Study Notes
Gastrointestinal System and Accessory Organs
- The presentation covers disorders of the gastrointestinal system and its accessory organs.
- The material includes the anatomy of the digestive system, focusing on the reflected small intestine, and normal anatomy of various parts, including the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, appendix, large intestine, gallbladder, liver, and pancreas.
- It details the oral cavity, including hard and soft palates, tongue, and salivary glands.
- It discusses swallowing (buccal, pharyngeal, esophageal phases) and peristalsis (movement of food through the digestive tract)
- The stomach's function is described as a stretchy bag that holds ingested food, mixing it with gastric juices to break it down.
- The slides detail the structure and functions of various parts of the stomach including layers (serosa, muscularis, submucosa, mucosa).
- The presentation discusses the small intestine, mentioning its length (6 meters), role in digesting and absorbing nutrients with pancreatic enzymes, and the duration food remains there (24-48 hours).
- The large intestine absorbs water and receives waste from the small intestine.
- The accessory organs include the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. The liver's function is as a factory for antibodies and bile, detoxification device and stores vitamins.
- Gallbladder is shaped like a pear, situated under the liver, and secretes bile to aid fat breakdown.
- The pancreas produces enzymes that aid digestion.
- The content discusses disorders like gastritis, its causes (irritants, bacteria/viral infections, peptic ulcers, bile acid reflux), symptoms (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting), diagnostic tests (CBC, stool test, endoscopy) and treatments.
- The presentation also covers peptic ulcer disease (including duodenum, gastric mucosa, causes like H.pylori infection, family history, smoking, stress, NSAIDs), symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.
- Appendicitis is described as a bacterial infection of the appendix, which requires prompt surgery, often due to trapped feces. It lists symptoms (fever, abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea, vomiting).
- Diagnostic tests and treatments for appendicitis are explained as well: temperature, Mc Burney’s sign, blood test. Ultrasound, and surgery (appendectomy).
- Different types of hepatitis are listed according to causes (toxic liver disease, alcohol, viral ie hepatitis A,B,C,D & E), discussing features like incubation times, symptoms (and related diagnostics), treatment approaches.
- Liver cirrhosis discussed, mentioning causes (alcoholism, bile duct disease, chronic hepatitis). Symptoms and diagnosis.
- The presentation contains information on gallstones and their impact on the bile duct, which is a common cause of hospitalization, and includes discussions on other related conditions like cholecystitis.
- It discusses acute pancreatitis outlining the causes (obstruction of main pancreatic duct and chronic alcohol ingestion),signs, symptoms and treatment: NPO, IV fluids, analgesics, treat underlying cause.
- Lastly slide 68 lists overview of major components of the digestive system with their functions.
