module 13 Upper GI tract, PUD, GERD Flashcards
fundus
mucus secreting cells
body
parietal cells
chief cells
parietal cells
secrete acid, intrinsic factor
- stimulated by Ach, gastrin, and histamine
- regulated through positive and negative feedback
chief cells
secrete pepsinogen
antrum
cells that secrete gastrin
Ach and acid secretion
triggered by CNS response to food
nerve
gastrin and acid secretion
triggered by Ach stimulation of G cells in antrum
blood vessel
histamine and acid secretion
triggered by stimuli in the parietal cells
ECL cell
protection of gastric lining
mucus prostaglandin somatostatin bicarb blood flow
PUD 3 important factors with development
bacteria infection with H. pylori
NSAID use
cigarette smoking
Goals of PUD therapy
dec. gastric acidity
enhance mucosal defenses
eliminate H. pylori
NSAID induced GI damage direct
inhibit COX
- > dec. prostaglandins
- > inc. gastric acid, dec. bicarb/mucus, dec. blood flow
NSAID induced GI damage indirect
inc. neutrophil adherence to vascular endothelial cells
- > mucosal damage due to neutrophil derived free radicals and proteases
GERD
esophageal mucosa is damaged by the reflux of low pH material into the lower esophagus
- heartburn
- not caused by H. pylori
