Q

Regulation of the GI tract 6 components:

A
  1. Enteric nervous system (myenteric plexus, submucosal plexus for secretions)
  2. Parasympathetic plexus (mainly vagal to transverse colon and nerves to anus)
  3. Sympathetic nervous systems (post ganglionic andrenergic fibers from celiac, super and inf. mesenteric and hypogastric plexus)
  4. Central nervous system
  5. Lumenal chemo-, mechano-, and osmoreceptors (act on enteric NS)
  6. Hormones

23
Q

At what level of carbs breakdown can the villa of the small intestine start absorbing?

A

monosaccharides: galactose, fructose, glucose

24
Q

Where does protein digestion start?

A

in the STOMACH with pepsin in the presence of hydrochloric acid. Proteins break down to peptones and proteases

25
Q

In the small intestines, what happens to peptones and proteases?

A

Pancreatic enzymes (trypsins, chemotrypsins, carboxypeptidases) break them into small polypeptides, dipeptides.

26
Q

What do the brush border enzymes of the small intestine do regarding protein breakdown?

A

They break the dipeptides, and polypeptides down to amino acids!
Brush border enzymes are amino peptidases and dipeptidases

27
Q

At what level of protein breakdown can the small intestine absorb proteins?

A

at the level of amino acids.

28
Q

Where does fat digestion start?

A

Lingual lipase in the mouth

29
Q

Where does most of the fat digestion occur?

A

small intestine. Bile acids, fatty acids, emulsify the fats.

30
Q

In addition to the small intestines breaking down fats, what other organ helps break down fats?

A

Also, pancreatic lipase’s also work to break them to
1. monoglycerides and fatty acids
2. glycerol and fatty acids
FATS GO INTO THE LACTEAL

31
Q

Component nutrients of sugars and amino acids get absorbed where?

A

In the bloodstream

32
Q

What is receptive relaxation and where does it occur?

A

STOMACH: and it vagally mediated, via the release of the VIP, vasoactive intestinal peptide; its released from neurons and inhibits HCL and stimulates pancreas to release secretions, also causes relaxation downward.

33
Q

What is responsible for keeping the stomach relaxed?

A

VAGUS nerve!

34
Q

Characteristics of the MMC

A 
works in a fasting state
movement of undigested material and bacteria into colon
3-4 phases, 75-120 mins
motilin characterized by motilin
independent of vagal stimulation
job is gastric emptying
35
Q

What is the BER?

A

slow waves.
Depolarization characterized by stretch, Ach/parasympathetic system, gastrin, serotonin, substance P,
Hyperpolarization: NE, sympathetics, VIP, NO
* slow in the stomach, faster in the small intestine and the large intestine

36
Q

Law of intestine?

A

*upper end contracts and lower end relaxes
Tachykinin, motor neuron, cholinergic motor neuron can cause constriction, then VIP or a neuron can cause relaxation downstream

37
Q

Via what mechanisms does peristalsis occur?

A

receptive relaxation, MMC, propulsion via peristalsis and segmentation (but segmentation is primarily mixing), may be mostly under extrinsic/vagal control

38
Q

Contraction of the gall bladder releases what and where?

A

bile into the duodenum

1. vagal stimulation relaxes the sphincter of oddi and 2. later CCK will stimulate gallbladder contraction.

39
Q

Characteristics of the large intestine?

A

Segemental propulsion, teneia coli, last absorption of Na and H2O, fast mass movements, PNS and hormonal control: GASTRIN AND CCK. BER is in the large intestine! no microvili! we don’t need to absorb as much.

40
Q

Reflexes from top to bottom?

A

Gastroileal-
Gastrocolic
Ileogastric- inhibits gastric motility when ileum becomes full.
Enteroenteric (intestinointestinal)- inhibits intestine movement when another part of intestine is full.
Colonocolonic
*Cecoileal- irritation in cecum tells ileum to stop sending
Rectosphincteric- defecation reflex

41
Q

What do parotid glands secrete?

A

25% of total output, with amylase

42
Q

Submandibular glands?

A

70%, mixed

43
Q

Sublingual

A

5%, mucous fluid

44
Q

Salivary formation: how much is made, by what cells?

A

1.5 L a day
Acinar cells: Primary secretion (present in all three glands)
Myoepithelial cells: alpha adreneric fiber innervation (contraction puts fluid in the ducts)
Striated ducts: secrete and absorb electrolytes

45
Q

Acinar cells

A
  1. Control by autonomic (parasymp.-ACh, VIP; and sympath.- beta- and alpha-adrenergics (NE)) and central nervous systems.
  2. Control by hormones: ADH, aldosterone,
  3. PTH
    Secrete saliva containing amylase, Na, K, Cl, HCO3 in levels similar to plasma
46
Q

Saliva must always be what?

A

HYPOTONIC, HCO3 is primarily absorbed in the ducts, rate of flow makes the tonicity, as rate increases osmolality increases. Makes a large volume relative to gland size, low osmolality, high K concentration .

47
Q

What does saliva do?

A

Coagulation factors, WBC, IGA, opsonins, protects, lingula lipase and salivary lipase, mucin= glycoproteins, oral hygiene, must keep flowing!

48
Q

What nerves control the salivary flow?

A

PNS through the glossopharyngeal and facial

49
Q

What decreases salivary flow?

A

sympathetics, ADH aldosterone (increases K in saliva, lowers NA), sleep, dehydration, aging, drugs.

50
Q

What hormones constrict the pylorus?

A

GIP, CCK, Secretin, Gastrin?

51
Q

Movement in the small intestine is characterized by?

A

segmentation and peristalsis (two types of propulsion)

Segmentation contracts in the middle of the bolus, where as peristalsis contracts behind it.

52
Q

Law of intestines

A

simulations stimulation of excitatory and inhibitory neurons

53
Q

CCK does what?

A

tells gallbladder to release bile and tells sphincter of iddi to relax to allow contents of the common bile duct to enter the duodenum

54
Q

Large intestine does what types of propulsion?

A

segmental (hausfrau) helps to store chyme and dehydrate and mass movements

55
Q

What sphincter regulates the amount of chyme entering the colon?

A

ileocecal

56
Q

Which hormones initiate mass movements in the colon?

A

CCK and gastrin
