Q

What are the 3 steps in transcellular transport of Ca2+ into duodenum

A
  1. Apical uptake of Ca2+ via electrochemical gradient
  2. Ca2+ binds calbindin which maintains low concentration. (Vit D increases expression of calbindin)
  3. Basolateral Na/Ca2+ exchanger pumps Ca2+ out

Q

Fe2+ exits basolateral membrane via

24
Q

___ promotes intestinal absorption and solubilization (Reduces Fe3+ to Fe2+)

A

Gastric acid

25
What is transferrin
Required for plasma transport of Fe
26
What is ferritin
Intracellular storage depot for Fe to be released in a controlled fashion
27
What are the fat soluble vitamins
A, D, E, and K
28
How are fat soluble vitamins absorbed
Solubilized and transported in Micelles, enter circulation in chylomicrons
29
What are the water soluble vitamins
B1, B2, B6, B12, C, biotin, folate, pantothenic acid
30
How are water soluble vitamins absorbed
Na+ dependent co-transport
31
B12 binds to ___ which protects it from digestion
Gastric intrinsic factor
32
What artery supplies the stomach, 1st part of duodenum, head, pancreas and liver
Celiac
33
What artery supplies the remainder of pancreas, gut through 2/3 transverse colon
Cranial mesenteric
34
What artery supplies distal colon and proximal rectum
Caudal mesenteric
35
The fraction of cardiac output to gut ___after meal
Increases
36
What vein collects blood from stomach, small and large intestines
Hepatic portal vein
37
Nutrient rich blood enters __, which regulates nutrient concentration
Liver
38
Blood runs through two capillary beds __ and ___ before it returns to heart
Mesenteric, portal
39
What drives blood through mesenteric and portal capillary beds
1. Pressure in portal vein is slightly greater than that of hepatic sinusoids. 2. Resistance in sinusoids in much lower
40
Postprandial hyperemia dependent on constituents of ingesta. __ and __ promote hyperemia
Bile acids and fats
41
How does increased resistance in the liver affect the intestine
Reduces blood flow, portal hypertension
42
Right heart insufficiency increases vena cava pressure which leads to ___blood flow to intestine
Decrease
43
How does SNS stimulation affect intestinal circulation resistance
Increases it
44
If there is subnormal blow flow to GI what happens to intestines
Can die, subnormal at tip of villus causing ischemia, tissue damage and cell death
45
Describe countercurrent exchange in the villus
Oxygen begins to diffuse from arterial to venous blood without reaching capillaries at tip of villus Creates oxygen gradient from tip (low oxygen) to base (high oxygen)
46
How does low blood flow affect countercurrent exchange in villi
Further reduces amount of O2 getting to tip of villus can result in cell death
47
How does solute concentration in arterial blood change at the tip of villus if blood flow is low and transit time is prolonged
Solute concentration increases, trapping them near tip of villus Consequences for nutrient absorption and water movement
48
Describe what happens during exercise induced heat stress
1. Thermoregulatory mechanisms in effect 2. Blood flow shunted from GI to skin 3. If temperatures continue to rise and mechanism can’t compensate then will result in intestinal ischemia 4. Release of endotoxins 5. Systemic inflammatory response and coagulation cascade 6. Multi-organ failure or death
49
What are some examples of short term adaptations of GI
1. Modulation of membranous enzymatic set up 2. Modulation of blood supply (metabolic demands, postprandial hyperemia) 3. Increase absorptive SA(villi hypertrophy)
50
Mesenteric blood flow rates ___in response to metabolic demands during milk production
Increase
51
What GI adaptions are seen in a python after a meal
Lengthening of intestinal villi and rapdily decresse intestimal pH from 7 to 2
52
How do hibernating animals adapt their GI system
Reduce required rates of oxygen consumption
53
How does a patient with an irreversible intestinal injury (resection) undergo GI adaption
Remaining length of intestine will hypertrophic and increase absorptive capability. Villus hypertrophy
54
If the ileum is resected what happens to fat, bile salt and VitB 12 absorption
Decrease as ileum is main site
55
If the colon is resected what happens to VFA absorption
Decreases
56
How do you treat animals post intestinal resection
Give highly digestible foods, short, frequent feedings, water electrolytes, energy and protein
