  • Random hydrolysis of peptide bonds (in vitro)

    10-12 hours in 12 mol/L HCl at 105 degrees
  • Digestion and propagation of chime in GI tract

    Controlled by combined action of motor activity of sphincters and gut wall
  • Parasympathic nervous system

    - Gut receives input from autonomic nervous system (ANS)
    - Connects by vagus neve and pelvic nerve
    - Both contain efferent (motor) and afferent (sensory) fibers --> inform brain about gut status
    - Neurotransmitter is acetylcholine
  • Intrinsic nervous system (ENS)

    - Most ENS cells are derived from vagal neural crest cells (NCCs)
    - Consists of myenteric and submucosal plexus
    - Contain many neurotransmitters and hormones
    - Major part of intergration in control of gut motility
  • Sympathic nervous system

    - Part of extrinsic neurvous system
    - Inhibition of gut motility
    - Neurotransmitter is noradrenalin
  • Secretory and motor behaviours - neurocrine

    - Mediated by nerves, synapses and neurotransmitters
    - Transmission in gut or central nervous system
  • Secretory and motor behaviours - endocrine

    - Release of transmitters (hormones) by entero-endocrine sensore cells --> reach their target via blood
  • Secretory and motor behaviours - paracrine

    - sensing cell releases a transmitter substance that mediates the response in neighbouring cells
    - Acid secretion in stomach is partially paracrine regulated
  • Migrating motor complex - MMC

    Clean small bowel of any remaining material and prevents bacterial overgrowth from gut flora in large bowel
    - Every 90 minutes
    - Stops when food enters stomach (digestive period)
    - Phase 1: motor quiescence (40 min. rest)
    - Phase 2: irregular movements (40 min start peristalsis)
    - Phase 3: strong peristaltic contractions (10 min. max peristalsis) --> remove indigestible food
  • Transit time - small bowel

    1.5 hour
