sympathetic

(2)intrinsic - Enteric Nervous System
myenteric plexus
submucosal
deep muscular plexus

(3)Interstitial cells of Cajal
Smooth Muscle relaxing NTs
NOS
calretinin
VIP
smooth muscle contracting NTs
ACh
NE
interstitial cells of cajal markers, properties, function
establish gap junctions with smooth muscle and between each other
Express c-Kit signaling – receptor for Steele Factor
Functions: pacemaker cells
Or neuroregulators
Five types: depends on where they are found
Phases of response to meal
cephalic
gastric
intestinal
interdigestive
cephalic response to meal
sight, smell, and taste of food, mechanical stimulation of oral cavity
Salivation – sitmulates cholinergic nerves
Vagal reflexes inhibt contractile activity in proximal stomach (relaxes)
Stimulate acid secretion
gastric phase response to meal
neural but local mechanism
Food in stomach distends stomach
Stimulates secretion of acid and enzymes
Also reflexes stimulate preparation of small intestine for food
intestinal phase response to meal
stomach empties into intestine
Most digestion occurs in small intestine
Signals – stimulate secretion of enzymes (less motility)
interdigestive phase response to meal
3-4 hours post food
Contractility wave – migratory motor complex
Absorption and motility
cell structure of smooth muscles
Arranged in bundles of functional units
Mechanically and electrically coupled
Gap junctions electrically couple
Collagen mechanically couples
Intermediate filaments form dense bodies – anchoring proteins for contractile elements
Dense bands – material on membranes, same function as dense bodies
Caveolae – t- tubule like function
Invaginations of membrane near sarcoplasmic reticulum
smooth muscle contraction
Light chain is phosphorylated by MLCK allowing actin and myosin to interact
Phosphorylated myosin is hten capable of hydrolyzing ATP and binding Actin
Calcium concentration allows for myosin phosphorylation


Calcium channel – regulates flow of calcium in and out
And a membrane channel
Intracellular stores of calcium

Contraction types
Phasic – levels of calcium determine amount of force
Tonic – triggered by calcium, but even if calcium levels decrease, force is maintained
rhythm of smooth muscle contraction
Basal electrical rhythm (BER)
set by ICC

spontaneous depolarization of slow waves

when electrical signal reaches threshold, get mechanical contraction....requires environmental factors that promote threshold
types of motility
(1)Peristalsis – esophagus, stomach, small intestine
Function is moving food
(2)Rhythmic segmentation – small and large
Mixing
(3)Tonic – site of sphincters
Block passage
stomach response to food
(1)relaxation of the fundus
Vagal mediated
NOS/VIP
(2)food moves to corpus-antral
Food is milled into chime
(3)antral peristalsis emptying – spray chymes through pylori onto duodenum
solid vs liquid phase meal
Solid vs liquid phase meal
Liquid – don’t require milling
Faster empyting time
No mixing
Gastric neuromuscular disorder

fundic accommodation
(1) Fundic Accomodation – early satiety
Poor or excessive accommodation
gastric neuromuscular disorder

3 cpm electrical rhythm
(2)3 cpm electrical rhythm – tachygastria, bradygastria
Nausea
gastric neuromuscular disorder

3 per min peristaltic contraction
(3)3 per min Peristaltic contraction – hypomobility (grastroparesis)
Prolonged postprandial fullness
gastric neuromuscular disorder

antropylorodueodenal coordination
(4) Antropyloroduodenal coordination – pylorospasm
Right upper quadrant pain
gastric neuromuscular disorder

normal vagal afferent activity
(5) Normal Vagal Afferent Activity – hypersensitive stomach

nausea, pain, bloating
types of gastroparesis
(1) Obstructive gastroparesis
(2) Ishcemic gastroparesis
(3) Diabetic gastroparesis
(4) Postsurgical gastroparesis
(5) Miscellaneous causes – CVD, amyloid, MD
(6) Idiopathic Gastroparesis – post viral, drug induced
normal small bowel motility

fasting vs fed
Fasting –
Phase 1 – no contractions 10 min

Phase 2 – increased, random contractions 70 min

Phase 3 – migrating motor complex MMC
5-8 mins of strong antral-small bowel contractions that migrate to ileum every 90-100mins

Fed – segmental and short duration peristaltic contractions
GI hormones
Gastrin

CCK

secretin

GLP1

PYY

ghrelin

GIP

motilin
stomach released hormones
gastrin - g cell

somatostain - d cell
duodenum or jejunum released hormones
secretin - S cell

CCK - i cell

motilin - M cell

GIP - k cell

somatostain - d cell
ileum or colon released hormones
GLP1 - L cell

PYY

neurotensin

somatostatin
Gastrin family hormones
Gastrin - (1) glycine extended
(2)amide

CCK - gastrin without sulfate group

Receptors - CCK1 - gastrin
CCK2 - cck
regulation of gastrin secretion
secretion - gastric distention, protein digestion products

inhibitory - acid (h+)
stimulates D cell that produces somatostatin that inhibits gastrin producing cells
Gastrin effects
Gastrin directly stimulates parietal cell to make acid
Stimulates ECL cell that produces histamine which stimulates parietal cell to produce acid
Stimulates D cell which produces somatostatin that inhibits acid production (and gastrin production)

Amide type – cell proliferation in stomach and colon
Differentiation of stomach cells
Histamine secretion, acid secretion
Acid secretion

Glycine extended – colon proliferation and stomach differentiation
Cell proliferation

Effects – gall bladder contraction and relaxation of sphincter to release bile
Stimulates secretion of pancreatic enzymes
Inhibits gastric emptying
Growth promoting – pancreatic Langerhan cells

Effects on pancreatic cells is mediated through the vagas
CCK affects afferent vagals that send signal back through efferent vagals
