What is the most frequent site of esopheal stenosis
The distal third of the esophagus
What causes esophageal stenosis?
incomplete esophageal recanalization during the 8th week of development
Pyloric stenosis
congenital defect in which the opening of the pylorus is too narrow & food is unable to pass into the duodenum. Char: projectile vomitting w/in first 2 wks
What characteristic does the vomit of a pyloric stenosis pt have?
No bile in the vomit
Development of the stomach
"right back to LA" dorsal swelling rotates 90 degrees clockwise to the right; cranial portion moves inferior, caudal superior
Hepatic diverticulum
forms in the ventral mesentary, gives rise to liver and hepatic duct
Cystic diverticulum
forms gallbladder and cystic duct
This becomes the bile duct
The stalk connecting the hepatic and cystic ducts to the duodenum
Bare area of liver
area of liver that articulates with septum transversum (diaphragm) and is not covered by mesentary
Ventral pancreatic bud
forms main pancreatic duct, uncinate process and inferior portion of head of the pancreas
Dorsal pancreatic bud
forms superior had of pancreas, body and tail of pancreas, accessory bile duct
Causes duodenums C shape
The clockwise rotation of the gut tube that brings the two pancreatic buds together
Duodenum origins
proximal to bile duct: foregut (celiac artery), distal to bile duct: midgut (superior mesenteric A)
Duodenal stenosis
incomplete recanalization of duodenum
Atresia
no recanalization
Symptoms of duodenal stenosis
recurrent vomitting, gastroesophageal reflux, peptic ulceration
Symptoms of duodenal atresia
maternal polyhydramnios, bile containing vomitus, distended stomach
Physiologic hernia
due to rapid growth of midgut tube, intestine herniates out into umbilical cord from 6-10wks
Rotation of midgut
6th wk: midgut herniates, rotates 90 CC. 10th wk: return to abdominal cavity, rotates 180 CC (total 270 degrees)
How is the appendix formed?
during the displacement of the cecum. Originally the cecum is below the right lobe of the liver but then descends into the right iliac fossa
Nonrotation and malrotation of midgut
associated with abnormal mesenteric attachment, volvulus and obstruction
Omphalocoel
failure of midgut to return to abdominal cavity. Herniated intestines are enclosed in umbilical cord and covered with amnion
Gastroschisis
due to abnormal closure of body wall. protrusion of viscera directly into amniotic cavity, occurs lateral to the umbilicus. Viscera not covered by amnion (vs. omphal..)
Ileal (Meckel's) Diverticulum
incompletely obliterated vitelline duct (yolk stalk.)
Cloaca
terminal end of hindgut
Partitioning of cloaca
urogenital sinus and rectum
Cloacal membrane
partitioned into urogenital memrane and anal membrane
Pectinate line
demarcates junction between upper 2/3 of anal canal (endoderm) and distal 1/3 anal canal (ectoderm)
White line
demarcates junction between columnar epithelium and stratified squamous epithelium
Imperforate anus
anal membrane fails to break down
Urorectal fistula
incomplete partitioning of hindugt
Hirschsprungs disease
absence of parasymp ganglia in gut wall due to failure of neural crest cells to migrate to walls of intestines. Peristalsis is absent in affected regions
Dorsal mesentery
Greater omentum, mesentery of small intestine, mesoappendix, transverse mesocolon, sigmoid mesocolon

Where in the stomach is acid secreting (oxyntic) mucosa found?
corpus has parietal cells which secrete acid
T/F gastric ulcers are most often the result of over secretion of gastric acid
F; gastric ulcers are most often due to destruction of cytoprotective mechanisms
Mucus Neck Cell
Neck of the gastric glands and between parietal cells; secrete mucus
G-Cell
Glands in the antrum; secrete gastrin
Parietal/Oxyntic cell
Cardia, fundus, and corpus (a lot in corpus!); secrete HCl and intrinsic factor
Chief cells
Cardia, fundus, and corpus; secrete pepsinogen (proton activated)
Surface mucus cells
Cover the free surface of the glandular stomach and line the upper 1/3 of the gastric pits; secrete mucus and HCO3-
Stem cells

What are the six components of gastric secretion?
H+, pepsinogen, mucus, bicarb, intrinsic factor, water
What is the role of H+ in gastric secretion?
converts pepsinogen to pepsin, kills bacteria and denatures proteins
What is the role of pepsinogen in gastric secretion?
Once converted to pepsin it partly digests protein
What is the role of mucus in gastric secretion?
lubricates and protects mucosa
What is the role of bicarb in gastric secretion
protects the mucosal surface
What is the role of intrinsic factor in gastric secretion
necessary for the normal absorption of vitamin B12
What is the role of water in gastric secretion
dissolves and dilutes ingested material
In a parietal cell, how are bicarb and Cl ion exchanged from the blood?
Either through passive exchange or a bicarb/Cl exchanger
In a parietal cell, how are potassium and proton exchanged with the lumen?
H+/K+ ATPase pump
In a parietal cell, histaminee works through what second messenger?
cAMP
In a parietal cell, acetylcholine and gastrin work through what second messenger?
DAG and IP3
The stomach receives sympathetic innervation through
stellate, celiac, and superior mesenteric ganglia
The role of histamine in gastric acid secretion
By working through a different second messenger to land at the same response, histamine potentiates the effects of acetycholine and gastrin
The effect of prostaglandins, secretin, and somatostatin on gastric acid secretion
inhibitory
Prostaglandins
PGE2 and PGI2 act on EP3 receptors to inhibit the histamine pathway; also stim surface mucus cells to secrete mucus and bicarb
Secretin
released from S cells in the duodenal mucosa in response to gastric acid. Opposes gastrins effect on oxynti mucosa. Also promotes bicarb secretion
Somatostatin
paracrine agent released from D cells in gastric mucosa. Depresses gastrin release from G cells and opposes effect of gastrin on parietal cells
