  • Still has intestinal glands/crypts with Goblet cells and enterocytes
27
Q

Appendix

A
  • Narrow lumen
  • Lymphatic nodules in LP
  • Replenish intestinal flora
28

  • Muscularis externa longitudinal
  • Myenteric/Auerbach’s plexus
  • Muscularis externa circular
  • Submucosa (contains Submucosal/Meissner’s plexus)
  • Muscularis mucosa

30
Q

Secretin

A
  • S cells in duodenum
  • (+) fluid and bicarb from pancreas
  • (+) bicarb from liver
  • inhibit acid secretion and gastrin release
  • Stimuli : acidification of small intestine
31
Q

Gastrin

A

-G cells in antrum and duodenum
- (+) acid secretion by parietal cells
- (+) somatostatin secretion by D cells (indirectly)
-Stimuli:
Vagal Stimulation
- Ach (Acetylcholine)
- GRP (Gastrin Releasing Peptide)
Distension of stomach
Amino acids/peptides in duodenum

32
Q

CCK

A

-I cells in small intestine
- (+) enzymatic secretion of pancreas
- (+) gall bladder contraction, relax sphincter of Oddi > bile delivery to duodenum
- (+) pancreatic growth
- inhibit gastric emptying
-Stimuli:
Presence of following in small intestine:
- Fatty Acids (strongest stimulus)
- Peptides/Amino acids

33
Q

GIP

A

-Endocrine cells of duodenum, jejunum
- (+) insulin secretion by endocrine pancreas
- inhibit gastric acid secretion
- Stimuli
Presence of following in small intestine
- Carbohydrates (strongest stimulus)
- peptides/amino acids
- fatty acids

34
Q

Motilin

A
  • M cells in duodenum and proximal jejunum
  • Stimulate MMC during fasting (gastric and intestinal motility pattern during fasting, “housekeeper”
  • Stimuli: interaction with enteric NS to stimulate MMC during fasting
35
Q

Somatostatin

A
  • D cells in antrum and oxyntic (fundic) gland area
  • inhibit gastrin (G cells), histamine (ECL), acid (parietal) release
  • Stimuli: low pH in antrum
36
Q

Histamine

A
  • ECL cells

- Acid secretion

37
Q

Hirschsprung’s disease

A
  • ENS missing from end of bowel
  • Failure of bowel colonization by enteric neural crest derived precursor cells during fetal development
  • Region tonically contracted > functional obstruction
  • Symptoms: abdominal distension, vomiting, severe constipation, failure to grow, bowel inflammation and early death
38
Q

Regions of phasic contractions

A

Esophagus, anrtal sotmach, small intestine (busy regions)

39
Q

Regions of tonic contractions

A

Non-busy regions (sphincters, orad stomach)

40
Q

Interstitial cells of Cajal

A
  • Form network in space between circular and longitudinal muscle layers in regions of gut that generate segmental or phasic contractions
  • Generate slow waves and conduct them to smooth muscle cells via gap junctions
41
Q

General response to meal

A
  • Gut distention by bolus
  • Stretching is sensed and stimulates nerves to release neurotransmitters into the smooth muscle at the site
  • Membrane potential is depolarized (in response to the neurotransmitter)
  • Slow wave passes through this sensitized smooth muscle
  • Spike potential form = contraction
  • Contraction moves in a coordinated fashion because muscle cells are electrically coupled through gap junctions
