GI system Flashcards
(22 cards)
What are the 7 types of GI system classes
- Antidiarrheals
- Laxatives
- Emetics
- Antiemetics
- Antiulcer
- GI stimulants
- Antibiotics/anti-inflammatories
What are the different types of antidiarrheals
- Narcotic analgesics
- Non- narcotic agents
- Anticholinergics
- Protectants/ Adsorbents
What type of antidiarrheal is also known as opioids and increases segmental contractions, decreases intestinal secretions, increases intestinal absorption and cannot be used in cats or horses
Narcotic analgesics
What type of antidiarrheal is used to slow down peristalsis to allow the intestines more time for absorption
Non-narcotic agents
What type of antidiarrheal is used to decrease GI motility and should be monitored since a side effect is diarrhea
Anticholinergics
What type of antidiarrheal is used to coat inflamed GI mucosa to prevent further irritation and is used to bind to bacteria or toxins to prevent them from being absorbed in the intestines
Protectants/ adsorbents
What are the different types of laxatives
- Stool softeners
- Bulk- producing agents
- Hyperosmotic agents
- Lubricants
What type of laxative is made of indigestible fiber material that absorbes water increasing water content of feces
Bulk- producing agents
Which type of laxative is a saline laxative that cant be absorbed by the GI tract and pulls water into the colon
Hyperosmotic agents
What type of laxative is made of petroleum or oil based product
Lubricants
What are the different types of Emetics
- Centrally acting emetics
- Locally acting emetics
What type of emetic is used to stimulate the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CRTZ) to transmit a stimuli to the vomit center to begin vomiting
Centrally acting emetics
Which type of emetic causes irritation of the gastric mucosa and GI tract resulting in vomit
Locally acting emetics
What are the different types of antiemetics
- Phenothiazine derivatives
- Procainamide derivatives
- Antihistamines
- Anticholinergics
- Serotonin ( 5-HT3) receptor antagonist
- Neurokinin (NK1) receptor antagonist
What type of antiemetic is used to block dopamine receptors in the CRTZ to treat motion sickness, vomiting, and gastroenteritis
Phenothiazine derivatives
What type of antiemetic acts centrally, and peripherally and is used to decrease stomach emptying , intensifies gastric contractions, strengthens the cardiac sphincter, and has a short half life
Procainamide derivatives
What type of antiemetic works directly on the CRTZ and used fir inner ear diseases and motion sickness
Antihistamines
What type of antiemetic is used to combat nausea and vomiting by decreasing GI spasms , slowing intestinal motility, and reducing secretion and can potentially educe vomiting
Anticholinergics
What type of antiemetic is used to manage acute nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and anesthesia
Serotonin ( 5-HT3) receptor antagonists
What type of antiemetic is used to manage acute and delayed nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy
Neurokinin (NK1) receptor antagonists
What are the different types of antiulcers
- H2 receptor antagonist (Antihistamines)
- Proton pump inhibitors
- Antacids
- Gastromucosal protectants
- Prostaglandin E1 analogs
