Q

what anatomical features of the colon ensure that peristalsis is modified? [2]

how does bolus move along colon? (2)

A

what anatomical features of the colon ensure that peristalsis is modified?
- get bulges of outer circular muscle (haustra), which are held together by three bands of circular muscle: taenia

- taenia can contract in either direction

how does bolus move along colon? (2)

- constrictive ring occurs (giant migrating concentration) and haustra disappear (!) from a portion of the ascending colon

~20cm of the colon distal to the constrictive ring lose their haustrations and contract as a unit, propelling faecal material into the transverse colon

Q

which hormone is released when have hypocalcemia?

what is it effects? (3)

what is 1. inhibited by?

A

fall in calcium: PTH (parathryoid hormone) rises - restores calcium back to normal by:

  • Increased renal Ca++ reabsorption.
  • Increased bone Ca++ release.
  • Increased gut absorption via release of vitamin D (1,25vitD).

The release if PTH is inhibited by raised Ca++ levels.

Q

Q

which antibody is commonly (1/200) deficient?
why is this very often not recognised?

A

A

IgA deficiency is quite common, yet no one knows they have it.

This is because IgM has a J chain so IgM undergoes a compensatory response and does the same job IgA would

Q

how does pit. gland control FSH & LH hormone release?

why is it more complex in women then men?

A

hypothalamic hormones: GnRH + kisspeptin

regulate release of: FSH and LH from pituitary.

what normally prevents defecation? (2)

A
  • *defecation prevented by:**
  • Tone of internal anal sphincter & puborectalis

51
Q

how does hypothalamus communicate with the anterior pit. gland? and posterior pit gland?

A
  • hypothalamic hormone binds to anterior pituitary cell target (all are stimulatory except Dopamine which is inhibitory) via portal system
  • causes release of anterior pituitary hormone - releaed into blood
  • hypothalamus have long axons that cause release of posterior pituitary hormones (ADH and oxytocin)
52
Q

Adrenal gland has different cells: ZG, ZF and ZR that all secrete different hormones

how do u produce many different hormones from same organ?

A
  • different enzymes expressed in the different zones (e.g. ZG/ ZF/ ZR will express different horomones) - causes cholerestrol to be turned into different things
53
Q

what is the squamocolumnar junction?

A

squamocolumnar junction: abrupt change in the mucosa from stratified squamous (oesphagus) to columnar cells (stomach) (and glands)

54
Q

Q

what two things specifically make u hungry?

A
  • release of hormone ghrelin
  • *- phase three of migrating motor complex**
55
Q

draw basic structure of IgA, IgM, IgG, IgD, IgE
