Large, Small Intestines (lec 5) Flashcards
Plicae circulares are?
Purpose?
deep, circular folds in mucosa and sub of Small Int (SI)
slow chyme,
↑ absorptive SA
Villi are?
Purpose?
extensions of mucosa on plicae
↑ absorptive SA
bv and lacteal (lymph) for absorption
Microvilli are?
Purpose?
mucosal cells on plasma memb,
brush border
↑ absorptive SA of epithelial cells
absorb fats/nutrients from chyme
Crypt of Lieberkuhn is?
tubular invag on epithelium around villi
secrete H2O/electrolytes
Paneth cells in SI lining do what?
secrete lysozymes and defensins
Basic electrical rhythm of intestinal motility set by?
slow waves
Segmentation in SI does?
mix chyme w/ juices,
exposes it to mucosa
Peristalsis in SI does?
Initiated by?
move chyme to colon
reflex from intestinal wall distention,
reflex mediated by myenteric plexus
Primary motility in SI during digestion is?
rhythmic segmentation:
alternating of simultaneous contractions/relaxation of circular mm segments
MMC is?
Migrating Myoelectrical Complexes:
cyclical, slow, intense motor activity,
moves undigest food from GI tract
start 2 hrs postprandialy,
stop while eating
MMC regulated by?
Motilin from up duo
SI motility PNS regulation?
(ACh):
excitatory (↑ contractions)
vagal, peptide (enkeph, motilin)
SI motility SNS regulation?
(NE):
inbibitory (↓ contractions)
celiac gang
superior mesenteric gang
SI motility ENS regulation?
(VIP):
inhibitory (relax smooth mm)
Enterogastric Reflex?
Nerve response, not hormonal:
inhibits gastric emptying
stimulated by:
↑ H+
fat/proteins in duo
duo distention
