Q

What is GI function?

A

Take relatively large, solids or gels, and digest them into smaller molecules that can be absorbed as nutrients, while still serving as a secondary nervous system (ENS) and a barrier to toxins, bacteria, parasites, etc

Q

What is the cephalic response?

A

The intensity of response varies with food type (sweet, sour, salty, bitter) to influence our preference, digestion, and possibly energy balance

Q

What is the two-stage model of saliva secretion?

A

Primary vs Secondary

  • Primary: ptyalin, mucous, extracellular fluid, Amylase containing; nearly isotonic; levels of Na, K, cl, and HCO3 similar to plasma (acinar cells)
  • Secondary: K and HCO3, Modification of ionic content (ductal cells)

Q

What is Salivary Secretion: Acinar Cell Mechanisms

A
  • Secretion of K+ and HCO3-
  • Acinar cells also secrete enzymes including alpha-amylase, lingual lipase, and kallikrein and immunoglobulin A (IgA)

Q

What do salivary ductal cells do?

A

Ductal cells modify initial saliva to produce final saliva

  • absorb Na+ and Cl-, decreasing concentrations in saliva
  • secrete K+ and HCO3-, increasing concentrations in saliva
  • salivary HCO3- neutralizes oral bacterial acids

Q

What is swallowing coordinated by?

A

The swallowing reflex is coordinated by the medulla oblongata, which transmits the contraction of skeletal muscle, sphincters, and smooth muscle groups.

Somatic CN (conscious) to chew then ANS takes over (involuntary)

Q

Explain how food moves.

Q

What are the pressures of UES, LES and intraespophageal?

A
  • UES: 100 mm Hg
  • Intraesophageal Pressure: -5 mm Hg
  • LES: 20 mm Hg
25
Q

What does sphincters prevent?

A

prevent influx of air into the stomach, as well as reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus.

26
Q

What are the states that the GI sphincter can be in ?

A
  • Resting State: Tone/Closed
  • Relaxation/Open
  • Constriction/Tightly Closed
27
Q

What is happening in the resting state?

A

tone/closed

  • Pressure in Sphincter > Adjacent Segments
  • Inhibits movement through the sphincter
28
Q

What happens in the relaxation/open phase of GI sphincters?

A
  • Pressure in Sphincter = Adjacent Segments
  • Allows movements through sphincter
29
Q

What is happening in the constriction/tightly closed state of the GI sphincters?

A
  • Pressure in Sphincter&raquo_space; Adjacent Segments
  • Important to prevent the flow
30
Q

For lower esophagus, what two things are going on?

A
31
Q

Distension in the esophagus can initiate what?

A

peristalsis through both local and vago-vagal reflexes (Note: Ach (contraction) and nitric oxide (relaxation) are major mediators)

32
Q

what can occur to clear any remnants of food bolus?

A

secondary peristaltic waves

33
Q

Dysphagia can result from?

A
  • Can result from abnormalities that alter the mechanics of swallowing (e.g. GERD, Achalasia, Cancer)
  • Can also arise secondary to neurological problems (e.g. patients with a stroke or ALS)
34
Q

What are the espohageal stimuli with the receptor and response?

A
35
Q

ingestion of cold substances can cause what?

A
36
Q

What are common factors that alter LES pressure?

A
37
Q

What is the GERD therapy?

A
38
Q

What is happens to the stomach during swallowing?

A

receptive relaxation: Decreased SM Tone & Increased Stomach Compliance

  • Also: Increased Acid Secretion
