LEC 5 Flashcards
Gastric factors that promote emptying
- The amount of chyme in the stomach.
- The degree of fluidity of the chyme
- Type of food ingested (present in the stomach)
The amount of chyme in the stomach
1.↑food volume in the stomach→↑emptying
from the stomach
2.tension in stomach wall >stimulus for peristalsis
The degree of fluidity of the chyme in the stomach
increase fluidity influences gastric emptying.
Type of food ingested (present in the stomach)
a) Carbohydrate
b. Protein
c. Fat
Type of food causes rapid gastric emptying
Carbohydrate
Type of food ingested causes slow gastric emptying
Protein
Type of food ingested causes slowest gastric emptying
Fat
The rate of emptying of a high-fat meal is
six hours
The rate of emptying of a protein and carbohydrate meal is
three hours.
high protein food especially meat stimulate release of
gastrin
Duodenal factors that inhibits stomach emptying
- The presence of any degree of irritation of the duodenal mucosa
- The degree of distension of the duodenum
- The degree of acidity of the duodenal chyme.
- The degree of osmolality of the chyme
- Type of food.
The degree of distension of the duodenum
Slow or even stop stomach emptying if the volume of chyme in the duodenum
becomes too much
The degree of acidity of the duodenal chyme
Acid un-neutralized acid in the duodenum inhibits further empty
↑ acid → ↓ emptying of acidic
gastric contents
enterogastric means
from duodenum to stomach
enterogastric inhibitory reflexes
sensitive to the presence of irritants and acids in the duodenal chyme
2.activated within as little as 30 seconds
the reflexes when the chyme in the duodenum falls below about 3.5 to 4
block release of acidic stomach contents
2.pancreatic enzyme
The rate of gastric emptying is fastest when the stomach contents are
isotonic
The rate of gastric emptying is slowed when the stomach contents
hypertonic or hypotonic
The hypo-osmolar chyme in duodenum causes
distention of osmo-receptor, which causes mild inhibition of gastric emptying
hyperosmolar chyme in duodenum causes
shrinkage of osmo-receptor, which causes marked inhibition of gastric emptying.
Type of food.
When glucose, fat, or amino meet the duodenal mucosa inhibitory mechanisms decrease the fundic pressure and thereby slow the gastric emptying of nutrients.
Hyper-tonicity:
Large volumes of water entering the intestine from the plasma lead to intestinal distension,
more importantly, circulatory disturbances ensue كلب علبى يترتبbecause of the reduction in plasma
volume.
To prevent these effects, gastric emptying is reflexly inhibited when the osmolarity of the duodenal
content starts to rise.
The possible mechanism of duodenal factors that inhibits stomach emptying
↓entro-gastric reflex):
• Hormonal feedback from the duodenum inhibits gastric emptying
slow or even stop stomach emptying
- multiple nervous reflexes
2. the volume of chyme
entro-gastric reflexes have two effects on stomach emptying
First, they strongly inhibit the “pyloric pump” propulsive contractions, and
Second, they increase the tone of the pyloric sphincter
entro-gastric reflexs are mediated by three routes
1.directly from the enteric nervous system in the gut wall
2.extrinsic nerves→ the pre-vertebral sympathetic ganglia →back through
inhibitory sympathetic nerve fibers to the stomach
3.vagus nerves→ brain stem→ ↓ the normal excitatory signals transmitted to the stomach through the vagi.
normal excitatory signals transmitted to the stomach through
vagi
Hormonal feedback from the duodenum inhibits gastric emptying
- CCK
- GIP
- secretin
The degree of fluidity of the chyme leaving the stomach depends on
food,
water, and
stomach secretions and on the
degree of digestion that has occurred
effect of CCK on gastric emptying
inhibition
CCK can inhibit gastric emptying when
a. excess quantities of chyme
b. acidic or fatty chyme,
Secretin released from the duodenum in response to
acid
Chyme
After food in the stomach has become thoroughly mixed with the stomach secretions, the resulting
mixture that passes down the gut
The appearance of chyme

Motility of Fasted Stomach
- Migrating Motor Complex (MMC)
2. Hunger Contractions
Periodic phasic contraction occurring at
regular and low frequency, once /6-20 min
Function of MMC
1) It clears stomach from indigestible residues.
2) It prevents duodeno-gastric reflux
Migrating Motor Complex (MMC) Mechanism
strength is increased by motilin hormone
