of absorptagogues
mineralcorticoids, glucocorticoids, somatostatin and Norepinephrine
What is osmotic diarrhea
dietary component that is pulling H2O into the lumen because it is not being absorbed
What is Secretory diarrhea
secretion of fluid and electrolytes from intestine induced by secretagogues
What are secretagogues from bacteria
enterotoxins that increase second messengers
does not affect Na absorption
What will reverse secretory diarrhea
Na and Glucose solution
Where is most of Na absorbed
villous epithelium of SI
surface epithelium of LI
Describe the Na, K ATPase
low intracell Na because pumping into interstitial
gradient then used as driving force
What are the 4 types of apical Na transport
Nutrient-coupled
Na/H exchanger
Electroneutral NaCl absorption
Electrogenic Na absorption
Describe path and energy for nutrient coupled Na transport
secondary active transport running on Na gradient
transports 1 Na in along with glucose or glactose
What is significant about the nutrient-coupled Na transport that is not like the other
not inhibited by cAMP of gAMP
so can still work in cholera or E coli enterotoxin from bacteria which increase cAMP
What is the name of the glucose.Na cotransporter
SGLT1
What is the other type of Nutrient coupled Na transport
Na/aa co-transport
Describe the mech of Na/H exchanger
couples Na uptake to H extrusion into intestinal lumen
stimulated by secretion of HCO3 in duodenum
driven by Na gradient
Where in the intestine are the Na/H exchanger
throughout intestine, mainly jejunum
What is the effect on pH from Na/pH
increase intracell pH
decrease luminal pH
What would pancreatitis have as an effect on NaH exchanger
wouldnt run because needs HCO3 to stimulate. so luminal pH would not decrease
In the proximal small intestine why is there the Na/H exchanger without Cl-HCO3
runs on HCO3 alone
Describe the mech of the electroneutral NaCl absorption
Na-H and Cl-HCO3 apical membrane coupled through pH neutrality
Where and when is the electroneutral NaCl absorption most important
ileum and large intestine, primary method of Na absorption between meals
Describe the effects of travelers diarrhea on the electroneutral NaCl
inhibited NaCl absorption because of increased cAMP and cGMP because of increased Ca
describe mech of electrogenic Na absorption
epithelial Na channels on apical surface
depends on gradient from NaK pump
Where are the electrogenic Na absorption channels very important
in the distal colon because is a rescue mechanism for Na conservation
