TRANSCRIPT

Stomach !Abdominal anatomy

- Abdomen: diaphragm to pelvic brim

- Antero-lateral muscular wall: external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominus

- Posterior: quadratus lumborum, psoas, spine

- Anterior wall supply:

- External iliac → inferior epigastric → superior epigastric → internal thoracic → subclavian

- Peritoneum = single-cell layer that covers organs and inner of anterior abdominal wall

- If visceral peritoneum only on anterior = retroperitoneal

- Mesentery = double-layer of peritoneum

- Connects small bowel to posterior wall and carries vessels

- Greater sac divided by the transverse mesocolon

- Behind gastro-hepatic ligament = lesser sac

- Contains gastro-epiploic foramen (of Winslow) that connects sacs

- Omentum connects stomach to other organs

- Lesser - liver

- Greater - transverse colon

- Foregut: mid-oesophagus to ampulla of Vater, coeliac trunk, greater splanchnic nerve

Peritoneum and associated structures

Abdominal wall blood supply

External iliac

Inferior epigastric

Superior epigastric

Internal thoracic

EXAM

PLE

- Midgut: to ⅔rd transverse colon, superior mesenteric artery, lesser splanchnic nerve

- Hindgut: to dentate line (rectum), inferior mesenteric artery, least splanchnic nerve

!Stomach

- Anterior: diaphragm, transverse colon, liver

- Posterior: pancreas, spleen, kidney

- Supply: right & left gastric, gastroepiploic, short gastric [splenic runs posterior]

- Drain to splenic and superior mesenteric veins

- Extra (external) oblique muscle layer

- Functions:

- Store & regulate release

- Protein & vit B12 digestion

- Immune defence

- Cephalo-gastric and gastro-gastric reflexes inhibit vagal contraction to fill without pressure rise

- Rugae also help filling without pressure increase

GIT embryology

Stomach anatomy

Coeliac axis branchesEX

AMPL

E

Lower oesophageal sphincter

- Competent if sphincter pressure exceeds gastric pressure, contributing factors:

- Muscular (physiological) sphincter itself

- Increase in intra-abdominal/-thoracic pressure with coughing, talking, exhalation

- Acute angle between oesophagus & stomach with mucosal flaps

- Gravity relatively minor role

- Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD): pain, cough, regurgitation

- Chronic oesophagitis may give Barrett's metaplasia (to gastric type)

- Increased cancer risk

Gastric physiology

- Parietal cells secrete H+ via proton pump (H+-ATPase) made by carbonic anhydrase (on H2O) + CO2)

- Target for proton pump inhibitors (e.g. omeprazole)

- Basolateral HCO3- excretion (for Cl-) makes alkaline

tide

- Control:

- Vagal innervation of parietal cells increases directly

- Indirectly: via gastrin from G-cells and binds CCKB-receptor on parietal cells

- Gastrin reduced by secretin (from duodenal S-cells in response to acid)

- Histamine (ECL cells) increases acid production at H2-R on parietal cells

- Target for histamine antagonists (e.g. ranitidine)

- Somatostatin inhibits directly on parietal cells

- Indirectly: via reducing histamine production from ECL cells

- Mucus increased by ACh (therefore at same time as acid) using PGE2

- Use of NSAIDs reduce PG production and predisposes to gastritis/ulcers

Gastric acid secretion

Cell type Secretions Function

Parietal cells Gastric acid and intrinsic factor

Denature protein, immune protection, pepsinogen activation

Chief cells Pepsinogen Protein digestion

APUD (amine precursor uptake decarboxylase) cells

Somatostatin Inhibit acid and increase mucus production

G-cells Gastrin Increase acid production

Mucus-secreting cells Alkaline mucus Protect epithelium from acid-damage

ECL (entero-chromaffin-like) cells

Histamine Increase acid production

EXAM

PLE

- Gastric motility

- Mixing in corpus

- Propulsion moves towards antrum

- Retropulsion back from antrum/pylorus to corpus

- Pylorus relaxes in response to: distention, small boluses, peptides

!Small bowel !Anatomy

- Duodenum: superior (coeliac) & inferior (SMA) pancreato-duodenal arteries

- Posterior to 1st: common bile duct, gastroduodenal artery and portal vein

- Posterior to 2nd: right kidney and ureter

- 3rd: around head of pancreas, crossed by root of the mesentery & SMA

- 4th: ligament of Trietz at duodeno-jejunal junction with IMV to left

- Histology:

- Brunner's glands: deep, alkaline-secreting, only in duodenum

Helicobacter pylori

- Bacterium specialised to living in stomach

- Associated with peptic ulcer disease

- Urease produces an alkaline coat

- Flagella to bury into mucus

- Inhibits somatostatin secretion → increases acid

Control of gastric acid

Duodenal anatomy

EXAM

PLE

- Simple columnar with microvilli

- Jejunum (2/5th): thicker with smaller lumen

- Plicae circulares (/valvulae conniventes) = folds in small bowel

- Villae (= mucosae) with crypts of Leiberkuhn at base (new cells produced at base)

- Peyer's patches = lymphoid aggregates

- B-cells make secretory IgA that prevent pathogen adhesion

- Panneth cells secrete lysozyme

!!!!!!!!!!Absorption

!Water & ions

- Basolateral Na+/K+-ATPase gives concentration gradient for apical facilitated diffusion: co-transport with glucose, amino acids and chloride

- Water via osmosis through leaky occluding junctions in upper GIT and small bowel

- Large bowel through aquaporins and transcellular movement

- More controlled

- K+ and Cl- move by paracellular transport; plus H+/K+-ATPase absorbs K+ in colon

!Ca2+

- Facilitated uptake in duodenum - binds calbindin inside cells (keeps gradient)

- Basolateral efflux by Ca2+-ATPase or Na+/Ca2+-antiporter

- PTH increases channel activity and vitamin D increases calbindin synthesis

!Ⓒ One 2 One Medicine: Pre-clinical revision course 2014 Page ! of !8 20

- Peritoneal cavity has a greater and lesser sac, separated by the stomach and it’s attachments

- Mesentery is double-layered peritoneum containing neurovascular supply

- Gastric parietal cells produce acid using H+/K+-ATPase

- Duodenum is retroperitoneal and is both fore- & mid-gut

Sodium & water absorption in the small bowel
