Study Notes
Gastrointestinal System and Accessory Organs
- CLO5: Disorders of the Gastrointestinal System and its Accessory Organs
- Course: HIM 2113
- Instructor: Dr. Riaz Akseer
Pathogenesis of the Gastrointestinal System and its Accessory Organs
- Define and explain the pathogenesis of the Gastrointestinal System and its Accessory Organs.
Anatomy of the Digestive System
- Normal Anatomy of the Digestive System is explained with diagrams depicting the components.
Oral Cavity
- Anatomy of the oral cavity, both sagittal and anterior views are detailed with labeled components
- The structures include hard palate, soft palate, tongue, teeth, salivary glands etc
Salivary Glands
- Anatomy and openings of sublingual, submandibular, and parotid glands are described with figures.
Swallowing
- The process of swallowing is explained in stages with diagrams (Buccal, Pharyngeal, and Esophageal phases).
Peristalsis
- The process of peristalsis, a wave-like muscle contraction that pushes food through the digestive tract.
Esophagus
- The esophagus is the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach.
- Lower esophageal sphincter is described
Stomach
- The stomach is a stretchy bag that holds food after eating.
- It mixes food with gastric juices (acid) to break food into smaller pieces.
- Anatomy of the stomach and its position are noted in figures.
Stomach Wall
- The layers and structures of the stomach wall are detailed with labeled components.
Gastric Glands
- The different components and cells making up the gastric gland are noted with diagrams.
Small Intestine
- The small intestine is 6 meters long and receives food from the stomach.
- It digests and absorbs nutrients with the help of pancreatic enzymes.
- Food stays in the small intestines for 4-8 hours.
- The parts (Duodenum, Jejunum, and Ileum) are shown in diagrams.
- The anatomy of the small intestine is detailed with labeled components and figures of section views and overall structure.
Large Intestine
- A 1.5-meter long tube that absorbs water and receives waste from the small intestine.
- Waste remains in the large intestine for 10-12 hours.
- Parts such as the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, cecum, and rectum are highlighted.
Large Intestine Wall
- Structure and components of the large intestine wall are noted.
Accessory Organs of Digestion
- The organs aiding digestion, such as the Liver, Gallbladder, and Pancreas, are described, along with their location and function.
Liver Anatomy
- Different views of the liver and its location are detailed.
- Sections of the liver are included in different anatomical levels.
Liver Functions
- The liver produces bile, antibodies, and detoxifies harmful substances.
- The liver stores vitamins and blood.
Pancreas
- Produces enzymes aiding food digestion.
Gastritis
- Inflammation of the stomach mucosa.
- Pathophysiology, etiology (causes), signs, symptoms, investigations, treatment, and complications are included.
Peptic Ulcer Disease
- Describes duodenal and gastric ulcers, ulcer development. Figures showing sectional views and components are included.
Appendicitis
- Bacterial infection of the appendix
- Its cause, signs, symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatment, and complications are provided.
Disorders of the Small & Large Intestine-Colorectal Cancer
- Details on colorectal cancer, cancer location, risk factors (family history, high-fat diet, low fiber), symptoms (rectal bleeding, change in stool shape, progressive constipation, anemia, anorexia, nausea, weight loss, abdominal distention, pain), complications (intestinal obstruction), diagnosis, and treatment are included.
Diseases of the Liver- Hepatitis
- Different types of (viral) hepatitis (A, B, C, D, E) are discussed regarding causes, mechanisms, symptoms, and treatment. Hepatitis profile (blood tests), signs, symptoms, and investigations are noted.
Liver Cirrhosis
- A chronic, irreversible liver disease, with causes (alcoholism, bile duct disease, chronic hepatitis), symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment highlighted.
Gallstones and blocked bile duct
- A common cause for hospitalization.
- Often asymptomatic until stones enter and block ducts, causing sharp pain. Treatment is typically surgical (cholecystectomy).
- Risk factors for gallstones include fat, fertility, age (40+), and gender (females).
Acute Pancreatitis
- Acute inflammation of the pancreas caused by pancreatic digestive enzymes (auto-digestion).
- Etiology, pathophysiology, symptoms (severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, high WBC, high serum amylase and lipase, high glucose levels, dilated small bowel, pancreas calcification), diagnosis, and treatment (NPO, IV fluids, Pain killers, Treatment of underlying causes) are described. Mortality rate is approximately 20%.
Overview of the Digestive System
- Summary of the main components, their location, and functions.
