  2. Gastrointestinal System 1. G.I. Physiology: general organization of G.I. tract 2. Mastication and deglutition 3. Gastric secretion 4. Regulation of gastric secretion 5. Pathophysiology of peptic ulcer 6. Biliary and pancreatic secretions 7. Physiology of colon 8. Pathophysiology of diarrhea disease

  3. Gastrointestinal System includes GI tract plus the accessory organs.

  4. Four processes carried out by the GI tract

  5. Digestive secretions from the liver and the pancreas are delivered into the duodenum of the small intestine through the sphincter of Oddi.

  6. Functions of small intenstine movements • Mixes the luminal contents with secretions • Brings the contents nto contact with the epithelial surface • Slowly advances the luminal material toward the large intenstine

  7. Structure of the GI Tract Wall

  8. Structure of the GI Tract Wall

  9. (I) Physiological properties of gastrointestinal smooth muscle (1) General properties - Low excitability - High extensibility - Tonic contraction - Autorhythmicity - High sensitivity to temperature, stretch & chemical stimulation

  10. (2) Electrophysiological properties • (a) Resting potential: • - between -50 and -60 Mv - Ionic basis • -Em (selective membrane permeability to K+) -Electrogenic Na+-K+ pump

  11. (b) Slow wave (basic electrical rhythm,BER) • - The spontaneous rhythmic, subthreshold depolarizations of the cell membrane (slow wave) of the gastrointestinal tract • - Initiated in the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) (pacemaker cell)

  12. Slow wave (basic electrical rhythm) - Intensity: 5~15 mV - Frequency: 3~12 cpm - Ionic mechanism spontaneous rhythmic changes in Na+-K+ pump activity

  13. Frequencies: 3-12 per minute

  14. (c) Spike potentials (action potentials) • only at the peaks of slow waves • Threshold: -40 mV

  15. Spike potential (Action potential) -Duration: 10~20 ms -Ionic mechanism: • Depolarization: Ca2+ influx • Repolarization: K+ efflux

  16. The higher the slow wave potential rises, the greater the frequency of the spike potentials

  17. (II) Neural control of gastrointestinal function Enteric nervous system Extrinsic nervous system

  18. Myenteric plexus : control over GI motility Submucous plexus: regulate gastrointestinal blood flow and control GI secretion

  19. (III) Hormonal Regulation --GI hormones • The hormones synthesized by a large number of endocrine cells within the gastrointestinal tract • Brain-gut peptides: a number of the classical GI hormones are also synthesized in the brain

  20. Four main types • Gastrin • Cholecystokinin • Secretin • Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP)

  21. (IV) Phases of Gastrointenstinal Control • Cephalic phase • Gastric phase • Intenstinal phase • Three phase of gastric secretion.swf

  22. Summary • Terms: - Basic electrical rhythm (BER) or slow waves - Gastrointestinal (GI) hormones • Three phase of gastric secretion

  23. Mouth, Pharynx, and Esophagus • Secretion of saliva The Salivary Glands • Parotid gland • Mandibular gland • Sublingual gland

  24. Saliva 1000 ml/d pH 6.0~7.0 Composition of saliva -H2O -Na+, Cl-, K+, HCO3--Mucus (containing mucin) -Amylase, lysozyme, …

  25. Swallowing

  26. Digestion in the Stomach

  27. Chief cells synthesize and secrete the protease precursor known as pepsinogen. Parietal cells synthesize and secrete the hydrochloric acid responsible for the acidic pH in the gastric lumen.

  28. (I) Gastric juice • Hydrochloric acid Secreted by the parietal cells Output - Basal: 0~5 mmol/h - Maximal: 20~25 mmol/h

  29. Acid production by the parietal cells in the stomach depends on the generation of carbonic acid; subsequent movement of hydrogen ions into the gastric lumen results from primary active transport.

  30. Four chemical messengers regulate HCl secretion

  31. Role of HCl - Acid sterilization - Activation of pepsinogen - Promotion of secretin secretion - Assisted effect of iron and calcium absorption

  32. (2) Pepsinogen

  33. (3) Mucus-HCO3- barrier

  34. If the mucus-HCO3- barrier is weak?

  35. (4) Intrinsic factor • A high molecular weight glycoprotein, synthesized and secreted by the parietal cells • •The intrinsic factor binds to Vit B12 and facilitates its absorption

  36. (II) Regulation of gastric secretion (1) Basic factors that stimulate gastric secretion - Acetylcholine (+ all secretory cells) - Gastrin (+ parietal cells) - Histamine (+ parietal cells)

  37. (2) Nervous regulation • ‘Short’ reflex pathways • ‘Long’ autonomic pathways

  38. (3) Humoral regulation

  39. (4) Phases of gastric secretion • Cephalic phase • Gastric phase • Intestinal phase

  40. Motor Function of the Stomach

  41. Motor Function of the Stomach • Receptive relaxation - Storage function (1.0~1.5 L) - Vago-vagal reflex • Peristalsis - BER in the stomach

  42. Motor Function of the Stomach

  43. Emptying of the stomach Emptying rate - Fluid > viscous - Small particle > large particle - Isosmotic > hyper- & hypo-osmotic - Carbohydrates > Protein > Fat - Regular meal 4~6 hrs

  44. Summary Terms: - Receptive relaxation (Storage function of the stomach) - Mucus-HCO3- barrier - Intrinsic factor Gastric secretion (including the composition and physiological function of the gastric juice, the regulation of gastric secretion)

  45. Pancreatic Secretion
