Test 2: 6 diarrhea Flashcards
small intestine micro anatomy
Slender villi lined by “leaky” epithelial cells
Enterocyte microvilli increase absorptive surface area AND contain digestive enzymes
Crypts = regenerative epithelium
crypts in small intestine contain
regenerative epithelium (also secrete fluid via ANS
stimulation)
— are lymphatic ducts within each villus
lacteals
large intestine micro anatomy
no villi
main job absorb fluid
tight junction
Lymphangiectasia
lacteals which are lymphatic ducts in the villus of the intestine get blocked and become dilated
intestine, what kind of exudate
mucus- catarrhal
caused by endoparasitism &
proliferative enteritis (eg
Lawsonia)
what two viruses will cause hemorrhage in the intestine
(Salmonella, Clostridium
diphtheritic membranes are made of
Fibrin + Hemorrhage Neutrophils + Cell Debris
secondary to virulent pathogens that cause necrosis (salmonella and clostridium)
crypt abscesses in intestine is caused by —
parvovirus
will cause villi blunting, damage and fusion
what causes crypt hyperplasia in intestine
Lawsonia intracellularis
fibrosis in the intestine can lead to
Bowel stenosis→ Altered peristalsis→ abnormal microflora proliferation→ dysmotility!
Lymphangiectasia→ protein exudation/effusion!
Decreased digestion and absorption from loss of enterocytes→ Malabsorp/maldigest!
granulomatous inflammation have what cells
epithelioid macrophages and multi nucleated giant cells
Lymphangiectasia - dilated lymphatic ducts
caused increased hydrostatic pressure and protein losing enteropathy
Lymphangiectasia causes
Increased hydrostatic pressure or decreased lymphatic drainage) → Protein Losing Enteropathy
more fluid in the poop, fluid stays in poop instead of being absorbed and causes diarrhea
intestine
muscular hypertrophy due to
Altered peristalsis: parasites, IBD
Chronic obstruction (FB, intramural mass)
Idiopathic (enteric nervous system?)
muscular hypertrophy of the intestinal wall will predispose — and —
obstruction and rupture
what three things cause muscular hypertrophy of intestinal wall
Altered peristalsis: parasites, IBD
Chronic obstruction (FB, intramural mass)
Idiopathic (enteric nervous system?)
Enteritis
inflammation of small intestine
Ileitis
small intestine (just ileum)
Colitis
colon inflammation
Typhlitis
cecum (typhl- [G] blind)
Enterocolitis
small intestine and colon
Gastroenteritis
stomach and small intestine
Typhlocolitis
cecum and colon
Proctitis
rectum
— is the Secretion of abnormally fluid
feces accompanied by
◼ Increased volume of feces ◼ Increased frequency of
defecation
diarrhea
4 mechanisms of diarrhea
- Hypersecretion
2.Malabsorption/maldigestion
- Exudation/Effusion (passive)
* Damaged or obstructed capillaries, lymphatics, necrosis/erosion/ulcer - Deranged intestinal motility
how does diarrhea from hypersecretion work
bacteria will bind to membrane and secrete enterotoxins activate cAMP and cGMP that cause fluid secretion
will resolve quickly after bacteria is killed
why does fasting have no effect on hypersecretion diarrhea
bacteria linked to cells to cause increased fluid secretion
no function change
what will cause hypersecretion diarrhea
Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC)
hypersecretion diarrhea will cause
dehydration and perineal staining
chyle in lacteals normal but excess watery fluid in GI
what will ETEC do to enterocytes
no damage or ulcers
will just trigger cAMP and cGMP to produce fluid causing hypersecretory diarrhea
