QuestionAnswer
2 major disorders of stomach and UPPER small intestine? Gastritis and Peptic ulcer disease
an inflamtion of the gastric mucosa is one of the most common problems affecting the stomach Gastritis
gastritis may be clasified as ? acute or chornic and diffuse or locaziled
occurs as a result of a breakdown in the normal gastric mucosal barrier. Gastritis
protects the stomach tissue from the corrosive action of HCL acid and pepsin Function of gastric mucosal barrier
In gastritis when the mucosal barrier is broken, HCL acidm and pepsin can diffuse back into the mucusa resulting in? tissue edema, disruption of cappilary walls with loos of plasma into gastric lumen and possibly hemmorhage
Drugs that contribute to the development of acute/chronic gastritis? NSAIDS, inlduign aspirin and corticosertiods, as they inhibit prostaglandin(which is protective to GI mucosal wall) and anticoagulants and digoxin
Injesting alchol, eating large quanitites of spicy, irriating foods and renal failure can cause? Gastritis

eroding throguh the musclular wall with the formation of fibrous tissue A chronic ulcer
peptic ulcers develop only in an? acidic enviorment
histamine in released from the damaged mucosa, resulting in vasodilation and increased cappilary permeability in peptic ulcers results in? further secretion of acid and pepsin
In adition to chronic gastritic H pylori is associated with? peptic ulcers
alters gastric secretion and produces tissue damage leading to? peptic ulcer disease
Aspirin and NSAIDS inhibit prostaglandis, increase gastric acid secretion and reduce the integrity of the mucosal barrietr Ulcerogenic drufs
