Q

Composition of Biological Membranes

A
  • all living cells are enclosed by a membrane making it a living unit
  • barrier
  • cell membrane is semi-permeable permitting the rapid passage of some chemicals while rejecting others
  • polarized lipid composition

20
Q

Does cholesterol only have harmful effects?

A

NO

  • too much or too little is negative
  • provides fluidity at lower levels
21
Q

Intestinal Transport Systems

A

Passive
- non saturable
- paracellular (between cells)
- transcellular (through cells)

Carrier-Mediated
- saturable
- active (energy dependent)
- facilitated diffusion (energy independent)

22
Q

Drug Transporters

A
  • membrane bound proteins found on apical and basolateral surfaces
  • role is to move important molecules across membranes
  • crucial determinant of the distribution of drugs
23
Q

Solute Carrier Transporter

A
  • 43 subfamilies
  • generally influx
  • PepT1, OAT
24
Q

ABC Transporter

A
  • 7 subfamilies
  • generally efflux (multidrug resistance)
  • P glycoprotein
25
Q

Routes of Permeability

A
  • influx transporter
  • passive transcellular
  • passive transcellular and efflux
  • passive paracellular
  • metabolism
  • efflux
26
Q

Absorptive Transporter

A

transfer substrates into systemic blood circulation

27
Q

Secretory Transporter

A

transfer their substrates from blood circulation into bile, urine, lumen

28
Q

GI Tract Epithelia

A

Buccal: stratified squamous
Sublingual: simple squamous
Esophagus: stratified squamous
Trachea: psuedostratified squamous
Stomach: columnar
Small/Large Intestine: columnar
Upper Rectum: simple columnar
Lower Rectum: stratified squamous

29
Q

Role of Stomach

A
  • digest food and control the flow of contents into intestine

acts as food reservoir
processes food into chyme
regulates food delivery
pH protects from bacteria

30
Q

Role of Stomach Cont.

A

Fasted pH = < 3
Fed pH = 5-7

Emptying halftime = 30 min

31
Q

Organization of Stomach

A

Fundus: contains gas and produces contractions to move contents

Body: reservoir for ingested food

Antrum: contains pyloric region and controls flow into small intestine

32
Q

Intestine Facts

A

Mouth to Anus Time = 24-32 hours

Small Intestinal Time = 3 hours

MOST ABSORPTION OCCURS IN SMALL INTESTINE

pH = 5-6.5

33
Q

Why Intestine?

A

LOTS MORE SURFACE AREA TO GET ABSORBED

increases in surface area in SI due to folding such as (folds of kerckring, villi, microvilli)

34
Q

Characteristics of Colon

A
  • 125 cm log from caecum to anus
  • transport much slower than intestine
  • varies in thickness
  • illeocaecal valve limits food flow from ileum to caecum
  • responsible for water and electrolyte absorption
35
Q

Colon Structure

A

Serosa: squamous epithelium covered with adipose tissue

Muscularis Externa: inner circular muscle layer

Submucosa and muscosa

36
Q

3 Layers of Colon

A

Muscularis mucosae

Lamina Propria

Epitheliium

37
Q

Rectum

A
  • highly folded
  • stratified squamous of lower rectum allows for high drug absorption
  • low residence time
38
Q

Factors influencing Drug Solubility

A
  • buffer capacity
  • bile salts
  • regional fluids
  • other drugs
  • potential issues from endogenous substrates
39
Q

A
  • transporters and enzymes vary
  • diet and chemical expose varies
  • GI fluid composition varies
  • pharmacogenetics and genomics are issues
  • drug nutrient and drug drug interactions
