1 Gastrointestinal Physiology
Liang Huawei, Ph.D.

2 Anatomy of gastrointestinal system
GI tract Accessory organs

3 Functions of gastrointestinal system
Movement: propels food through the digestive system Secretion: release of digestive juices in response to a specific stimulus Digestion: breakdown of food into molecular components small enough to cross the plasma membrane Absorption: passage of the molecules into the body's interior and their passage throughout the body Elimination: removal of undigested food and wastes

6 Physiological properties of gastrointestinal smooth muscle 消化道平滑肌的特性
General properties (一般特性) Low excitability High distensibility (扩张性) Tonic contraction Autorhythmicity High sensitivity to temperature, stretch and chemical stimulation

7 Electrophysiological properties (电生理特性)
Resting membrane potential 50 ~  60 mV Ionic basis Em (selective membrane permeability to K+, Na+, Cl and Ca2+) Electrogenic Na+-K+ pump

8 Slow wave (慢波电位) / Basic electrical rhythm (BER, 基本电节律)
The spontaneous rhythmic, subthreshold depolarizations of the cell membrane (slow wave) of the gastrointestinal tract Initiated in the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) (pace maker cell)

9 Santiago Ramon Y Cajal He and Camillo Golgi received the Nobel Prize in 1906 for introduction of the silver-chromate(铬酸银)stain

10 Slow wave / Basic electrical rhythm (BER) Intensity: 10~15 mV
Frequency: 3~12 cpm Ionic mechanism spontaneous rhythmic changes in Na+-K+ pump activity

11

12 Normal BER frequencies in the gastrointestinal system

13 Spike potential (Action potential)
Duration: 10~20 ms Ionic mechanism: Depolarization: Ca2+ influx Repolarization: K+ efflux

14

15 Neural control of gastrointestinal function (胃肠功能的神经调节)
Enteric nervous system (intrinsic) Autonomic nervous system (extrinsic)

16 Enteric (Intrinsic) nervous system
Submucosal plexus (Meissner’s plexus) Myenteric plexus (Auerbach’s plexus)

17 Neurotransmitters secreted by enteric neurons
Ach, NE, ATP, serotonin, dopamine, cholecystokinin(胆囊收缩素), substance P, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide(血管活性肠肽), somatostatin(生长抑素), etc.

18 Roles of enteric nervous system

19 Autonomic nervous system
Sympathetic nerve NE Inhibitory (-) Parasympathetic nerve Mainly ACh Stimulatory (+)

20

21 Gastrointestinal hormones 胃肠激素
The hormones synthesized by a large number of endocrine cells within the gastrointestinal tract Physiological functions Control of the digestive function Control of the release of other hormones Trophic action

22 Four main types Gastrin 促胃液素 Secretin 促胰液素 Cholecystokinin (CCK) 胆囊收缩素
Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) 抑胃肽

23

24 Brain-gut peptides 脑-肠肽
The peptides which are present in both brain and gut Gastrin 促胃液素 CCK P substance ……

25 Digestion in the stomach 胃内消化

26 Gastric juice 胃液 Properties Major components pH 0.9~1.5 1.5~2.5 L/day
Hydrochloric acid 盐酸 Pepsinogen 胃蛋白酶原 Mucus 粘液 Intrinsic factor 内因子

27

28 Hydrochloric acid 盐酸 Secreted by the parietal cells (壁细胞) Output
Basal: 0~5 mmol/h Maximal: 20~25 mmol/h

29 Mechanism of HCl secretion
Active transport H+ pump (proton pump)

30

31

32 Role of HCl Acid sterilization 杀菌 Activation of pepsinogen
Promotion of secretin (促胰液素) secretion Assisted effect of iron and calcium absorption

33 Pepsinogen 胃蛋白酶原 MW: 42,500 Secreted by the chief cells as an inactive precursor of pepsin Activated in the stomach, initially by H+ ions and then by active pepsin, autocatalytic activation Active pepsin (MW: 35,000)

34

35 Effect of pepsin Pepsin is an endopeptidase, which attacks peptide bonds in the interior of large protein molecules

36 Mucus 粘液 Secreted by the epithelial cells all over the mucosa and by the neck mucus cells in the upper portion of the gastric glands and pyloric glands Role Lubrication of the mucosal surface Protection of the tissue from mechanical damage by food particles

37

38 Mucus-HCO3- barrier

39

40

41 Intrinsic factor 内因子 A high molecular weight glycoprotein, synthesized and secreted by the parietal cells The intrinsic factor binds to Vit B12 and facilitates its absorption

42

43

44 Regulation of gastric secretion
Basic factors that stimulate gastric secretion Acetylcholine (+ all secretory cells) Gastrin (+ parietal cells) Histamine (+ parietal cells)

45

46 Nervous regulation ‘Short’ reflex pathways ‘Long’ autonomic pathways
‘Short’ excitatory reflexes: mediated by cholinergic neurons in the plexuses ‘Short’ inhibitory reflexes: mediated by nonadrenergic non-cholinergic (NANC) neurons ‘Long’ autonomic pathways ‘Long’ excitatory reflexes: parasympathetic ‘Long’ inhibitory pathways: sympathetic

47 Humoral regulation Excitatory Inhibitory ACh Histamine Gastrin
Somatostatin Secretin 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) Prostaglandin 前列腺素

48 Phases of gastric secretion
Cephalic phase 头期 Gastric phase 胃期 Intestinal phase 肠期

51 Inhibition of gastric secretion
HCl Fat (in the small intestine) Hyperosmotic fluids (高张溶液) Enterogastric reflex

52 Motor function of the stomach
Proximal stomach cardia 贲门 fundus 胃底 corpus (body)胃体 Distal stomach antrum 胃窦 pylorus 幽门 pyloric sphincter 幽门括约肌

53 Receptive relaxation 容受性舒张
Storage function (1.0~1.5 L) Vago-vagal reflex Peristalsis 蠕动 BER in the stomach

54 Emptying of the stomach 胃排空
Purpose of this activity To ‘sweep’ debris out of the digestive tract during the interdigestive period

55 Emptying rate Small particle > large particle
Isosmotic > hyper- & hypo-osmotic Carbohydrates > Protein > Fat Regular meal 4~6 hrs

56 Regulation of stomach emptying
Gastric factors that promote emptying Gastric food volume Gastrin Duodenal factors that inhibit stomach emptying Enterogastric nervous reflexes Fat Cholecystokinin
