Gastrointestinal System
Anatomy
Abdominal wall
Layers (superficial to deep)
Skin
Camper's fascia
Scarpa's fascia
External oblique muscle
Internal oblique muscle
Transverse abdominis
Transversalis fascia
Preperitoneal fat
Peritoneum
Peritoneum
Simple squamous epithelial cells (called mesothelium)
Retroperitoneal organs
Pancreas
Kidneys & adrenal glands
Ascending/descending colon
Most of duodenum
Rectum
Proximal ureters
GI tract
Divisions
Foregut
(Division: point point where bile duct enters duodenum)
Midgut
(Division: 2/3 across transverse colon)
Hindgut
Layers of GI tract wall (inner to outer)
Mucosa
Submucosa
Muscularis externa
Serosa
Blood supply
Arterial supply (branches of ascending aorta)
foregut = Celiac trunk
midgut = Superior mesenteric artery
hindgut = Inferior mesenteric artery
Venous drainage
Portal vein --> Liver --> Hepatic vein --> IVC
Stomach
Regions
1) Cardia
2) Fundus
3) Body
4) Pylorus
S. Intestine
Regions
1) Duodenum
2) Jejunum
3) Ileum
Valvulae conniventes = mucosal folds of mall intestine
L. Intestine
Regions
1) Cecum
2) Ascending colon
3) Transverse colon
4) Descending colon
5) Sigmoid colon
6) Rectum
Haustra = pouches in l. intestine
Innervation
Extrinsic nerves
Parasympathetic (vagal) & sympathetic influence on motility and secretions
Intrinsic/enteric nerves
Myenteric plexus
In muscularis externa
Controls mainly smooth muscle contraction/tone
Submucosal plexus
Controls mainly GI secretions and blood flow
In submucosa
Pacemaker cells found within muscularis
Segments of abdominopelvic cavity
Right & left hypochondriac
Epigastric
Right & left flank/lumbar
Umbilical
Right & left iliac/inguinal
Pubic/hypogastric
Horizontal divisions:
Transpyloric plane - L1
Transtubercular plane - L5
Histology
Digestion
Motility
S. intestine
Migrating motility complex (MMC)
Segmentation contractions
L. intestine
Haustral contractions
Mass movement
Stomach & eosophagus
Peristalsis
3 phases of digestion
Cephalic phase
Gastric phase
Intestinal phase
Glucose
Methods of production of more glucose (in response to starvation)
Glycogenolysis
breakdown of glucagon to glucose
Gluconeogenesis
generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon substrates
Lactate
Amino acids (from proteins)
Glycerol (from lipids)
Alternative fuel substrates to glucose
Ketone bodies
Free fatty acids
Cori Cycle
cycle of lactate <-> glucose between muscle & liver
Starvation
Released
Glucagon
from alpha cells in pancreas
Adrenaline
from adrenal medulla
Cortisol
from adrenal medulla
Enzymes
Gastric lipase
Pepsinogen
Chief cells
Brush-border enzymes
Maltase
[Maltose → 2x α-glucose]
Sucrase-isomaltase
[Sucrose → α glucose + fructose ]
Lactase
[Lactase → β glucose + galactose]
Hormones
Gastrin
G cells
Stimulates gastric acid secretion (parietal cells)
Ghrelin
Ghrelinergic cells (called P/D1 cells in stomach)
Secreted when stomach is empty (stretching inhibits release)
Cholecystokinin (CCK)
I cells
Stimulates release of pancreatic enzymes
Secretin
S cells
Stimulates pancreatic (bicarbonate) and bile secretions in response to low pH
Somatostatin
D cells
Inhibits
Leptin
Adipose cells
Acts on arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus to decrease appetite
Motilin
M cells
Increases motility (increases MMCs)
Gastric inhibitory peptide
K cells
Inhibits gastric acid secretion & stimulates insulin release
Other substances
HCl
Parietal cells
Intrinsic factor
Histmaine
ECL cells
Liver
