Q

what is peristalsis? and its uses?

A

basic propulsion of digestive tract contents. 1. constriction of lumen - by angular muscle fibres 2. propulsion - longnitidual muscle fibres 3. stimulation - external nerves and distension

Q

explain Hydrochloric acid secretion?

A

H+ ions formed in parietal cells, CO2 + H20 converted into HCO3- by enzyme carbonic anhydrase HCL contains pepsinogen.

65
Q

why does the conversion of H2O + CO2 to HCO3- causes HCL to be secreted?

A

when HCO3- is produced it causes Cl- to pass into parietal cells, this causes H+ ions to move by A.T out into the gland lumen creating a concentration gradient in the lumen which causes K+ to move back into the parietal cells. CL- moves into gland lumen via diffusion and CL- + H+ bind to create HCL.

66
Q

what is the purpose fo Chief cells?

A

store and release pepsinogen, pepsin is a stomach acid and hydrolyes proteins and breaks peptide bonds.

ACh by cholingeric neurones Gastrin - from goblet cells Histamine - ECG cells stimulates Hydrogen pump.

68
Q

explain gastric juice secretion?

A

vagal nerve stimulated of sight of food - triggers secretion of gastric juice via gastrin and secretory cells - food enters, distention + peptide stimulation by parietal and goblet cells

Q

what is stomach churning?

A

food churned by waves in stomach, made into chyme, food mixes thoroughly, peristatlic weaves, force chyme formed

70
Q

how is chyme expelled by stomach?

A

propulsion, grinding, retropulsion.

71
Q

what are pacemaker cells?

A

interstitial cells of Cajal - produce spontaneous oscillators in stomach and intestine

72
Q

what are the 2 types of signal for pacemakers?

A

Reflexes - short reflexes wall of stomach long reflexex by vagus nerve - EACh released - contractions - stomach expands - rapid emptying Gastrin hormone - secreted by epithelium cells of goblet cells - gastric contractions - reflex pyloric sphincter - gastric emptying.

73
Q

what normally protects lining of stomach form HCL acid?

A

HCO3- and mucous form a protective barrier.. BUT if HCL breaks down barrier then stomach will produce ‘gastric ulcers’ common in equine and dogs

Q

describe the Gall Bladder

A

sac lined by non-secretaory simple columnar epithiulum

94
Q

what does the presence of lipids cause in duodenum?

A

release of cholecystokinin is the presence of fat in the duodenum. Once released, it stimulates contractions of the gallbladder and common bile duct, resulting in delivery of bile into the gut.

Q

describe the Ruminant pancreas?

A

ventral to liver

cows = one pancreatic duct enters duodenum distal to to bile duct.

120
Q

describe how post-natal devopelment works for a milk diet?

A

ABOMASUM = 60% of stomach = biggest at birth.

means milk must get to the abomasum via the reticular groove which transports milk bypassing rumen and omasum.

at 2-3 weeks old - abomasum gets smaller, ruemn, reticulum and omasum 2x size.

solid food adaptation from 3-8 weeks old

A

arises from right dorsal colon, passes in fornt of mesnetric root,

small colon, Small sacculations form faecal balls

rectum become retroperitoneal, losses sacculation and widens before anal canal.

anal canal closed by longnitdunal musocal folds

133

Quadrate lobe

R medial lobe

R lateral lobe

Caudate lobe

138
Q

what are the 4 ways for CHO breakdown?

A

small intestine - pancreatic amylase

enzymatic breakdown of dissaccarides into monosaccarides - enzymes on brush border of S.I

Monosaccharides from enthrocytes into blood by facillaited diffusion.

transport and upatke of glucose by target cells.

139
Q

describe emulsificaiton of lipids?

A

triglycerides, phosopholipids and cholesroles.

lipids = hydrophobic, lump together in S.I,

broken down and held in suspension = emulfification

140
Q

how are lipids broken down?

A

fat(lipids) broken down by bile acting as a detergent, lipids become coated in bile salts/phosopholipids.

Chylomicrons - lipoprotein complexes (lipid+protein)

141
Q

describe the breakdown of TAGs?

A

lingual lipase - seceted in mouth, lipid digestion in mouth.

Gastric lipase - secreted in stomach

Lipprotein lipase - releases fatty acids from lipids (TAGs) to tissues.

142
Q

how does TAG digestion occur?

A

Pancreatic lipase attacks TAGs via gaps in chylomicrons = partial degernation. the TAGs are now bound to chylomicrons and can be taken up.

TAGs are resynthesized with choletsrol + phosplipids = chylomicrons

chylomicrons move by exocytosis into lymphatic system.

Hydorlysised by lipoprotein lipase (LPL)

LPL hydoryles TAGs to free fatty acids + glycerol (lipolysis)

143
Q

descibe the exocrine pancreas structure and fucntion and how it contirbutes to digestion?

A

produces pancreatic juice for dogetsion.

2main cell types - interclated cells - secretion rich in HCo3- nutralises acidic content, provdes optinla pH for pancretaic enzymes

  • acinar cells - produces enzymes for breakdown of macromolecules.
144
Q

what does pancreatic juice contain?

A

Proteases, endopeptidases, amylase, nucleases, lipase, bile salts

145
Q

descibe the phases of pancreatic secretions?

A

cephalic phase - increases as food increwases, vagal activty increases for gastric release from stomach

gatric phase - distention of stomach casues a relfex stimulating further secretion.

intersital phase - chyme enters duodeum, causes vagal and hormonal signals depending on compostion of food

146
Q

describe what secretin is and what its function is?

A

regualtes duodenum pH, inhitits gastric acid secretion from parietal cells, stimulates liver to produce bile. HCO3- production.

147
Q

what is Cholecystolcinin (CCK)?

A

increased fatty acids and pepties, increase CCK.

stimulates enzyme-pattened cells

enzymes enhance prodiction - increases release

148
Q

describe some difffernces betwene species in pancreas?

A

Ruminants - continually release pancreatic secretion after feeding at a constant rate

Horses - contoinous 35L/day but increases after feeding, low enyme conc

Cats/Dogs - little jouce secreted in S.I but increases vastly after feeding

149
Q

descibe what the liver does?

A

produces bile by hepatocytes, and bile is stored in gall bladder.

contaisn kupffer cells - star shaped macrophages

bile secreted into S.I via bile canaliculi, nessasory for degenertaion and abosorption of fat.

150
Q

explain the regulation of bile secretion?

A

conc of bile salts in portal blood ⬆️

⬆️ in bile salt secretion

⬆️ bile production

151
Q

epxlain why horses and ruminants do NOT have a gall bladder?

A

constantly digesting food and grazing, requires a constant supply of bile salts so gall bladder not required for storage.

152
Q

explain how the small intestine motility occurs?

A

mix, ensure contact with membrane of epithial cells, transport chyme along digestive tract.

types of movement = mix and segmentation

= propulsive movements (peristalsis)

153
Q

explain the regulation of motility?

A

interstitial cells of Cajal - pacemaker cells of inststial tract, produce action potenicals, which propogate from muscle cells via gap juncitons.

Ileocaecal sphincter - ensuring expansion of L.I causes sphincter to close, emptying is a highly contolled process.

154
Q

explain the large intetsine motility?

A

segmentation, peristalsis, retoperistalsis, mass movement (propel chyme to reaction)

contractions regualted by instertial cells of cajal.

155
Q

what happens when rectum is full?

A

distention stimulates stetch recpectors in the wall, can cause rectum to contract propusivily = mass movement

156
Q

what is hindgut fermentation?

A

anerobic breakdown of fatty acids, high fibre feeds, pectin etc

hind gut = caecum and colon.

Hindgut functionally akin to the reticulo-rumen – importance of the microbiome!

Hindgut = 85% efficiency cf. the rumen

–Digestive efficiency in the hindgut of the horse:

  • 75-85% cell-wall CHOs
  • 15-30% soluble CHOs
  • 30% dietary protein
157
Q

what inflences the passage rate?

A

physical form of food, forage v grain

physical form of food - parical size processing, growth stage
