Q

cephalic phase of acid secretion (what triggers afferents and pathway)

A

chemoreceptors and central pathways trigger afferent impulses that are relayed to vagal nucleus
then vagal efferent nerves carry impulses to stomach

31
Q

the vagus nerve increases acid section by what two mechanisms during cephalic phase of acid secretion?

A

ACh directly stimulates parietal cell

ACh causes release of GRP

32
Q

the gastric phase of acid secretion is initiated by what?

A

entry of food into stomach

33
Q

gastric phase of acid secretion (what does it do)

A

buffers acid, raising pH from about 2 to as high as 6

34
Q

what does the rise in pH during the gastric phase of acid secretion permit?

A

vagal stimulation from cephalic phase to initiate, and stimuli fro gastric phase to maintain, gastrin release

35
Q

during gastric phase of acid secretion distention of stomach actives what?

A

mechanoreceptors

36
Q

activation of mechanoreceptors during gastric phase of acid secretion initiates what?

A

local and vasovagal reflexes

which stimulate gastrin release via GRP and acid secretion via ACh

37
Q

during gastric phase what is the only major nutrient that can stimulate gastric secretion

A

digested protein (must be broken down into peptides and amino acids- direct chemical release of gastrin from G cells)

38
Q

caffeine has what effect on stomach acid secretion

A

stimulates it

39
Q

intestinal phase of stomach acid secretion is initiated by what

A

presence of protein digestion products in duodenum (gastrin)

distention (hormonal/nervous mechanisms)

40
Q

what part of duodenum secretes gastrin and thus stimulates acid secretion

41
Q

what are the two types of peptic ulcers

A

gastric

duodenal

42
Q

gastric ulcers are caused by what?

A

proactive barrier of stomach breaks down, leading to injury of gastric mucosa by acid and pepsin

43
Q

where are gastric ulcers usually found

A

distal stomach

44
Q

in gastric ulcers what occurs the H+ secretion into the stomach

A

reduced because some acid leaks into gastric mucosa

45
Q

what type of peptic ulcer is most common

46
Q

in duodenal ulcers patients tend to have increased levels of what?

A

acid, gastrin, and pepsin

47
Q

in some patients with duodenal ulcers pepsin can do what?

A

potentiates ulcer formation initiated by acid

48
Q

patients with duodenal cancers may have high levels of acid and pepsin, this would do what?

A

damage cells lining duodenum

49
Q

patients with duodenal ulcers may have defects in what mechanism?

defense mechanism against acid

50
Q

in some patients with duodenal ulcers there bicarbonate secretion is what compared to normal

51
Q

what are the cause of damage in peptic ulcers (name them

A

Helicobacter pylori infection
NSAIDs
alcohol

52
Q

Helicobacter pylori infection does what

A

breaks down gastric epithelial barrier

in duodenum- inhibits secretion of somatostatin, allowing increased gastrin release and acid production

53
Q

almost all ulcer patients have what type of infection

A

helicobacter pylori

54
Q

helicobacter pylori thrives in stomach because it can produce large quantities of what?

55
Q

urease (what is it)

A

produces by H pylori

an enzyme that generates ammonia to neutralize the acid that quickly kills other bacteria

56
Q

H. pylori contributes to ulcers how?

A

thinning the protective mucus layer
poisoning nearby cells with ammonia or other toxins
or even byincreasing acid production

57
Q

treatment for ulcers include

A

antibiotics (H. pylori)
proton-pump inhibitors (block (H+,K+) ATPase
usually two antibiotics and proton-ump inhibitor; may add Pepto-Bismol

58
Q

what is another term for emesis

forceful expulsion of gastric and intestinal contents through mouth

60
Q

emises (vomiting) is a protective mechanism for what?

A

to rid body of noxious or toxic substances

61
Q

is vomiting always accompanied with nausea

62
Q

is nausea always accompanied with vomiting

63
Q

where do the waves of contractions begin during emesis (and what does this do)

A

distal small intestine, moving GI contents toward stomach

64
Q

retching (what is it)

A

involves all of involuntary motions f vomiting without production of vomitus`

65
Q

before or during emesis discharge of autonomic nervous system leads to what?

A

increased salivation and sweating
rapid breathing
irregular heartbeat

66
Q

where is the vomiting center located

67
Q

the vomiting center is activated by afferent impulses triggered by?

A 
ticking back of through (via NTS)
distention of stomach or duodenum
vestibular stimulation (motion sickness)
intense pain
sights and smells
68
Q

direct activation of the vomiting center causes what?

A

vomiting without nausea or retching

69
Q

what leads to retching without vomiting

A

stimulating of second separate medullary area

70
Q

chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ)

(where is it and what activates itP

A

in area postrema

activated by emetics, radiation, and motion sickness

71
Q

vomiting center ahs receptors present where?

A

duodenum and, to lesser extent, stomach

72
Q

morning sickness (why does it happen)

A

believed to have evolved to protect fees early in development when toxins can cause most damage

73
Q

“hyperemesis of pregnancy” (what is it)

A

about 5/1000 pregnant women have severe nausea and vomiting that causes them to lose weight

74
Q

nausea affects about what percentage of pregnant woman

75
Q

vomiting affects about what percentage of pregnant women

76
Q

what are the effects of protracted vomiting

A

metabolic alkalosis due to loss of gastric acid
hypokalemia due to loss of K+ in vomitus and decreased K+ uptake
hyponatremia due to loss of Na+ in vomitus
dehydration
