Q

what is receptive relaxation

A

mechanoreceptors in pharynx during swallowing stimulate the vagus to inhibit musculomotor neurons, thus stretching stomach

15
Q

what is the adaptive reflex

A

stretching of stomach causes vasovagal reflex to inhibit musculomotr neurons, stretching out stomach. this is lost in vagotomy and diabetic neuropathy

16
Q

what is feedback relaxation

A

presence of nutrients in SI stimulate vagus to stretch, slow down

17
Q

what are the characteristics that make emptying slower

A

high caloric content, high acidity, hyper/hypotonic, large food particles, smaller gastric emptying

18
Q

duodenal factors in gastric emptying

A

distention, irritaion, acidity, osmolality, breakdown of proteins, hormonal feedback (GIP, CCK)

19
Q

what happens in the absence of MMC

A

bacterial overgrowth

20
Q

what is the purpose of the MMC

A

sweeps up the intestine

21
Q

when does MMC end

A

ingestion

22
Q

MMC relies on program of

A

ENS

23
Q

what is the effect of the vagus nerve on MMC

A

inhibitory, without vagus stimulation MMC occurs

24
Q

what type of relaxation allows the ascending colon to accept large volumes of chyme from ileum

A

adaptive

25
Q

haustration is powered by

A

ENS

26
Q

irritant laxatives stimulate

A

power propulsion (starts in middle of transverse colon), also gastrocolic reflex

27
Q

responsible for mass movement to sigmoid colon and rectum

A

neural program

28
Q

following a bilateral vagotamy which is lost

A

gastric adaptive reflex

29
Q

allows ibuprofen to reach the intestine fastest

A

saline

30
Q

defecation reflex is powered by

A

spinal reflex
