Phases of gastric acid secretion
Cephalic - smell/taste
Gastric - distension of stomach
Intestinal - food in duodenum
Increases gastric acid secretion
Vagal nerve stimulation
Gastrin release
Histamine release
Decreases gastric acid secretion
Somatostatin (inhibits histamine release)
CCK
Secretin
pH of gastric acid
Around 2
Fistula
Abnormal connection or passageway that connects 2 organs of vessels
Flat diaphragm on chest X-ray
Long-standing COPD
Depletion of of goblet cells
Ulcerative colitis
Increase in number of goblet cells
Crohns
Deep ulceration
Crohn’s
Granulomas present
Crohn’s
Transmural inflammation
Crohn’s
Mucosal and submucosal inflammation
Ulcerative colitis
Digoxin mechanism of action
Inhibits Na+/K+ ATPase and improves contractility
Embryological structure giving rise to AV and all valves
Endocardial cushion
Foramen ovale gives rise to
Fossa ovalis
Ductus arteriosus gives rise to
Ligamentum arteriosum
Bulbus cordis gives rise to
Right ventricle and smooth parts of left vetricle
Whipple’s procedure
Removes head of pancreas, portion of bile duct, gallbladder and duodenum, part of stomach
Oesophageal hiatus level
T10
Aortic hiatus
T12
Vena cava foramen
T8
Lower oxygen delivery, shift to left
LOW H+ / pCO2 / 2,3-DPG / temperature, HbF / methaemoglobin / carboxyhaemoglobin
TLC =
Vital capacity + residual volume
Cardiac preload
End diastolic volume
