lecture 1 inflammation of the bowel Flashcards
where are most nutrients absorbed
small intestine
divisions of the small intestine
duodenum
jejunum
ileum
what does the duodenum do to proteins
peptidases which breaks them down into amino acids
what does the duodenum do to fat
emulsifies it
what happens in the jejunum
absorption of smaller molecules like sugars, amino acids and fatty acids
where is vitamin B12 absorbed
ileum
small intestine epithelium
columnar
absorption cells in the small intestine
enterocytes
where are endocrine cells in the small intestine
in the crypts
what do the endocrine cells in the small intestine secrete
hormones for motility
where are brunners glands found
duodenum
what are brunners glands
submucosal glands which have alkaline secretions to neutralise stomach acids
lymphoid tissue found in the small intesting
preyers patch
where would you find preyers patches
terminal ilieum
what is the large intestine for
storage and elimination of food residues
where is water absorbed
large intestine
when do you find paneth cells
right colon
where in the wall of the large intestine is the nerve plexuses
muscularis propria and subserosa
what is coeliac disease

when does coeliac disease present
childhood
men or women coeliac
women
strong association of coeliac disease and what gene
HLA-DQ2
what can sensitivity to gliadin in coeliac disease be triggered by
viral infection
classical presentation of coeliac disease
weight loss, chronic diarrhoea and failure to thrive
non classic presentation of coeliac disease
IBS, abdominal pain, altered bowel habit and anaemia
why might you be anaemic with coeliac disease
duodenum is the site of iron absorption
what skin condition can glidin cause
dermatitis herpetiformis
what would the clinician do if they suspected coeliac diseaee
tissue transglutaminase antibody blood test
how do the villi in coeliac disease appear
blunted and broad
ratio between the villus height and the crypts is reduced
crypt hyperplasia
