33
Q

If undigested foods are reaching the distal small intestine, then ? “slows everything down” – not just gastric motility, but motility of the proximal intestines as well

A

peptide YY

34
Q

when would the ileocecal valve forcefully close?

A

when excess pressure builds up in cecum

35
Q

where are Brunner’s glands found?

A

found proximal to the sphincter of Oddi

36
Q

what does brunner’s glands secrete

A

secrete alkaline mucous

37
Q

what is the function of brunner’s glands

A

protect duodenal wall from digestion by gastric juice

38
Q

what regulates the release of bile into the dudodenum fromt eh ampulla of vater

Q

if the sphincter of Oddi is closed, then bile is stored where?

Q

“outside” of the micelle is what? “inside of the micelle is ?

A

hydrophillic
hydrophobic with the dieatary lipids

68
Q

When absorption at the small intestine fails, nutrients remain in the lumen of the intestine. This can result in:

A
  • diarrhea
  • micronutrient deficiency
  • macronutrient deficiencies
69
Q

Types of malabsorption can be pathophysiologically organized into four major problems:

A
  • disturbances in intraluminal digestion
  • disturbances in terminal digestion
  • disturbances in transepithelial transport
  • disturbances in lymphatic transport
70
Q

celiac disease is what type of malabsorption

A

terminal and trans-epithelial

71
Q

explain basic celiac disease

A

Damage to the villi and microvilli results in loss of surface area and overall absorptive enterocyte function

72
Q

explain basic chronic pancreatitis

A

Lack of major digestive enzymes from the pancreas leads to major impairment of absorption, diarrhea, and nutrient deficiencies

73
Q

explain basic disaccharidase deficiencies (lactose intolerance)

A

Lack of disaccharide results in unabsorbed sugar in the lumen
->bacterial gas production and osmotic diarrhe

74
Q

explain gastroenteritis

A

Damage to the brush border or dysregulation of electrolyte transport results in impaired ability to absorb nutrients

75
Q

chronic pancreatitis is what type of malabsorption

A

intraluminal digestion

76
Q

disaccharidase deficiencies is what type of malabsorption

A

terminal digestion

77
Q

gastroenteritis is what type of malabsorption

A

terminal and trans-epithelial
