Q

Vomiting (Emesis)

A
  • Forceful ejection of stomach contents through the mouth
  • Protective mechanism to remove harmful substances from body
  • Initiated by activation of the emetic center

Can be generated by impulses caused by-

  • Pain, excitement, fear— cerebral cortex
  • Disturbances inner ear (vestibular apparatus)- CRTZ
  • Drugs-CRTZ
  • Metabolic Conditions- CRTZ
  • Irritation peripheral receptors

Q

Regulation of GI System

A

SNS stimulation:

  • decrease intestinal motility and tone
  • decreases intestinal secretions
  • Inhibits relaxation of sphincters
  • Sympathomimetic or anticholinergic drugs cause similar actions

PSNS stimulation:

  • increase motility and tone
  • increases secretions
  • stimulates relaxation of sphincters
  • Cholinergic or parasympathomimetic drugs cause similar actions
