peristalsis 1.Occur in any part of the small intestine 2. Move analward at a slow velocity 3. Are weak and die out after traveling only 3 to 5 centimeters 4. The net movement of chyme in the small intestine is very slow

peristalsis

the entry of chyme into the duodenum

Distention of the stomach elicit peristalsis of small intestine through myenteric plexus, which is called gastroenteric reflex

Peristaltic rush Powerful and rapid peristalsis Is produced by intense irritation of the intestinal mucosa, infectious diarrhea Travel long distances to sweep the contents of the intestine into the colon and thereby relieve the small intestine irritative chyme and excessive distention

Ileocecal valve and ileocecal sphincter Sphincter remains constricted and slows the emptying of ideal contents into the cecum

cecum ileum

The lips of the ileocecal valve protrude into the lumen of the cecum to prevent the backflow of fecal contents from the colon into the small intestine

Chapter 64 Secretory functions of the alimentary tract Subserve two primary functions 1.digestive enzymes are secreted in most areas from the mouth to the distal end of the ileum 2. Mucous glands, from the mouth to the anus provide mucus for lubrication and protection of all parts of the alimentary tract

1. General principles of alimentary tract secretion 2. Secretion of saliva 3. Gastric secretion 4. Pancreatic secretion 5. Secretion of bile 6. Secretion of the small intestine and the large intestine

General principles of alimentary tract secretion

Basic mechanisms of stimulation of the alimentary tract glands Basic mechanism of secretion by glandular cells

Basic mechanisms of stimulation of the alimentary tract glands The presence of food in the gastrointestinal tract Tactile stimulation chemical irritation distension directly

Secretion of glands

Enteric nervous system

Basic mechanisms of stimulation of the alimentary tract glands Secretion of glands

Parasympathetic nerves

Increase the secretion

Sympathetic nerves Constriction of the blood vessels decrease the secretion

Basic mechanisms of stimulation of the alimentary tract glands Sympathetic stimulation can have s dual effect : 1. Sympathetic stimulation alone usually increase secretion 2. If other factors have caused copious secretion, superimposed sympathetic stimulation reduces the secretion because of vasoconstrictive reduction of the blood supply

Basic mechanisms of stimulation of the alimentary tract glands In the stomach and intestine, several different gastrointestinal hormones help regulate the secretion of glands. These hormones are liberated from the gastrointestinal mucosa in response to the presence of food in the lumen of food These hormones are absorbed into the blood and carried to the glands and stimulate the secretion

Basic mechanism of secretion by glandular cells Water and electrolyte Ductal cell Extracellular fluid

Glandular duct

Secretion of saliva parotid Salivary glands

submandibula r sublingual buccal

Serous secretion Serous secretion mucous secretion mucous secretion

Saliva contains two types of protein secretion: 1.Serous secretion: contains ptyalin, which is an enzyme for digesting starches 2.mucous secretion: contains mucin, which is for lubricating and surface protective purpose

Secretion of ions in the saliva Resting conditions Large quantities 7 times as great as of K+ that in plasam

saliva

Large quantities of HCO3A few of Na+ A few of Cl-

2 or 3 times One seventh or one tenth their concentrations inplasam

Secretion of ions in the saliva Submandibular salivary glands: acini and salivary ducts ducts

acini

Salivary secretion is a two-stage operation:

Acini secrete primary secretion

Ptyalin, mucin, ions

As the primary secretion flows through the ducts, two major active transport pocesses take place to modify the ionic

Secretion of ions in the saliva ducts ClNa+ K+ HCO3acini

1. Na+ are actively reabsorbed and K+ are actively secreted in exchange for the Na+ 2. There is excess of Na+ reabsorption over K+ secretion, so creates electrical negativity in the ducts, and in turn cause Clto be reabsorbed passively. 3. HCO3- are secreted into the lumen actively or by exchange of Cl-

Secretion of ions in the saliva 1. During maximal salivary, the salivary ionic concentrations change considerably ducts

acini

2. The rate of formation of primary secretion by the acini increase greatly 3. The acinar secretion then flows through the ducts so rapidly that the ductal reconditioning of the secretion is considerably reduced. 4. Compared with the saliva under resting conditions, the [Cl-] increase and the [K+] decrease.

Pyloric glands - secretion of mucus and gastrin Pyloric glands pepsinogen mucus gastrin

Lubricate food movement

Surface mucous cells Surface mucous cells lie on the surface of gastric mucosa between the glands. Surface mucous cells secrete large quantities of ciscid mucus Mucus is insoluble and coats the stomach mucosa with a gel layer, providing a mayor shell of protection for the stomach wall and contributing to lubrication of food transport Mucus is alkaline, therefore the normal underlying stomach wall is not directly exposed to the highly acidic

Regulation of gastric secretion acetylcholine Pepsinogen secretion HCl The rate of secretion of pepsinogen is strongly influenced by the amount of acid in the stomach

Feedback inhibition of gastric secretion of both acid and pepsinogen by excess acidity When the acidity of the gastric juices increases to de pH below 3.0, the gastric mechanism for stimulating gastric secretion becomes blocked. Block the secretion of gastrin excess acidity

Cause an inhibitory nervous reflex that inhibits gastric secretion

Feedback inhibition plays an important roles in protecting the stomach against excessive acidity and excessive pepsin concentration and also in maintaining optimal pH for function of the peptic enzymes

Acini also secrete trypsin inhibitor trypsin inhibitor prevents the activation of trypsin, therefore inhibit the other proteolytic enzymes trypsin inhibitor prevents the digestion of pancreas by trypsin and other enzymes When the pancreas is severely damaged, large quantities of pancreatic secretion become pooled in the damaged areas of the pancreas. Under these conditions, the effect of trypsin inhibitor is sometimes overwhelmed, so pancreatic secretions become activated and literally digest the pancreas, which produce a kind of disease called acute pancreatitis
