Term
What are the branches of the celiac trunk?
Definition
Hepatic, splenic, and left gastric
Term
What are the major collateral circulations in the GI tract?
Definition
Internal thoracic --> superior epigastric
Sup pancreaticoduodenal (celiac trunk)--> inf pancreaticoduodenal (SMA)
Middle colic (SMA) --> Left colic (IMA)
Superior rectal (IMA) --> middle rectal (internal iliac)
Term
What is the difference in the venous drainage above and below the pectinate line?
Definition
Above = sup rectal v --> IMV --> portal system
Below = inf rectal vein --> internal pudendal v --> internal iliac v --> IVC
Term
Which are more painful, internal or external hemorrhoids?
Definition
EXTERNAL = somatic innvervation = pain
(internal = visceral innervation = no pain)

Term
What is contained in the spermatic cord?
Definition
ductus deferens, testicular a, pampiniform plexus, deferential a and v, genital br and genitalfemoral n
Outside = inguinal lig covering ext spermatic fascia, cremasteric mm and fascia and internal spermatic fascia
Term
What layers make up the ext spermatic fascia, cremasteric fascia and internal spermatic fascia?
Definition
External = external oblique
Cremasteric = Internal abd oblique
Internal = Transversalis fascia
Term
What are the locations of indirect and direct inguinal hernias?
Definition
MDs don't LIe
Medial to inf epigastric a = Direct hernia
Lateral to inf epigastric a = Indirect hernia
Term
What layers cover an indirect vs direct hernia?

Indirect = all 3 layers of spermatic fascia
Direct = external spermatic fascia ONLY
Term
What is Hasselbach's triangle?
Definition
Inf epigastric a, lateral border of rectus abd, inguinal lig
Where direct hernias occur
Term
Gastrin
Definition
G cells in antrum
H+ secretion, growth of gastric mucosa and increased gastric motility
Phe and Trp are stimulators
Term
Cholecystokinin
Definition
I cells in duodenum/jejunum
Pancreatic secretion, gallbladder contr, decreased gastric emptying and sphinter of oddi relaxation
Term
Secretin
Definition
S cells in duodenum
Increased pancreatic bicarb secretion, decreased gastric acid secretion and increased bile secretion
(bicarb neutralizes acid in duo, allowing pancreatic enz's to fxn)
Term
Somatostatin
Definition
D cells in pancreatic islet and Gi mucosa
decreased gastric acid/pepsinogen, decreased pancreatic fluid secret, decreased gallbladder contr and decreased insulin/glucagon release
Anti-GH effects
Term
GIP
Definition
K cells in duo and jej
Decreased gastric acid secretion and increased insulin release
(glucose-insulinotropic peptide or gastric inhibitory peptide)
Term
VIP
Definition
Parasympathetic ganglia
Increased intestinal water and electrolyte secretion, relax of intestinal smooth mm and sphinters
DIARRHEA
Term
Motilin
Definition
Small intestine
MMC's
increased in fasting state
Term
What regulates the secretion of gastric acid?
Definition
Increases: histamine, ACh, gastrin
Decreases: somatostatin, GIP, prostaglandin, secretin
Term
What makes up saliva?
Definition
Increased K and HCO3
Decreased Na and Cl
HYPOtonic (unless low flow rate --> isotonic)
Term
What is the innervation to G cells in the antrum?
Definition
Vagus, but transmitter is GRP (NOT ACh), so atropine has no effect!
So atropine decreases direct acid secretion from vagal stim, but NOT acid secretion from gastrin stimulation
Term
What signaling pathways do ACh, Gastrin and Histamine act through to stimulate H+ secretion?
Definition
ACh and Gastrin = IP3/Ca
Histamine = cAMP (prostaglandins and somatostatin block this)
Term
What makes up pancreatic juice? What regulates this?
Definition
High bicarb, low Cl, always isotonic
Secretin causes increased bicarb and decreased Cl
Term
Where is Fe, folate and B12 absorbed?
Definition
Iron = duodenum
Folate = Jejunum
B12 = ileum (w/ bile acids, req's intrinsic factor from parietal cells)
Term
What enzymes regulate pancreatic juice (and where do they act)?
Definition
Secretin = bicarb (cAMP on ductal cells)
CCK = enz's by acinal cells (IP3)
ACh = enz's by acinar cells
Term
What is Warthin's tumor?
Definition
benign
heterotopic salivary gland tissue trapped in LN surrounded by lymphatic tissue
Term
What are the major causes of esophagitis?
Definition
Reflux, infection (HSV-1, CMV, Candida) or chemical ingestion
Term
Dysphagia (esophageal webs), glossitis and Fe deficiency anemia
Definition
Plummer-Vinson syndrome
Term
PAS-positive macrophages in intestinal lamina propria, mesenteric nodes. Arthalgias, cardiac and neuro symptoms
Older men
Definition

Term
What disease causes fat accumulation in enterocytes of the intestine?
Definition
Abetalipoproteinemia
No apo-B48 or B-100 to secrete chylomicrons from the intestine
