Parts of the colon ● The colon has a length of about 150 cm. ( 1.5 meters) (one-fifth of the whole length of GIT). ● It consists of the ascending & descending colon, transverse colon, sigmoid colon, rectum and anal canal. 3 ● The transit of radiolabeled chyme through 4 the large intestine occurs in 36-48 hrs. 2 They know this how?

Main colonic secretion is mucous, as the colon lacks digestive enzymes. ● The outer longitudinal muscle layer is modified to form three longitudinal bands called taenia coli visible on the outer surface.(Taenia coli: Three thickened bands of muscles.) ● Since the muscle bands are shorter than the length of the colon, the colonic wall is sacculated and forms haustra.(Haustra: Sacculation of the colon between the taenia.)

  • Short Bowel Syndrome with Intestinal Failure Were Randomized to Teduglutide (0.05 Mg/Kg/Day) Or Placebo for 24 Weeks
    Short Bowel (Gut) Syndrome LaTasha Henry February 25th, 2016 Learning Objectives • Define SBS • Normal function of small bowel • Clinical Manifestation and Diagnosis • Management • Updates Basic Definition • A malabsorption disorder caused by the surgical removal of the small intestine, or rarely it is due to the complete dysfunction of a large segment of bowel. • Most cases are acquired, although some children are born with a congenital short bowel. Intestinal Failure • SBS is the most common cause of intestinal failure, the state in which an individual’s GI function is inadequate to maintain his/her nutrient and hydration status w/o intravenous or enteral supplementation. • In addition to SBS, diseases or congenital defects that cause severe malabsorption, bowel obstruction, and dysmotility (eg, pseudo- obstruction) are causes of intestinal failure. Causes of SBS • surgical resection for Crohn’s disease • Malignancy • Radiation • vascular insufficiency • necrotizing enterocolitis (pediatric) • congenital intestinal anomalies such as atresias or gastroschisis (pediatric) Length as a Determinant of Intestinal Function • The length of the small intestine is an important determinant of intestinal function • Infant normal length is approximately 125 cm at the start of the third trimester of gestation and 250 cm at term • <75 cm are at risk for SBS • Adult normal length is approximately 400 cm • Adults with residual small intestine of less than 180 cm are at risk for developing SBS; those with less than 60 cm of small intestine (but with a

  • Electrophysiological Studies the Antrum Muscle Fibers of the Guinea
    Electrophysiological Studies of the Antrum Muscle Fibers of the Guinea Pig Stomach H. KURIYAMA, T. OSA, and H. TASAKI Downloaded from http://rupress.org/jgp/article-pdf/55/1/48/1244765/48.pdf by guest on 29 September 2021 From the Department of PhysiologT,Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Kyushu University, Fukuoka,Japan AB STRAC T The membrane potentials of single smooth muscle fibers of various regions of the stomach were measured, and do not differ from those measured in intestinal muscle. Spontaneous slow waves with superimposed spikes could be recorded from the longitudinal and circular muscle of the antrum. The develop- ment of tension was preceded by spikes but often tension appeared only when the slow waves were generated. Contracture in high K solution developed at a critical membrane potential of --42 my. MnCI~ blocked the spike generation, then lowered the amplitude of the slow wave. On the other hand, withdrawal of Na +, or addition of atropine and tetrodotoxin inhibited the generation of most of the slow waves but a spike could still be elicited by electrical stimula- tion. Prostigmine enhanced and prolonged the slow wave; acetylcholine de- polarized the membrane without change in the frequency of the slow waves. Chronaxie for the spike generation in the longitudinal muscle of the antrum was 30 msec and conduction velocity was 1.2 cm/sec. The time constant of the foot of the propagated spike was 28 reset. The space constants measured from the longitudinal and circular muscles of the antrum were 1.1 mm and 1.4 into, respectively. INTRODUCTION The early investigations of mammalian stomach muscle suggested that mem- brane activity consisted of spike and slow wave components (Alvarez and Mahoney, 1922; Richter, 1923; Bozler, 1938, 1942; and Ichikawa and Bozler, 1955; Daniel, 1965).

Mouth 2. Pharynx 3. Esophagus 4. Stomach 5. Small intestine 6. Large intestine 1. Mouth Mouth=buccal cavity Where food enters body, is tasted, broken down physically by teeth, lubricated & partially digested by saliva, & swallowed Teeth=structures that physically break down food by chewing & grinding in a process called mastication 1. Mouth Tongue=muscular organ, contains taste buds which allow for sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami (meaty or savory) sensations Tongue also aids in chewing & swallowing 1. Mouth Hard palate=bony structure, forms roof of mouth, separates mouth from nasal cavities Soft palate=behind hard palate; separates mouth from nasopharynx Uvula=cone-shaped muscular structure, hangs from middle of soft palate; prevents food from entering nasopharynx during swallowing 1. Mouth Salivary glands=3 pairs (parotid, sublingual, & submandibular); produce saliva Saliva=liquid that lubricates mouth during speech & chewing, moistens food so it can be swallowed Salivary amylase=saliva enzyme (substance that speeds up a chemical reaction) starts the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates (starches) into sugar 2. Pharynx Bolus=chewed food mixed with saliva Pharynx=throat; tube that carries air & food Air goes to trachea; food goes to esophagus When bolus is swallowed, epiglottis covers larynx which stops bolus from entering respiratory tract and makes it go into esophagus 3.
