Anatomically the stomach is composed of
the fundus, body and the antrum.
Physiologically the stomach composed of
The orad portion or Gastric Reservoir part (tonic contraction):
2. the caudad portion or Antral pump (phasic contraction):
the caudad portion or Antral pump (phasic contraction):
lower third of the body & antrum
The orad portion or Gastric Reservoir part (tonic contraction)
fundus & upper two thirds of the body
The smooth muscle layers in the fundus and body are
thin
The smooth muscle layers in the antrum
has much heavier musculature
Control of gastric motility
- Vago-vagal reflex
- Parasympathetic and Gastrin
- Sympathetic
Vago-vagal reflex
fundal relaxation
Parasympathetic and Gastrin:
increase contraction force and frequency
Sympathetic
decrease contraction force and frequency
Function of Gastric Motility
- reservoir
- break food into small particles and mix food with gastric secretions
- empty gastric contents into the duodenum
volume when the stomach empty
50 ml;, 1 L ,1.5 L
The stomach AND V during meal
a 20-fold change in volume
The stomach AND tension during meal
little change in tension
The stomach AND intra-gastric pressure, during meal
little rise in intra-gastric pressure
cause of little change in tension and
little rise in intra-gastric pressure
deep folds of stomach
During a meal
the folds get smaller and nearly flatten out
the stomach relaxes slightly with each mouthful
three kinds of gastric relaxation difference
is the region and the receptors
Types of Receptors of gastric relaxation
- receptive relaxation
- adaptive relaxation
- feedback-relaxation
receptive relaxation
swallowing of food (before stomach )
adaptive relaxation
food in stomach →stretch receptors
feedback-relaxation
food in duodenum →the release of CCK
stretch receptors
mechano or tension receptors)in stomach
;givegus
Afferent: vagus
c. Center: vagal center
d. Efferent: vagus ►enteric neurons (inhibitoryneurotransmitter: Nitric oxide or VIP)
e. Effector organ: muscle relaxation of stomach wall
