Physiology II

 

What are the main influences that will start motility (3)?

contact, distension, irritation

 

cephalic phase of secretion--thinking of food causes salivation

 

basal rhythm--continuous movement of GI tract, clears mucous and acid, even while you are sleeping

--sphincters relax while you are sleeping

 

Movement

mouth--chew--voluntary and involuntary, salivation

     Sjorngien's Syndrome--autoimmune disorder, salivary and lacrimal glands disrupted--can't taste

 

pharyngeal receptors--up to this point, you still have voluntary control

peristalsis--2 types of muscles, longitudinal and circular

 

Receptive relaxation--relaxation of the next section that is not ready to receive the bolus

 

Megaesophagus (Achalasia)--failure of receptive relaxation at the cardiac sphincter--food backs up in the esophagus and stretches it

 

Stomach--storage organ, initiates the first part of digestion, food accumulates in stomach around the walls, begins motility, begins in fundal region, and moves downward and builds strength, mixes w/ acid, h20, mucous producing chyme (an acid milk shake) controls the fxn of the rest of the GI tract--gastric emptying--motility and rate of absorption in small intestine--pyloric sphincter, strongest sphincter in the body, almost acts as a barrier prevent acid from moving into small intestine, and aides in churning the stomach (retro propulsion)

dumping syndrome--after abdominal surgery, everything moves from the stomach into small intestine

-deliver in small amounts to aide in digestion and absorption along w/ neutralizing the acid

 

Small Intestine--pockets of constriction, have control if too much is dumped into the small intestine under enteric control--Enterogastric reflex--starts in small intestine and goes to the stomach--too much distension or irritation, slows down the stomach

(segmented movement of peristalsis)

 

Large Intestine--

constipation--reduced colonic motility

colon when becomes over filled, no reason to continue filling small intestine

 

colonoilio reflex--colon is too full, reduces motility of small intestine, reduces emptying into small intestine

 

lipid slows down the motility

 

gatrocolic reflex--cleans out colon shortly after eating to make room for what was just eaten

 

other nervous systems augment the GI system

 

iliocecal valve--2 flap valve, when contents of large intestine backup, it closes

appendix--at about the same point as iliocecal valve

 

Large Intestine--walled off segments (Haustra), fluid--pull out water and some minerals

-compartmentalized, turned over for water absorption

-becomes more solid as moves into transverse colon and so on

 

Native Japanese--large amount of stomach cancer

                little colon cancer

Immigrant Japanese--a little less stomach cancer

                   more colon cancer

1st generation Japanese--little stomach cancer

                 more colon cancer

 

Americans--little stomach cancer

           high colon cancer

 

motility is important for reduction of neoplasms in colon--gets rid of yucky stuff

 

colon--mass movements

 

defecation reflex--rectum is full, musts be emptied soon

voiding is augmented by parasympathetic nerves

 

SECRETION

-mucous, enzymes (substrate, proper environment), hormones (communicating molecule)(4 hormones--gastrin from the stomach, CCK (Chole cysto kinin) from duodenum for big junks of protein and lipid, Secretin from duodenum for acid, Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) duodenum to slow down gastric activity

G cells--in antrial portion of stomach, monitor protein segment size--inappropriate digestion, limits emptying

Gastrin--stimulate gastric pits to pepsid and HCl

CCK--produced by I cell, below pylorus, a lot of lipid leaving stomach, slows down gastric emptying, lipid is difficult to absorb so takes longer

     -stimulates enzyme releasing areas of pancreas, acniar

Secretin--S cells in response to too much acid

     2 things

     1.  reduces gastric emptying

     2.  release bicarbonate, Ductual cells of pancreas

3 Phases of Secretion

1.  Cephalic--mouth watering thought

     stimulus--vagus response, chewing, swallowing, smell,         taste

stimulate at parietal cell--Ach

peptic cell (Chief cell)--produce pepsinogen, inactive protease (enzymes are released as an inactive enzyme) goes up the pit to parietal cell (produces HCl and intrinsic B12) HCl activates pepsinogen to produce active pepsin

neck cell secrete mucous, dense and viscous protects against autodigestion

peptic ulcer--digestion of gastric lining

     -wound must be present before bacteria invade and cause them to enlarge

HCl acts in digestion by breaking into smaller pieces but necessarily individual amino acids

Tributyrase--short chain fatty acids

Collaginases--breaks up collagen fibers, protein connective tissue

40% carbohydrate broken down in stomach

Ach aides in HCl release

2.  Gastric

3.  Intestinal
