Study Notes
MBBS Year 1 Gastrointestinal Lectures
- Lectures cover the overview of the digestive system, digestion and absorption of nutrients, salivary, gastric, and pancreatic secretions, bile and biliary system, and motility of the gut.
Salivary Secretions
- Salivary glands produce saliva, which has several functions:
- Lubricates food for easy swallowing
- Aids in chewing and digestion
- Helps in oral cavity cleanliness
- Has antibacterial properties
- Salivary secretion is controlled by the nervous system and hormones.
- Factors influencing salivary secretion include:
- Parasympathetic stimulation
- Sympathetic stimulation
- Hormonal stimulation
- Reflex stimulation
Gastric Acid Secretion
- Gastric acid secretion is divided into basal (fasting) and stimulated (post-prandial) phases.
- The three phases of gastric acid secretion are:
- Cephalic phase: triggered by the sight, smell, and taste of food
- Gastric phase: stimulated by the presence of food in the stomach
- Intestinal phase: influenced by the presence of food in the small intestine
- Mucus and bicarbonate secretion create a gastric mucosal barrier, protecting the stomach from acid and enzymes.
- The stomach epithelium undergoes structural changes during HCl secretion, forming a markedly increased tubulovesicular system for proton secretion.
Gastric Mucosal Defense
- The gastric mucosal barrier consists of:
- Mucus layer
- HCO3- secretion
- Tight junctions
- This barrier protects the stomach from acid and enzymes, maintaining a neutral pH.
Pancreatic Secretion
- Pancreatic juice has a physiological function of:
- Neutralizing duodenal content
- Aiding in protein digestion
- Factors causing release of secretin and cholecystokinin include:
- Presence of acid in the duodenum
- Presence of fats in the small intestine
- These intestinal hormones modify the composition of pancreatic juice, increasing HCO3- secretion and enzyme production.
Pancreatic Juice Composition
- Pancreatic juice is composed of:
- Aqueous component rich in HCO3
- Enzyme component
- Proteolytic enzymes (trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, procarboxypolypeptidase, ribonuclease, deoxyribonuclease)
- Amylase (breaks down starch and glycogen)
- Lipase (hydrolyzes neutral fat into glycerol and fatty acids)
