Where is calcium primarily absorbed
duodenum
produced by D cells
somatostatin
Produced by G cells
Gastrin
Produced by I cells
Cholecystokinin
Produced by M cells
Motilin
Produced by L cells
- peptide YY
2. Glucagon like peptide
Produced by S cells
Secretin
Inhibits Gi secretion, motility and splanchnic perfusion
somatostatin
Stimulates exocrine pancreatic secretion, stimulate intestinal secretion
secretin
Stimulate exocrine pancreatic secretion, stimulate gallbladder emptying
cholecystokinin
stimulate intestinal motility
motilin

Most common cause of small bowel obstruction
intraabdominal adhesion
What portion of the duodenum is compressed in superior mesenteric artery syndrome
3rd portion of duodenum
What is the confirmatory test of small bowel obstruction
abdominal series
Triad of small bowel obstruction in radiograph
- dilated small bowel loops >3 cm
- air fluid level
- paucity of air in the colon
What is another name for acute colonic pseudo obstruction
ogilvie syndrome
treatment of ogilvie syndrome
IV neostigmine
Iv atropine to counteract bradycardia
What is the normal temporal pattern of GI motility
24 hours - small intestine
48 hours - gastric motility
3 - 5 days - colonic motility
Inraoperative measure to reduce ileus
- minimize handling of bowel
- laparoscopic approach
- avoid exxcessive intraoperative fluid administration
Post operative measures to reduce ileus
- early enteral feeding
- epidural anesthesia, if indicated
- avoid excessive IV fluid administration
- correct electrolyte abnormality
- consider M opioid antagonist
Treatment of crohn’s disease
Sulfasalazine + steroids
