Monday biochemistry question:
Cindee Evenson

The biochemistry of the enantiomers is different because the are chiral, meaning they have right or left handedness with two different nonsuperimposable mirror image forms. One hand does not match the other when superimposed. Amino acids and carbohydrates are both chiral. The body only recognizes right handedness.

I found the article on population biology interesting. The graphing section is good look at the way data can be expressed and analyzed. It is a good set up for reviewing for those standardized test question that involve retrieval of info from graphs, charts,......etc

The random sampling activity looked like students would be engaged. I'm not sure how I would use this in my class but the concept seems workable.

Hormones and Reflexes

4 Hormones

1) Gastrin functions mostly to regulate acid secretion in the stomach.
2) Cholecystokinin play a key role in facilitating digestion in the small intestine.
3) Secretin is released in response to acid in the small intestine, and stimulates the pancreas and bile ducts to
release a bicarbonate base which neutralizes the acid.
4) Gastric Inhibitory Peptide- inhibits motility and secretion of acid and enhances the release of insulin in response to insulin.

Neuromuscular reflexes in GI Tract

Nerves throughout the digestive system are all involuntary and communicate with each other in response to
different stimuli. Example the flight or fight response, gage reflex, defecation after meals.



Tuesday questions:
Cindee Evenson
1. CCK causes gallbladder contractions and pancreatic enzyme secretions. Secretin increases bicarbonate secretions from the duct cells lining the pancreas. Gastrin acts on the parietal cells of the stomach to increase HCl and intrinsic factor secretion. GIP acts to inhibit gastric molarity, strength of contraction, and the release of HCl from the parietal cells of the stomach.

2. The GI tract has its own nervous has its own nervous system. The vagus nerve acts to increase motility and glandular secretions throughout the GI tract. The sympathetic nervous system acts to inhibit GI motility and glandular secretions.

1. The four true hormones in the GI tract are gastrin, cholecystokinin, secretin, and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP).

Gastrin is produced by endocrine cells in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine. It stimulates acid secretion by parietal cells in the stomach, stimulates pepsinogen secretion by chief cells in stomach, stimulates pancreas, bile, gallbladder, intestine. Gastrin is released by protein, distension, via the vagus nerve and is inhibited by acid in the stomach.

Cholecystokinin is produced by endocrine cells in small intestine. Cholecystokinin stimulates pancreatic enzymes and bicarbonate secretion, stimulates gallbladder contraction and release of bile into small intestine, inhibits gastric emptying due to byproducts of fats or proteins in small intestine and also inhibits gastric acid secretion.

Secretin is produced by endocrine cells in the small intestine. It stimulates pancreatic secretion of bicarbonate and water, is released by acid in small intestine, inhibits gastric emptying and secretion of acid and increases biliary secretion of bicarbonate and water.

Gastric inhibitory peptide is produced by endocrine cells in the small intestine. It stimulates insulin release fron the b cells of pancreas, is released by mostly fat and partly carbohydrates in small intestine, and inhibit's the release of HCl from parietal cells of stomach.

2. Neuromuscular reflexes in the GI tract are stimulated by the vagus nerve. They are controlled by the movement of neurotransmitters like acetylcholine that stimulate GI contractions an d peristalsis. The reflexes can also be triggered by hormones mentioned above which can take longer but have longer lasting effects.

Week Two Summer 2010 Short Course: Food and Science: Anatomy and Physiology

1) gastrin- produced by endocrine cells in the stomach and upper small intestine. Stimulates acid and pepsinogen secretion in the stomach as well as the pancrease, bile, gallbladder, and intestine.
cholecystokinin- produced by endocrine cells in the small intestine. Stimulates pancreatic enzymes, bicarbonate secretion, gallbladder contraction, and the release of bile into the small intestine.
secretin- produced by endocrine cells in the small intestine. Stimulates pancreatic secretion of bicarbonate and water.
gastric inhibitory peptide- produced in the small intestine. Neutralizes stomach acid to protect the small intestine and induces insulin production

2) The neuromuscular reflexes in the GI tract are controlled by the movement of neurotransmitters like acetylcholine that stimulate GI contractions and peristalsis. The reflexes can also be triggered by hormones which take longer to create a reaction but have longer lasting effects.

Monday and Tuesday’s Blogging Questions

Monday-Osmotic diarrhea happens when there is too much water that gets into the bowels. This can happen when digestion is hurried and incomplete or because of diseases, in which the nutrients are left in the lumen to pull in water. Probiotics or good bacteria can counteract osmotic diarrhea. Good bacteria aids in digestion to overcome diarrhea.

Tuesday-
1) The true hormones of the GI tract are gastrin, cholecystokinin, secretin, and gastric inhibitory peptide.

Gastrin is produced by endocrine cells in stomach and upper part of small intestine. Gastrin stimulates acid secretion by parietal cells in stomach,
stimulates pepsinogen secretion by chief cells in stomach, stimulates pancreas, bile, gallbladder, intestine. Gastrin is released by protein, distension, via the vagus nerve
and is inhibited by acid in stomach.

Cholecystokinin is produced by endocrine cells in small intestine. Cholecystokinin stimulates pancreatic enzymes and bicarbonate secretion, stimulates gallbladder contraction and release of bile into small intestine, inhibits gastric emptying due to byproducts of fats or proteins in small intestine and also inhibits gastric acid secretion.

Secretin is produced by endocrine cells in the small intestine. Secretin stimulates pancreatic secretion of bicarbonate and water, is released by acid in small intestine,
inhibits gastric emptying and secretion of acid and increases biliary secretion of bicarbonate and water.

Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) is produced by endocrine cells in the small intestine. GIP
stimulates insulin release from the b cells of pancreas, is released by mostly fat and partly carbohydrates in small intestine, and inhibit’s the release of HCl from parietal cells of stomach.

2) The neuromuscular reflexes in the GI tract are stimulated by the vagus nerve. Several factors control GI function including the true hormones mentioned above, peptides and extrinsic nerves to the GI tract and intrinsic nerves in the GI tract. The extrinsic nerves to the GI tract are part of the autonomic nervous system, which include the parasympathetic nervous system and sympathetic nervous system. The intrinsic nerves in the GI tract are part of the enteric nervous system, which include the myenteric plexus and the sub mucosal plexus. Most of the GI tract walls are made up of smooth muscle.

Neuromuscular Reflexes in GI Tract

Neuromuscular Reflexes relates to nerve and muscle interaction in the GI Tract. Gastroileal reflex promotes mass movements of the colon. Defecation reflex is stimulated by stretching of the rectum. Emotions can influence colonic motility. Pain, fear, depression can produce constipation. Anger, anxiety, hostility can cause diarrhea. The vomiting reflex is cordinated in the brainstem and stimulated by excessive stretching of the stomach, seasickness, tickling in back of throat, and noxious or toxic chemicals.

Tues Anatomoy ?'s

Tuesday Ju 13 Homework
1. Describe the 4 “true” hormones in the GI tract and what they do.
The four "true" hormones are gastrin, secretin, CCK, and GIP. Gastrin is secreted by cells in the stomach and it stimulates the parietal cells in the stomach to secrete HCL and intrinsic factor. Secretin is known as "nature's antacid". Secretin stimulates the pancreas to secrete carbonate ions so that the acidic stomach juices will be neutralized and not damage the small intestine. CCK is released from cells in the duodenum. CCK causes the gall bladder to release bile and the pancreas to release digestive enzymes. It also causes relaxation to the sphincter of Oddi so the pancreatic enzymes and bile can get to the duodenum more easily. GIP is released from cells in the duodenum. It increases motor activity and secretory activity of the stomach, but its primary job is to stimulate the pancreas to release insulin from the beta cells.
2. Describe the neuromuscular reflexes in the GI tract (how various organs communicate with each other).
The enterogastric reflex is stimulated when pH levels in the duodenum reach 3-4 or the stomach pH reaches 1.5. It inhibits the release of gastrin. This reduces gastric motility and secretion of HCl. The gastrocolic reflex is stimulated when the stomach stretches during a meal. It can increase motility and is responsible for the urge to defecate. The colonoileal reflex prevents the ilial contents from being emptied into the colon.

4 True Hormones

The 4 True Hormones are Gastin, Secretin, GIP and CCK.
The Gastin hormone stimulates secretion of gastric acid by parietal cells in the stomach. Gastin is released by G cells in stomach and causes the Ph level of stomach to decrease resulting in more acid.
Secretin is the hormone produced by duodenum. Secretin enters the bloodstream and induces pancreas to produce a juice that neutralizes the acidity contents of small intestine.
GIP stands for Gastric inhibitory polypeptide. This hormone causes decrease in HCL levels and Ph level in stomach becomes less acidic. GIP also induces insulin secretion.
CCK stand for cholecystokinin which is a hormone produced by the small intestine in response to the presence of fats. This causes the gall bladder to release bile and secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes.

neuromuscular reflexes in the GI tract.

Describe the neuromuscular reflexes in the GI tract (how various organs communicate with each other).
The GI tract has its own nervous system called the intrinsic nervous system and uses neurons(like the autonomic nervous system), to transmit information quickly from one area of the body to another, reaching distant organs to regulate function and maintain honeostasis.
The two types of feedback are positive and negative and the latter is much more common. Hormones are also used, for regulating organs, but their effects last much longer and don't repond as quickly as the neurotransmitters do, because the hormones travel through the bloodstream.

Movement in the GI tract is done by rhytmic segmentatin, peristalsis, and tonic contraction, (mixing, propulsion, contraction/relaxation, sphincter contractions), in order and sequence assisting the organ's function and purpose for the system.

4 True Hormones and their Function

The four true hormones are gastrin, secretin, cholecytoskinin(CCK), and GIP -gastric inhibitory peptide.
Gastrin is produced by endocrine cells in the stomach and upper part of the samll intestine and it stimulates acid secretion by parietal cells in the stomach, stimulates pepsinogen secretion, stimulates pancreas, bile, gallbladder, intestine, released by protein, distension, vagus nerve and is inhibited by acid in the stomach.
CCK is produced by endocrine cells in the small intestine; stimulates pancreatic enzymes and bicarbnonate secretion, stimulates gallbladder contraction and release of bile into small intestine,
inhibits gastric emptying due to byproducts of fats or proteins, inhibits gastric acid secretion.
Secretin is produced by endocrine cells in thesmall intestine; stimulates pancreatic secretion of bicarbonate and water, released by acid in small intestine, inhibits gastric emptying and secretion of acid and increases biliary secretion of bicarbonate and water.
GIP is released from K cells and is secreeted in response to fat, and to a lessor extent to carbohydrates in the duodenum. It decreases motor and secretory activity of the stomach, but mainly causes insulin release from beta cells of the pancreas.

One of the neural muscular reflexes present in the body is the gastrocolic reflex. It is responsible for the urge to defecate after a meal especially in infants. Another reflex, colonoileal reflex, seems to do the opposite, ie, it inhibits the urge to empty the colon.

True Hormones

The 4 true hormones are Gastrin, CCK, Secretin, and GPI.
Gastrin, stimulates acid secretion, pepsinogen secretion, the pancreas, bile, gallbladder, and the intestine.

CCK stimulates pancreatic enzymes and bicarbonate secreation, gallbladder contraction, and release of bile into small intestine, inhibits gastric emptying due to byproducts of fats or proteins in small intestine. It also inhibits gastric acid secreation.

Secretin stimulates pancreatic secreation of bicarbonate and water, released by acid in the small intestine, it inhibits gastrci emptying and secretion of acid, increases biliary secretion of bicarbonate and water.

Gastric Inhibitory Peptide induces insulin secretion it also plays a role in fatty acid metabolism.

B.
The neurotransmitters transmit information quickly from one area of the body to another. They send messages in the form of hormones in the bloodstream and those hormones then regulate the functions of the GI tract.

Osmotic Diarrhea

Osmotic diarrhea is caused by having too much water drawn into the bowels. It can occur from taking too many laxatives and by too much magnesium or vitamin C. The way to prevent this from happening is to change your diet so to avoid these items.
The 2 are mirror images of each other. One will absorb the other will not and will be just discarded by the body.

#1 Cholecystokinin (CCK) is produced by the endocrine cells in the small intestine. It causes the gallbladder contraction and pancreatic enzyme secretion resulting in an increase of fluid flow from the bile duct and and the main pancreatic duct.
#2 Secretin is produced by endocrine cells in the small intestine. It increases biocarbonate secretion from the duct sells lining the pancreas to neutralize the acid from the stomach. #3 Gastrin is produced by the endocrine cells in the stomch and upper parts of small intestine. It "turns on" the stomach by stimulating the partial cells of the stomach to increase HCl anad intrinsic factor secretion. #4 Gastric inhibitory peptide is produed in the small intestine. Inhibits gastric motility and secretion of HCl which helps neutralize the the stomach and protect the small intestine from acid. It also induces insulin secretion.

The four true hormones in the GI tract are:

1. Gastin - produced by endocrine cells in the stomach. It stimulates acid secretion, and is inhibited by acid in stomach.

2. Cholecystokinin (CCK) - produced by endocrine cells in small intestine. It stimulates pancreatic enzymes and bicarbonate secretion and stimulates gallbladder contraction and release of bile.

3. Secretin - produced by endocrine cells in small intestine. It stimulates pancreatic secretion of bicarbonate, inhibits gastric emptying and increases biliary secretion of bicarbonate.

4. Gastric Inhibitory Peptide (GIP) - produced by endocrine cells in small intestine. It inhibits gastric motality and secretion and stimulates secretion of insulin from pancreatic islets.


Defecation reflex is one type of reflex. If the rectum is distended by feces or an increase in pressure, the defecation reflex is initiated. The internal anal sphincter relaxes and the external anal sphincter constricts. If both are relaxed, defecation can occur.

Tuesday

The 4 hormones are gastrin, secretin, CCK, and GIP. Gastrin stimulates the perietal cells to secrete HCl in intrinsic factor. Secretin neutralized acid below the stomach by stimulating the pancreas to release carbonate ions. CCK is related fat digestion by stimulating gall bladder to release bile. GIP mainly causes insulin release from the pancreas.

One neuromuscular reflex is the gastrocolic reflex causes the urge to defecate following a meal. The enterogastric reflex shuts off the gastrin release based on the pH levels in the stomach and duodenum. The colonoileal reflex inhibits the urge to empty the colon.

1. Gastrin increases motility in the stomach and small intestine. It also increases the secretion of stomach acid. Secretin increases bicarbonate in the pancreatic duct making it more basic and increasing fluid produced. GIP basically slows or stops digestion because it decreases motility and production of HCl. It also stimulates the insulin release into the blood. Acetylcholine increases the secretion of saliva, as well as motility of the stomach and intestines.

2. Organs can respond to triggers or things going on with other organs. For example when someone eats a meal and it triggers defacation.

GI Tract Hormones

1.Gastrin is secreted by endocrine cells into the stomach. This happens as soon as food appears. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter for the parasympathetic nervous system, so it stimulates muscle contractions and excites nerves. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is used for digesting fats. It stimulates the release of enzymes from the pancreas and causes contractions of the gall bladder. Secretin neutralizes acid from the stomach by stimulating the pancreas & bile ducts to release a bicarbonate base.

2. The gastrocolic reflex helps the body move the meal through. It stimulates the colon to pass the previous meal and get ready for the next.

1. The four true hormones are gastrin which is secreted by the endocrine cells into the stomach and increases the gastric motility. This happens as soon as food appears. The second is acetylcholine which is a neurotransmitter for the parasympathetic nervous system so we are in the rest and relax mode. The third is secretin which neutralizes acid coming from the stomach with bicarbonate. The fourth is cholecystokinin which causes contraction of gallbladder for digesting of fat, releases of enzyme from the pancreas.

2. The gastrocolic reflex is one of a number of physiological reflexes controlling the motility or peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract. It involves an increase in motility of the colon in response to stretch in the stomach and by products of digestin in the small intestine. This reflex is responsible for the urge to defecate following a meal.

Monday
1. Basically the contents of of the colon absorbs a great deal of water then you would have osmotic diarrhea. For instance when someone increases fiber a great deal in their diet it takes some time to adjust. If it is added all at once one might notice bouts of diarrhea. Too much fat consumed and not absorbed would have this affect as well.

2. Gradually adding fiber to the diet and limiting excess fat can help to counteract this.

Osmotic Diarrhea

1. Osmotic Diarrhea occurs because of how the body is absorbing food. If it doesn't absorb the food, more water is released into it and it leaves the body in the form of a loose, liquidy bowel movement. If the body absorbs too much food, the water does not stay and the body becomes contipated.

2. In order to counteract the diarrhea, you need to understand where the problems occurred and try to rectify the situation. You may need to take an anti-diarrheal. The body gets dehydrated, with electrolyte imbalances, and will require a treatment which may include oral rehydration salts and zinc tablets.

It has to do with where groups are bonded on to the chain and how they are able to interact with other substances. For instance if there is a double bond holding groups in place, they cannot flip in order to interact with a substance.

Biochemistry

The biochemistry is different between the two because they are chiral. They are mirror images of each other, causing the left-handedness or right-handedness. This means that some things will be absorbed and some won't due to the location of the functional group. Some things will be useful to your body because of the interactivity that is possible and the others will be discarded.

Osmmotic Diarrhea: Food and Science

1. For water to be absorbed in the intestines there needs to be adequate absorption of solutes. If too great of an amount of solutes are in the intestinal lumens, water won't be absobed and diahrrea will result.

2. The person with diarrhea can stop eating and therefore the poorly absorbed solute will not be consumed. They can let it "run its course" or drink fluids to replace lost fluids.
Osmotic diarrhea occurs when too much water moves into the intestine, caused by something drawing water in, gum, certain foods, or medication. Determine what is causing the problem and adjust.


Gastrin - increases acids in the stomach
GIP- decreases pH in the stomach
Secretin - increases bicarbonate and water for acids
Cholecystokinin - increases prancreatic digestive enzymes for fat

Neuromuscular reflexes are controlled by the nervous system, hormones, and other chemicals. Peristaltic motion keeps the food moving, introduction of food into particular areas stimulates more movement. Ex. salivary glands with the introduction of food, increased volume in the stomach, chemical composition of the food in the sm. intestine. Communication is through the nervous system.

Week Two Summer 2010 Short Course: Food and Science: Anatomy and Physiology

1) Osmotic diarrhea occurs when water rushes into the lumen of the intestines. The water will rush in when there are excessive amounts of solutes in the lumen causing an increased osmotic gradient.
2) In order to stop osmotic diarrhea a person needs to figure out where the excess of solutes is comming from and modify their diet/activity

Biochemistry of Food - chiral

The body wants to be accepting but not too eagerly. As the correct form is available the body will accept it disregarding the other form, to be "streamlined efficient, but not binding with just any form available". Similar to universal gloves that fit either hand but are not as comfortable or as aaccomodating as a L or R handed glove.

Week Two Summer 2010 Short Course: Food and Science: Biochemistry of Food

I think the body would take one hand but disregard the other because if you change the handedness you change which end of the molecule can bond and therefore the way the molecules line up and interact will change.

Osmotic diarrhea occurs when too much water is drawn into the bowels.

Too much magnesium or vitamin C or undigest lactose can produce osmotic diarrhea and distention of the bowel.

To counteract this diarrhea, find what foods are causing it and remove it from your diet.

Week Two Summer 2010 Short Course: Food and Science: Biochemistry of Food: "Dr. Koppang's Monday night HW Question: The physical properties and chemical properties of two chemical enantiomers are identical (left hand..."

Enantiomers are chiral compounds. They are mirror images of each other but cannot be superimposed. The body only recognizes one form and does not use the other form.

Osmotic Diarrhea

Osmotic Diarrhea is the result of excess water in the small intestine caused by one of two things. Ingestation of a poorly absorbed substance, or the inability to absorb certain carbohydrates.

Osmotic diarrhea stops after the patient is fasting or stops consuming the pporly absorbed solute.

#1 - As has already been mentioned, osmotic diarrhea occurs when water follows solutes that have been left in the intestinal lumen. Excessive amounts of Vitamin C, sorbitol and Mg salts are among some of the chemicals which result in solutes being left in the lumen.

Population Biology

The population biology website was very interesting. It had many education, useful links on the page. I found it interesting that the more health care is provided, the fewer children were born. I hadn't thought about it that way. I also was very interested to see that the areas with the higher income, the lower the birth rates. (I thought that made total sense--I would have a lot more money if I hadn't had 4 DAUGHTERS...and I haven't even gotten to the weddings yet!)

I thought the highlights link was a good summary of the article.

I found the exercise for the international population module very interesting. I likes comparing the populations. I think kids would find that fun and fascinating.


I also liked both the random sampling worksheet and interpreting ecological data were good worksheets. It is always good to have kids read graphs--it seems to be something they struggle with. The estimating worksheet is also a good application for the students.

In the extras, I enjoyed the crossword puzzle and the wordsearch--they are always good to get the brain thinking in a different way.

#1. Osmotic diarrhea occurs when ingested food draws fluid into the intestinal lumen. Chemical materials can be many things, to name a few lactose, glucose, or drugs that you take.
#2. Two counteract you can figure out what has caused it. Whether it is lactose intolerance or another food intolerance, disease, or medication. Now you can treat the reason for the osmotic diarrhea.

Biochemistry

The enantiomers are chiral chemicals. They are not identical, and the body can recognize the different forms of chemicals.

Week Two Summer 2010 Short Course: Food and Science: Biochemistry of Food: "Dr. Koppang's Monday night HW Question: The physical properties and chemical properties of two chemical enantiomers are identical (left hand..."
Enantiomers are chiral compounds, therefore they are different. The body knows the right hand from the left hand, therefore recognizes which to use and which to discard.
Osmotic diarrhea occurs the absorption of water by the intestine is diminished. Chemicals such as magnesium sulfate, lactose, or glucose may cause this as can some pancreatic diseases.
Osmotic diarrhea may be treated by avoiding trigger foods. Peristalsis may also be slowed to allow more time for the bowels to absorb water from the waste products.

Osmotic Diarrhea

#1 Question: Osmotic Diarrhea occurs when substances that when ingested draws fluids into intestinal lumen and don't get fully aborbed into the small intestine. Chemical materials can be lactose, glucose, high fructose and some ingested chemicals or drugs like magnesium sulfate (laxative) and sodium sulfate to name a few.
#2 Question: To counteract osmotic diarrhea you need to see what underlying condition is causing the diarrhea like Lactose Intolerance, Chronic pancreatitis or obstructed bile duct to name a few. You need to treat the underlying agent or disease.

Miles Monday ?

The biochemistry of the enantiomers are different because they are chiral compounds and lack a plane of symmetry and are non-superimposable images. Amino Acids and carbohydrates are both chiral compounds. The body recognizes the right hand and discards the left hand form.

Physiology Monday questions

Monday July 12 Homework
1. Explain how osmotic diarrhea occurs and why. What kinds of chemicals set up the osmotic gradient (more solute in the lumen where the food is in the small intestine)? Osmotic diarrhea occurs when too many solutes are left in the intestinal lumen. Because water "follows" the solutes, water is drawn into the lumen creating diarrhea. Some of the chemicals involved may be an excessive amount of Mg salts, Vitamin C, manitol, or sorbitol. Osmotic diarrhea may also occur in the case of malabsorption when certain types of carbohydrates (e.g. lactose) are not able to be absorbed.


2. How can you counteract osmotic diarrhea?
Osmotic diarrhea can be counteracted by removing the offending substrate from the diet. In the case of lactose, supplemental lactase may help with the symptoms.

Monday biochemistry question

Because a protein's shape is related to its structure, enantiomers do not act in the same way in biological systems. Most of the time, only one enantiomer is active in the body.

The two enantiomers are identical but exhibit the chiral effect - they cannot be superimposed on top of each other. The body can detect this and, at times, will accept the right hand enantiomer and discard the left hand enantiomer.
