61
Q

how does lactose cause diarrhea

strong simulator of acid secretion by parietal cells
*can be caused by H pylori

adhesion

65
Q

how is diverticulitis caused

strong contractions push some of the lumen out inbetween the 3 bands of longitudinal muscle in the LI

66
Q

what is an intussusception

A

telescoping of one area, a part pushes back into another and narrows the pathway

67
Q

what are ascites

A

fluid that builds up in the abdominal cavity

68
Q

How does lactose cause gas

A

as lactose goes into the LI, the bacteria digest it, but gas is produced as a byproduct

69
Q

what is fibrosis caused by

A

increased production of ECM components

70
Q

Name the intestinal obstruction:
a twist in the LI that makes a knot and can cause a complete obstruction

A

a volvulus

71
Q

Stage C1 colon/rectal cancer

A

B1 to regional lymph nodes

72
Q

Where do we get lactase from

A

it’s a brush border enzyme from the SI

73
Q

True or false: Crohns disease can affecct any segment of the GI tract

A

True

74
Q

what hormones can alter intestinal motility

A

ones at the end of the luteal phase of cycle

75
Q

what is mixed diarrhea

A

the rate of transit through intestine is too quick to allow water to be reabsorbed

76
Q

what is the relationship between CF and the pancreas

A

The lack of CFTR makes very thick mucus and blocks the ducts - causing fibrosis, lack of enzymes, incomplete digestions and then nutritional deficiencies

77
Q

celiac occurs more often in which gender

A

women

78
Q

what part of the SI can cause malabsorption of B12 in crohns disease

A

ileum

79
Q

what are polyps associated with

A

increased risk of colon and rectal cancer

80
Q

Name the intestinal obstruction:
a cancer - can block the flow in the GI tract

A

a neoplasm

81
Q

what happens with crohns disease

A

an inflammaotyr response occurs that goes through the whole thickness and can cause perforations and get part of the intestines stuck to another

82
Q

what happens to epithelial villi when a celiac patient eats gluten

A

they get flattened or absent

83
Q

whats the treatment for duodenal ulcers

A

anything to make the environment less acidic and allow the ulcer to heal

PPI
H2 blocker
antibiotics *h pylori
ulcer coating agents

84
Q

what can cause hemorrhoids

A

constipation
pregnancy

85
Q

what does fibrosis lead to

A

protal hypertension

86
Q

what kind of tenderess is present with appendicitis

A

rebound

87
Q

name 3 key causes of liver cirrhosis

A

alcoholism
viral hepatitis
nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

88
Q

which are more chronic - gastric or duodenal ulcers

A

gastric - they also cause more anorexia, vomiting and weight loss

89
Q

Stage B1 colon/rectal cancer

A

muscularis but not to serosa

90
Q

what is an adhesion

A

things pushing down from the outside ie muscle and narrowing the passageway

91
Q

what ages are typically affected by gastric ulcers

A

55-65

92
Q

what is the most common site of ulcers

A

duodenum

93
Q

what is the only definitive diagnosis method for gastric carcinoma

A

gastric biopsy

94
Q

what does lactase do

A

turns lactose (a disaccharide) into a monosaccharide so we can digest it

95
Q

How can a lack of fiber cause diverticulitis

A

it increases the risk of constipation, which means you’ll be straining more to poop

96
Q

why does gastric carcinoma have such a low survival rate?

A

because there are no automatic red flags that say cancer

97
Q

where does ulcerative colitis occur

A

rectum or colon

98
Q

what are some clinical signs of appendicitis

A

pain in the lower right quadrant
nausea
vomiting
low-grade fever

99
Q

how does bile get more concentrated in the gallbladder

A

water and salts get reabsorbed by the lining of the gallbladder - lipid soluble parts get concentrated

100
Q

what is the origin of crohns disease thought to be

A

autoimmune

101
Q

what is a major cause of duodenal ulcers

A

H pylori - but typically not enough

102
Q

what are the two inflammatory bowel diseases

A

crohns disease
ulcerative colitis

103
Q

what is the most common surgical emergency

A

appendicitis

104
Q

whats the releationship between CF and CFTR

A

CFTR is missing an amino acid, and therefore breaks down - cannot reach the cell membrane to transport chloride ions

105
Q

what is appendicitis

A

inflammation of vermiform appendix

106
Q

what is a hernia

A

a little bit of the intestine gets pushed through the abdominal wall and gets stuck there

107
Q

How do bacteria in our digestive system get their nutrition

cancer of the epithelial cells

109
Q

what are some clinical signs of UC

pooping more often
bleeding
pain
fever

Q

how do you diagnose celiac

A

do blood work to look for antibodies

get an intestinal biopsy

111
Q

what is different between irritable bowel and colitis

A

irritable bowel doesnt damage the intestinal wall nor does it have an increased risk of colorectal cancer

112
Q

who do gastric ulcers affect most

A

55-65 year olds

113
Q

describe osmotic diarrhea

A

a non-absorbable substance in intestine draws water into lumen by osmosis

114
Q

Name the intestinal obstruction:
a little bit of the intestine gets pushed through the abdominal wall and gets stuck there

A

Hernia

115
Q

how many bands of longitudinal muscle are there in the large intestine

A

3

116
Q
