Introduction to GI Flashcards
Enteric nervous system
branch of ANS located entirely within GI tract.
what is enteric nerous sytem recieve regulation from
PNS and SNS
Is Ach excitiory or inhibitory
excititory
function of Ach
vasodilation
increased secretion
smooth muscle contraction
is NO excitiory or inhibitory
inhibitory
function of NO
vasocontriction
inhibit smooth muscle contraction
decreased secretions
is serotonin excitiory or inhibitory
excitory
function of serotonin
vasodilation
increased secretion
smooth muscle contraction
is dopamine excitory or inhibitory
inhibitory
function of dopamine
inhibit ENS neuronal firing
acts on presynaptic D2 cells
is NO excitiory or inhibitory
inhibitory
function of NO
smooth muscle relaxation
vascular and GI
is VIP excitory or inhibitory
inhibitory
function of VIP
smooth muscle relaxation
vascular and GI
What are the primary regulators of GI smooth muscle
Ach, VIP, NO
resting slow wave
continous depolarization and repolarization
spike potential
potential for rapid depolarization at peak of resting slow waves, given an appropriate stimulus
function of spinctors
regulate antegrade and retrograde movement
upper esophageal spincter
closed during inspiration
lower esophageal spincter
prevents reflux
