Study Notes
Peptic Ulcer
- Omeprazole increases gastrin levels.
Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES)
- Transient relaxation of LES is related to GERD.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
- GERD can lead to Barrett's esophagus, a chronic condition.
Barrett's Esophagus
- Characterized by replacement of normal squamous epithelium with columnar epithelium.
Achalasia
- Causes relaxation of the LES, leading to dysphagia.
Gut-Brain Axis
- Intrinsic myenteric plexus plays a role in gut-brain communication.
Gut Hormones
- Gastrin, motilin, and ghrelin are important hormones in the gut.
- Omeprazole increases gastrin levels.
Cancer
- Helicobacter pylori infection can lead to dysplasia and eventually gastric cancer.
Vitamin Deficiency
- Pernicious anemia can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency.
Gut Motility
- Relaxation of the LES can lead to GERD.
Gut Nervous System
- Intrinsic myenteric plexus is part of the enteric nervous system.
- damage to the intrinsic myenteric plexus can lead to achalasia.
