Phisiology Flashcards
Parasympathetic input of the hindgut comes from which nerves
Pelvic splanchnic nerves
Layer of the pylorus that gets hypertrophied in hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
Muscularis externa
Digestive tract developmental defect that is associated with the development of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia
Intestinal malrotation
Small bowel atresias are due to what developmental pathologic process
Vascular accidents (midgut)
Volvulus develops from midgut malrotation during which developmental weeks
6th to 10th
Defective closure of the lateral body folds leads to what pathology
Gastroschisis
Derivatives of the dorsal pancreatic bud
Neck, body, and tail
Derivatives of the ventral pancreatic bud
Head and uncinate process
A failure of the pancreatic ducts to fuse leads to what pathology
Pancreas divisum
Mucus-secreting glands lie within which layer of the gut wall
Submucosa
Location and function of Meissner’s plexus
- Located in the submucosa
- Parasympathetic input
- Secretory motor innervation
Location and function of Auerbach’s plexus
- Located between the muscle layers of the muscularis externa
- Parasympathetic and sympathetic input
- Intrinsic motility and peristalsis
Describe the blood supply to the esophagus (upper, middle, and lower thirds)
- Upper: inferior thyroid artery branches
- Middle: bronchial arteries and aorta
- Lower: inferior phrenic artery and left gastric artery branches
Part of the esophagus that is drained by the portal system
The lower third
Describe the blood supply to the stomach
- Left gastric artery (celiac trunk)
- Right gastric artery (common hepatic)
- Right gastroepiploic (gastroduodenal)
- Left gastroepiploic (splenic)
- Short gastric arteries (splenic)
Type of cells that secrete pepsinogen
Chief cells
