GI 7 Flashcards
(44 cards)
The primary role of this intestinal hormone is to stimulate pancreatic enzyme secretion:
Secretin
CCK
GIP
GLP-1
CCK
what does the enterogastric reflex do
provides negative feedback to stomach
food enters the large intestine through what
iliocecal valve
what does the gastroileal reflex do
relaxes iliocecal valve to let food through
what empties out the small intestine
gastroileal reflex
whats the inside of the large intestine like
smooth (lacks villi)
where does the appendix secrete into
the large intestine
what are secretions in the large intestine like
minimal and primarily mucus from goblet cells
does digestion happen in the large intestine?
yes
digestion by bacteria
how are things broken down in the large intestine?
bacteria have a fermentation process
whats the by product of the fermentation in the large intestine
smell and gas
and Vitamin K for absorption
how long is motility in the large intestine
18-24 hours
what is the order of motility in the large intestine? (3)
slow segmental contractions
haustral rolling and churning
mass peristalsis
what create haustrum pouches
thickened bands of longitudinal muscle layer taenia coli
what is the gastrocolic reflex stimulated by
food in stomach
what explain why someone might have to shit after a meal
gastrocolic reflex
what are the 2 reflexes initiated by distension of the rectum involved in defecation
short reflex (peristaltic waves) in wall of GI tract
long reflex to relax internal sphincter
is the external sphincter always contracted
yes, it opens by voluntary relaxation
parasympathetic or sympathetic to shit
parasympathetic input
what kind of muscle is the external sphincter
skeletal
what is diarrhea due to (3)
increased secretion
reduced absorption
increased motility
what would be osmotic diarrhea
solute that doesn’t get absorbed
whats inflammatory diarrhea
infections or damage (inflammation of GI tract)
motility induced diarrhea
excess motility so higher solute and not much absorption
