Q

non-selective beta-blockers

-can they cause hyper/hypokalemia?

A
  • hyperkalemia

- inhibit the Na/K ATPase, so less K pumped into the cell, and more stays in plasma.

Q

Overuse of diuretics can lead to

-metabolic acidosis or alkalosis

A
  • alkalosis
  • low volume = renin/aldo = potassium & H wasting = metabolic alkalosis.
  • This = contraction alkalosis.

102
Q

-acidity turns it off.

103
Q

Phenylalanine and tryptophan are potent stimulators.

104
Q

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide

  • AKA?
  • trigger?
  • function?
A
  • gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP).
  • fatty acids, amino acids, oral glucose
  • dec. gastric H+ secretion
  • inc. insulin release
  • this is why oral glucose = more effective than IV glucose at causing insulin release.
105
Q

why is oral glucose more effective than IV glucose at causing insulin release?
-same reason why its used up more rapidly.

A

-bc glucose in stomach triggers K cells (duodenum/jejunum) to make GIP (aka glucose-dep insulinotropic peptide) which inc. insulin release.

106
Q

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide

-which cells make it? where are they?

A

-K cells (duodenum/jejunum)

107
Q

Motilin

  • made where?
  • fcn?
  • trigger?
A
  • s. intestine
  • produce MMCs
  • inc. in fasting state
108
Q

Secretin

  • who makes it?
  • fcn?
  • triggers?
A
  • S cells (duodenum)
  • inc. bile secretion, inc. pancreatic bicarb secretion, dec. gastric acid secretion.

-triggers: acid, fatty acids in lumen of duodenum

109
Q

Somatostatin

  • who makes it?
  • fcn?
  • triggers?
A
  • D cells (pancreatic islets, GI mucosa)
  • dec. all secretions. Inhibits insulin more so than glucagon so net: causes hyperglycemia.
  • triggers: low pH.
  • Inhibited by vagal stim.

*Antigrowth hormone effects (inhibits digestion and absorption of substances needed for growth)

110
Q

What causes dec in somatostatin prod, chronically.

A

H. pylori & chronic antrum inflammation.

-decreases delta cells.

111
Q

COX-2 relationship w/colon cancer

A
  • inc. COX-2 activity has been shown in some forms of colon cancer & inherited polyposis syndromes.
  • pts taking aspirin have lower incidence of colon cancer.
112

A

-malabsorption diarrhea (steatthorea)

113
Q

What type of channel is the H/K exchanger on gastric parietal cells?

A

Pneumocystis jiroveci

115
Q

3 main causes of HIV esophagitis & appearance.

A
  • candida = white pseudomembrane
  • HSV-1 =punched out ulcers
  • CMV = linear ulcers
116
Q

Left or right sided colon tumors = more likely to cause obstruction?

A

Left (left side more narrow)

-right side usually causes bleeding.

117
Q

Ulcer vs Erosion

A
  • Ulcers can extend into the submucosa.

- Erosions are in the mucosa only.

118
Q

Which cells do carcinoid tumors arise from?

A

enterochromaffin (endocrine) cells of the intestinal mucosa.

119
Q

2nd part of duodenum:

-foregut or midgut?

121
Q

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)

  • made where?
  • fcn?
  • trigger?
A
  • Parasympathetic ganglia in sphincters, gallbladder, small intestine.
  • fcn: inc. intestinal water and electrolyte secretion, inc. relaxation of intestinal smooth muscle and sphincters.
  • also inhibits gastric acid secretion.
  • trigger: distention & vagal stim.
  • inhibited by: adrenergic input
122
Q

VIPoma

  • most commonly found where?
  • Sxs?
  • Tx:
A
  • tail of pancreas

Acid:
A

Carbs: GIP
Amino acids: Gastrin
Fats: CCK
Acid: Secretin

124
Q

Location of chief & parietal cells in gastric glands.

A

Chief cells: deeper in gastric glands than parietal cells
-Parietal cells are located in superficial region of the
gastric glands, below the simple columnar epithelium which secretes the mucus.

125
Q

How does vagus stimulate G cells to make gastrin?

A
  • Using gastrin releasing peptide = GRP (basically the same thing as ACh).
  • So vagus doesn’t release just ACh!
