GI motility facts Flashcards
1
Q
Stimulant laxative function
A
Stimulate electrolyte secretion and increase peristalsis
2
Q
Chloride channel-2
A
in the small intestine activated by lubiprostone to increase secretion
3
Q
5-HT4 receptor
A
In the GI tract agonists increase Gi motility
4
Q
Mu opioid receptor (GI_
A
activation causes inhibition of peristalsis, also increases anal sphincter tone
5
Q
