Q

____ is a condition in which an abnormal columnar epithelium replaces the stratified squamous that normally lines the distal esophagus. It is the most severe histologic consequence of chronic GERD and predisposes to development of adenocarcinoma of esophagus

Q

What are the 4 regions of the stomach?

A

Cardia, fundus, body, & pylorus

17
Q

What is the function of the Orad area?

What is the function of the Caudad area?

A

Orad area and LES relax during swallowing

Involved in regulation of gastric emptying

18
Q

____ glands are simple tubular and coiled at the lower end. These are lined by mucus-secreting cells and have a structure similar to the esophageal cardiac glands found in the mucosa of the esophagus.

A

Cardiac glands–> extend from pit or foveola down through mucosa and coil

19
Q

____ cells are located at the opening of the gastric gland into the pit and produce mucins and glycoproteins with high MW. Produces a mucus blanket to trap HCO3- and neutralizes microenvironment adjacent to apical region of the surface of mucous cells to an alkaline pH

A

Mucous neck cells

20
Q

____ cells predominate in the lower 1/3 of the gastric gland and secrete pepsinogen. These cells are NOT present in cardiac glands and are seldom found in the pyloric antrum

A

Chief

21
Q

___ cells secrete HCl and IF and are numerous in the upper portion of the body of the gastric gland

A

Parietal

22
Q

____ is caused by autoantibodies to H+,K+-dependent ATPase, a parietal cell ag., and IF. Destruction of parietal cells causes are reduction in HCl in the gastric juice (achlorhydria) and a lack of synthesis of IF.

The resulting B12 deficiency disrupts formation of RBCs in BM, leading to pernicious anemia

A

Autoimmune gastritis

23
Q

The parasympathetic mediator ___ and the peptide ___ stimulate parietal cells to secrete HCl

A

Ach, Gastrin

Ach can also stimulate release of gastrin

24
Q

Where does H pylori like to reside?

A

Gastric epithelium of the pyloric antrum

25
Q

These cells produce peptide hormones and are also neuroendocrine mediators. They are members of Diffuse Neuroendocrine System (DNES). These cells regulate water, electrolyte metabolism, and enzyme secretion; regulate GI motility and mucosal growth; stimulate release of other peptide hormones

A

Gastroenteroendocrine cells

26
Q

____ is released by cells in the duodenal glands of Lieberkuhn when the gastric contents enter the stomach. It stimulates pancreatic and duodenal (brunner’s glands) bicarb and fluid release to control gastric acid secretion (antacid effect) and regulate the pH of the duodenal contents.

A

Secretin

27
Q

Secretin, along with ____, stimulates growth of exocrine pancreas. Secretin can also stimulate chief cells to secrete ___, and inhibit ___ release to reduce HCl secretion in the stomach.

A

CCK
Pepsinogen
Gastrin

28
Q

____ is produced by G cells located in the pyloric antrum and its function is to stimulate the production of HCl by parietal cells. It can also activate CCK to stimulate gallbladder contraction

A

Gastrin

29
Q

___ is produced in the duodenum and stimulates gallbladder contraction and relaxation of sphincter of Oddi when protein- and fat-rich chyme enters duodenum.

A

CCK

30
Q

___ is produced in the duodenum and stimulate insulin release when glucose is detected in the SI

A

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP)

31
Q

___ is released cyclically (every 90 mins) during fasting from the upper SI and stimulate GI motility. A neural control mechanism regulates its release

A

Motilin

32
Q

____ is produced in the fundus of the stomach and stimulates the secretion of GH. The levels of this peptide hormone increase during fasting triggering hunger by acting on hypothalamic feeding centers

A

Ghrelin

33
Q

List the 4 layers of the GI tract

A

Mucosa (epithelium, lamina propria, muscularis mucosa)
Submucosa (connective tissue; contains glands, BV’s, nerves)
Muscularis externa (smooth muscle; 2-3 layers)
Adventitia (for esophagus, most of duodenum) OR Serosa (rest of GI) –> This layer is made up of connective tissue to support and bind organ to others
