Slide 2 ______
Learning Outcomes: ______
➢ LO1 - Explain the integration and control mechanisms of swallowing (oral, pharyngeal and oesophageal phases) and control ______of lower oesophageal sphincter function.
➢ LO2 - Define the motility patterns in fasted and fed states of the intestinal tract ______
➢ LO3 - Define motility in the small and large intestine (peristalsis, haustrations, mass movements) ______
➢ LO4 - Define how we remove indigestible matter (anatomy of the ano-rectum, defecation and external anal sphincter control) ______
______
Slide 3 LO2 ______Swallowing (deglutition)
Phase I - ORAL Phase II - PHARYNGEAL Phase III - OESOPHAGEAL VOLUNTARY INVOLUNTARY INVOLUNTARY ______
______
______• Food bolus formed by • Soft palate rises • UOS contracts mastication • Epiglottis closes • Bolus moved by peristalsis • Tongue moves up and • Pharynx contracts • LOS relaxes backwards • UOS relaxes Pharynx ______UOS Pharynx
Oesophageal ______body BRAIN Tactile/distension STEM Striated muscle receptors LOS ______Smooth muscle UOS relaxes
Slide 4 ______Entry of food into the stomach ______
LOS = lower oesophageal sphincter BRAIN ______Ach = acetylcholine STEM VIP = vasoactive intestinal polypeptide Vagal NO = nitric oxide afferent fibre ______
Crural ______diaphragm Ach Phrenic nerve LOS VIF (VIP/NO) ______VEF (Ach) LOS pressure Vagal efferent ______fibres
Slide 5 LO2 ______Gastric motility ______lower oesophageal sphincter Pyloric Fundus ______sphincter “Pacemaker Duodenum zone” - peristaltic ______contractions Corpus “acid-secreting” ______Antrum “muscular pump” ______
______= retropulsion
Slide 6 LO2 ______Control of smooth muscle contraction – Interstitial cells of Cajal are pacemakers of the gut ______
ICC cell network Slow wave conducted to smooth muscle Slow wave mechanism ______L type Ca2+ current & action potential mechanism Action potentials ______
25 mV BER ______
1.5g ______Mechanical recording
Basal electrical rhythm (BER) originates in ICC, but itself does not cause contraction; when spike potentials occur at maximum depolarisation of BER due to ______Ca2+entry, the result is contraction Slide 7 LO2 ______Motility in the interdigestive period - The Migrating Myoelectric Complex (MMC) ______
71% antrum III – motilin, ghrelin & vagus nerve ______
29% duodenum III – somatostatin, Serotonin (5-HT) and xenin ______
Phases of MMC Distal small intestine ______III ~130 min Feeding II disrupts the I IV Colon cycle ______
I - quiescence; II - random contractions; III - burst of contractions (max. ______amplitude & duration); IV - rapid decrease of contractions.
Slide 8 LO2 ______LO3 Intestinal movement - segmentation
Alternate contraction and relaxation of adjacent ______segments causes thorough mixing of food contents ______
______
______
______
______
Slide 9 LO2 ______LO3 Intestinal movement - peristaltic reflex
