Q

A villus is composed of

A

-absorptive columnar epithelial cells (enterocytes)
-mucus-secreting goblet cells
-Each villus secretes enzymes necessary for digestion and absorbs nutrients

Q

contains lymphocytes; plasma cells, which produce immunoglobulins; and macrophages.

A

lamina propria (a connective tissue layer of the mucosa) lies beneath the epithelial cells of the villi

Q

lactase persistence (LP).

A

-most people stop making as much lactase after breast feeding
-most are completely done between 10-15 y/o
-but some still can make lactase and digest

Q

details of lactose intolerance

A

-undigested lactose remains in the intestine,
-bacterial fermentation causes gases to form.
-Undigested lactose also increases the osmotic gradient in the intestine, causing irritation and osmotic diarrhea.

21
Q

malabsorption in celiac

A

loss of mucosal surface area and brush-border enzymes leads

22
Q

Fat malabsorption in the jejunum is the major cause of

A

steatorrhea (fatty stools)

23
Q

a cutaneous manifestation of gluten-sensitive enteropathy

A

Dermatitis herpetiformis
-blister formation on skin
-symettrical
-usually on elbows

24
Q

most common GI condition

A

IBS

25
Q

IBS classifcations

A

1.IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D), 2. IBS with constipation (IBS-C)
3. mixed IBS (IBS-M)

26
Q

origins of IBS

A
  1. Microbiome alterations from early use of antibitoics
  2. post intestinal infection
  3. Visceral hypersensitivity in gut lumen
27
Q

diet for IBS

A

low FODMAPS
-group of carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine and subsequently fermented in the small or large intestine

28
Q

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

A

-ulcerative colitis
-crohns

-genetic factors, alterations in epithelial cell barrier functions, immunopathology related to abnormal T-cell reactions to commensal microflora

29
Q

a chronic inflammatory disease that causes ulceration of
the colonic mucosa and extends proximally from the rectum into the colon

A

ulcerative colitis

30
Q

age for ulcerative colitis

A

20 and 40 years of age

31
Q

The primary lesions of UC are continuous with no skip lesions, are limited to the mucosa, and are not transmural

A

The primary lesions of UC are continuous with no skip lesions, are limited to the mucosa, and are not transmural

32
Q

where is UC most severe

A

rectum and sigmoid colon

33
Q

complications of UC

A

toxic megacolon, anal fissures, hemorrhoids, and perirectal abscess

34
Q

UC treatment

A

-5-aminosalicylic acid (mesalazine) (a type of NSAID)
-Corticosteroids and salicylates suppress the inflammatory response
-immune suppressants

35
Q

-affects any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus
-small intestine and proximal large colon are most commonly affected by the disease

A

Crohns Disease

36
Q

most common site of Crohns

A

ileocolon
-but both the large and small intestines may be involved.

37
Q

typical Crohns lession

A

-granuloma
-cobblestone projections of inflamed tissue surrounded by areas of ulceration

38
Q

does CD or UC commonly have fistulas anal fissure, perianal abscess, and fistula

A

Chrons
-fistula= abnormal connection between organs because there is a degradation of tissue
-happens in Crohns where are layers of GI are eaten away
-UC is superficial ulceration

39
Q

Crohns vs ulceravtive colitis

A

-Crohn’s =there are healthy parts of the intestine mixed in between inflamed areas. -Ulcerative colitis=is continuous inflammation of the colon and rectum

40
Q

herniations or saclike outpouchings of mucosa through the muscle layers of the colon wall

A

Diverticula

41
Q

is Diverticulosis cause symptoms or associated with inflammation

A

no

42
Q

bstruction of the diverticulum sac by fecaliths, irritation of the mucosa that causes inflammation, congestion and further obstruction.

A

diverticulitis

43
Q

diverticulitis sxs

A

abdominal pain (usually on the left side), fever, nausea, vomiting, cramps, and constipation.

44
Q

inflammation of the vermiform appendix, which is a projection from the apex of the cecum

A

Appendicitis

45
Q

most common surgical emergency of the abdomen and usually occurs between 20 and 30 years of age

A

Appendicitis

46
Q

appendix pain

A

shift of location to the right lower quadrant with rebound tenderness.

47
Q

most common internal hemorrhoids sxs

A

bleeding (painless)

48
Q

are internal or external hemorrhoids more painful

A

external

49
Q

-localized in mucosal layer
-no skip lesions
-only in colon

A

Ulcerative colitis

50
Q

-transmural inflammation, (mucosa and serosa)
-cobblestone projections
-skip lessons (anywhere from mouth to anus but not continuous)

A

Crohns Disease
