Question 1

how does 5ht stimulate gastric motility?

Answer 1

induces release of Ach onto smooth muscle (muscarinic receptors)

Question 2

how does dopamine effect gastric motility?

Answer 2

activates presynaptic reeptors to decrease firing of ENS neurons —> decrease gastric motility

stimulant

Question 12

what happens when you stimulate 5HT4 receptors

Answer 12

• promote NT release in ENS resulting in motility

- decrease firing of extrinisc sensory neurons to CNS (blcok pain)

Question 13

how does activation of chloride channels a laxative mechanism

Answer 13

increase luminal concentration of chlroide –> sodium and water go to lumen too

–> stool soft and motility easier

Question 14

when should you use mu-opiod receptor antagonist?

Answer 14

when using opiod agonist to treat pain post surgically

mu-opiod antagonist doesn’t go to CNS = pain relieved and no constipation

Question 15

Answer 15

5HT partial agonist

Question 16

what type of laxative lubiprostone?

Answer 16

chloride channel activator

Question 17

methylnaltrexone and alvimopan

Question 18

treat opiod-induced constipation during palliative care

Answer 18

methylnaltrexone

Question 19

treat postop patients with bowel resevtion

Answer 19

alvimopan **only 7 days of high chance MI

Question 20

why can an opiod antagonist be used to treat diarrhea?

Answer 20

opiod decrease peristaltic contraction and increase sphincters and segmental contractions, decrease GI distension perception

Question 21

what effects of bismuth subsalicylate are antidiarrheal?

Answer 21

inhibiton of prostaglandin synthesis in intestines and absorption of bacteria

*stimulates in stomach
