main Physiological functions of the GI system
Assimilation of nutrients
Digestion is composed of:
2. Chemical degragation
How does the GI tract serves the Assimilation of nutrients?
STOMACH-
Role of Spincters?
- Regulate the caudal movement of bowel
Accsessory glands?
salivary
Liver
Gallbladder
Pancreas
Paneth cells release?
Antimicrobial peptides
GALT components
Paneth cells
Payer’s patches
whos responsible for chewing and swallowing?
CNS
Submucosal plexus=
meissner’s
ENS from where to where?
lower 1/3 of esophagus until outer rectal spincter
ENS local control on?
types of ENS neurons
Afferent neurons
Interneurons
Efferent neurons
Efferent neurons of ENS innervates
Autonomic NS Parasympathetic division
2. Sacral Spinal cord
Autonomic NS Sympathetic division
Thoraco-Lumbar region -> Sympathetic Ggl (Celiac, SM, IM)
modulation of ENS by Parasympathetic NS
**Preganglionic, cholinergic
Mainly stimulates motility and secretion
modulation of ENS by Sympathetic NS
