– and –
Sieving

39
Q

What is the adaptive reflex?

A

Reflexive response of proximal region to food entering stomach

40
Q

What does vagal stimulation cause in the stomach?

A

Proximal region: Suppresses contraction

Distal region: Stimulates peristalsis

41
Q

What is the motility like in the antrum?

A

Intense slow wave activty and contraction

42
Q

What is the motility like in the body?

A

Strong waves of peristalsis from body to pylorus

43
Q

What does gastrin do?

A

Stimulate motility
– and –
Gastric acid secretion

44
Q

What is the limiting factor of motility in the stomach?

A

Digestion and absorption in the SI

45
Q

What slows emptying in the stomach?

A

Low pH in duodenum
– and –
High fat in stomach

46
Q

What is secreted in response to fat and low pH?

A

CCK
– and –
Secretin

47
Q

What does CCK do?

A

Inhibits antrum motility

48
Q

What stimulates CCK secretion?

49
Q

What does Secretin do?

A

Inhibits antrum motility

50

51
Q

What does duodenal distension cause?

A

Inhibition of stomach motility

52
Q

What is the interdigestive motility complex?

A

Relaxtion of pylorus w/ strong waves of peristalsis through stomach

53
Q

What is the point of the interdigestive motility complex?

A

Force out anything in stomach

54
Q

When do interdigestive motility complexes occur?

A

once an hour

56
Q

Where is the vomiting center?

A

Reticular formation in the medulla

57
Q

What are the four things that input into the vomiting center?

A

Migrating motility complex

64
Q

What doe the MMC do?

A

Strong contractions, entire SI

Forceful emptying of SI

65
Q

What are the motility patterns of the large intestines?

Segmentation – Retropulsion – Propulsion

66
Q

What does the colonic pacemaker do?

A

Antiperistaltic motility – shift site of pacemaker

67
Q

What is the rectospincteric reflex?

A

Feces enters rectum - Internal sphincter relaxes - Rectal walls contraction

68
Q

What voluntary structure can stop the rectosphincteric reflex?

A

External anal sphichter

69
Q

Where does the PNS control of the sphincter originate?

A

Sacral spinal cord

70
Q

What is the stimulus/response of the orthocolic reflec?

A

Stimulus: Standing up
Response: Increased colonic motility/mass movemetn

71
Q

What occurs with the fear-stress induced defecation?

A

Fear - CRH - Activates PNS - Enhance colonic motility

72
Q

What is the stimulus/response to the gastrocolic reflex?

A

Stimulus: Full stomach
Response: Increase colonic motility –> fills rectum

73
Q

What is the stimulus/response enterogastric reflex?
