Secretions are Added to food in the GI tract by what 3 things
Secretory Epithelium, Pancreas, Liver
Peptic Ulcer Risks
Smoking, Excess alcohol, Black tarry stools, vomit red blood
Sphincter of Oddi
Tonically contracted, separates common bile duct from small intestine, allows passage of bile/pancreatic enzymes during a meal
4 Layers of GI tract Wall
Mucosae: faces lumen
Submucosa
Muscularis Externa
Serosa: CT covering (attached to mesentary sheet)
Mucosa Contains Crypts/Gastric Glands (house stem cells) and Lamina Propria (CT, contains nerve fibers and Peyers Patches)
Muscularis Externa Consists of...
2 Layers of Smooth Muscle
1. Inner circular layer (contraction decreases lumen diameter)
2. Outter Longitudinal Layer (contraction shortens tube)

-Also contains Myenteric Plexus (nerve network controlling Musc. Ext. motor activity)
GI Smooth Muscle Contractions are...
*Spontaneous
-via gap junctions
Tonic: Sphincters, anterior stomach
Phasic: Posterior Stomach, Small Intestine
Phasic=slow wave potentials
-Slow wave freq. varies by region (fastest in duodenum)
ICC: pacemakers
Secretions....
1. Parietal Cells
2. Acinar Cells
3. Duct Cells
1. HCl from gastric glands into stomach lumen
2. Digestive Enzymes from the pancreas (exocrine)
3. NaHCO3 from exocrine portion of Pancreas (HCO3- also secreted by duodenum)-CFTR Cl- channel
Parietal Cells Pump HCO3- into the BLOOD, Duct Cells pump H+ into the BLOOD
Hormones Secreted by Stomach/Intestine
Stomach: Gastrin (stim gastric acid secretion)-inhibited by somatostatin
CFTR cells are found where?
Pancreatic Duct cells, Duodenal Cells, Crypt Cells of SI and Colon
Saliva is made up of...
water, ions, mucus, proteins (enzymes/IGs)
Cystic Fibrosis Caused by (MOA)
Defect in CFTR Cl- transporter does not allow Cl- secretion into lumen, therefore Na+ and H20 cannot follow and lumen mucus thickens=clogs sphincter of oddi
Bile is...
-nonenzymatic
-secreted from hepatocytes
-stored in gall bladder
Bile Contains...
Bile Salts: aid in fat digestion via emulsification
Bile Pigments: ie Bilirubin (Hb waste)
Cholesterol+Drugs: (detoxifying)
CCK
-promotes satiety
-neuropeptide (from neurons)
-secreted as zymogen
-stimulates gallbladder contraction+pancreatic enzyme secretion
Features ENS shares with CNS
1.Intrinsic Neurons
2. NTs and Neuromodulators
3.Glial Support Cells
4.Capillary Diffusion Barrier
5.Integrating Center
Bilirubin
Hb Waste Product
-reversibly binds to albumin in plasma ("free")
-Liver removes bilirubin from plasma easily by esterifying it w/glucuronic acid=conjugated bilirubin=more soluble
Jaundice is...
*Bilirubin Build up in ECF (yellow skin/sclera)

Caused by...^RBC breakdown, bile duct obstruction, Liver Damage
Bilirubin+Ca2+ Salts=GallStones
(80% from cholesterol)
Iron Fate
Trasported by Transferrin to Bone Marrow Fe--> Hb, then Hb moves to Spleen Hb-->Bilirubin, Bilirubin is then metabolized in the liver and excreted in urine and feces
Nutrient Absorption in Small Intestine...
Nutrient-->Cell-->Capillaries-->Hepatic Portal System
Sjogren Syndrome
AI Disease
-decreases secretions (saliva, tears)
-No amylase (dry mouth/dry eyes)
-Leads to teeth problems (no lysozyme for cleaning)
Pneumonia
^gastric pH=more risk for bacterial infections like pneumonia
2 Types of Diarrhea
Osmotic Diarrhea: undigested lactose, stuff left in intestinal lumen=^osmolarity, fluid stays in lumen

Secretory (Choleretic) Diarrhea: caused by bacterial toxins that ENHANCE CL- SECRETION, water follows...(MORE SERIOUS) ex. Cholerae, E. Coli
Cells secreting Substances in Gastric Pit...
D Cells: Secrete Somatostatin
Parietal Cells: Secrete Gastric Acid and Intrinsic Factor
Chief Cells: Secrete Lipase and Pepsin
G Cells: Secrete Gastrin
Mucous Neck Cells: Secrete Mucous and Bicarbonate
Enterochromaffin-like Cells: Secrete Histamine
**Gastric Acid Activates Pepsin

EDC MPG
Fibrates work to decrease Cholesterol levels by...
Stimulating PPAR-alpha and Niacin promoting cholesterol catabolism (Txn Factor)
