Question
Answer
7 GI layers (outer to inner)   Serosa, longitudinal muscle, Auerbach/myenteric plexus, circular muscle, submucosa (Meissner plexus), mucosa (muscularis mucosa, lamina propria, epithelium)  
🗑
MALT (mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue) is in which layer?   Lamina propria  
🗑
3 pairs of major salivary glands   Parotid, submandibular, suplingual  
🗑
Superficial layer of esophagus is called ___. It is not serosa because ___.   Adventitia. Because its areolar connective tissue is not covered by mesothelium, and bc its connective tissue merges with connective tissue of surrounding structures.  
🗑
In the stomach, chief cells secrete (2):   pepsinogen and gastric lipase  
🗑
In the stomach, parietal cells produce (2):   intrinsic factor and HCl  
🗑
In the stomach, G cells secrete (1):   gastrin  
🗑
Function of stellate reticuloendothelial (Kupffer) cells:   Fixed phagocytes that are located in sinusoids: destroy old WBC, RBC, bacteria, other foreign matter in venous blood from GI tract  
🗑
In intestine, function of paneth cells (2)   secrete lysozyme; phagocytosis  
🗑
Enteroendocrine cells in small intestine (3):   S cells, CCK cells, K cells  
🗑
S cells secrete:   secretin  
🗑
CCK cells secrete:   CCK (cholecystokinin)  
🗑
K cells secrete:   GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide)  
🗑
Duodenal (Brunner's) glands secrete:   alkaline mucus (neutralizes gastric acid in chyme)  
🗑
Fetal development: GI tract first rises in the:   endoderm (forms the primitive gut)  
🗑
Fetal development: mesoderm gives rise to (2):   smooth muscle and connective tissue  
🗑
Fetal development: ectoderm forms the (2):   stomodeum (oral cavity) and proctodeum  
🗑
Cells that form an extensive network of stellate cells in muscle layers of GI tract; associated with smooth muscle cells & enteric neurons =   interstitial cells of Cajal  
🗑
Substance that binds to M3-type muscarinic receptors in parietal cells to stimulate H+ secretion =   Acetylcholine  
🗑
3 substances that stimulate H+ secretion during feeding   Acetylcholine, gastrin, histamine  
🗑
Histamine MOA for H+ secretion   secreted by ECL & mast cells, binds to parietal cell H2 receptors to activate adenylyl cyclase & increase cAMP, which activates protein kinase A to stimulate H+ secretion  
🗑
Gastrin is a peptide hormone of (#) or (#) amino acids; somatostatin is a peptide of (#) or (#) amino acids.   Gastrin has 17 or 34. Somatostatin has 14 or 28  
🗑
3 phases of acid secretion during feeding   cephalic phase; gastric phase; intestinal phase  
🗑
Protective MOA in stomach's mucous layer for H pylori   Urease converts urea to CO2 and ammonia (latter of which buffers luminal acid & protect H pylori)  
🗑
How you get B12   Dietary B12 binds with haptocorrin, which pancreatic proteases digest in duodenum; in low-acid small intestine, intrinsic factor binds with B12, and complex is taken up by ileum epithelial cells  
🗑
Zollinger Ellison syndrome MOA   Recurrent PUD; Gastrinoma increases gastrin production; Gastric acid hypersecretion  
🗑
The main vagal mediator that stimulates GI/gastric contraction is:   Acetylcholine  
🗑
2 neuronal mediators that inhibit GI/gastric contraction:   VIP and nitric oxide  
🗑
Secretin (stimulated by acid) has what effect on gastric contraction?   inhibits antral contraction and stimulates pyloric sphincter contraction to slow gastric emptying  
🗑
CCK (stimulated by fat) has what effect on gastric emptying?   acts on vagal nerve receptors to decrease emptying  
🗑
The invaginations between small intestinal villi are called:   crypts of Lieberkuhn  
🗑
Life span of enterocytes, goblet cells, and enteroendocrine cells (on villi):   4-6 days  
🗑
Life span of Paneth cells:   60 days  
🗑
2 most common phyla of commensal bacteria in intestine   Bacteroides and Firmicutes  
🗑
Neurotransmitter secretagogues in the small intestine (2)   VIP and acetylcholine  
🗑
Paracrine secretagogues in the small intestine (4)   bradykinin, serotonin, histamine, prostaglandins  
🗑
peptide associated with the migrating myoelectric complexes   motilin (22 amino acids)  
🗑
