LARGE INTESTINE Large Intestine consist of cecum,
appendix, colon [ascending colon, transverse colon and descending colon, end part of descending colon forms sigmoid colon] and rectum.
Large Intestine does the function of water and electrolyte absorption and works as storage organ [primary function of large intestine is to store feces].

LARGE INTESTINE The colon normally receives 500ml of
Chyme from the Small Intestine each day.
The contents coming to the colon consist of
- Indigestible food residues e.g. cellulose, Unabsorbed Biliary components ,Fluid.
Colon absorbs water and salt, what remains behind is to be eliminated is know as feces.

LARGE INTESTINE We will discuss 1. Motility 2. Secretion 3. Digestion 4. Absorption
MOTILITY IN LARGE INTESTINE Haustral Contraction or Segmentation Peristaltic wave Mass movement [strong peristaltic waves]
![Page 6: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

MOTILITY IN LARGE INTESTINE Haustral Contraction [Segmentation
Contraction]
They help to mix the contents of colon and expose contents to mucosa to facilitate absorption.
They occur less frequently may be after every 30mins [they are like segmentation contraction in small intestine but in small intestine they occur 10-12/min].
Haustral contraction are largely controlled by locally mediated reflexes involving the intrinsic plexus.
![Page 7: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

MOTILITY IN LARGE INTESTINE Peristaltic wave They propel the contents towards the rectum.
Mass movement [strong peristaltic waves] They move the material from one portion of intestine
to another. They occur 3-4 times per day, generally after meals
and increase in motility moves the feces forward in few seconds.
When material reaches the rectum, rectal distention initiates the defecation reflex.
![Page 8: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
MOTILITY IN LARGE INTESTINE Mass movement [strong peristaltic
waves] Gastro-colic Reflex – when food enters
the stomach, mass movements are triggered in the colon by gastro-colic reflex also.
It is mediated from stomach to the colon by gastrin and extrinsic autonomic nerves.
It pushes the colonic contents into rectum triggering the defecation reflex.
![Page 9: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

LARGE INTESTINE SECRETION Large intestine secretes alkaline
NaHCO3, mucus solution. Its function is to protect large intestine
from mechanical and chemical injury. Mucus provides lubrication to facilitate
the passage of feces.
![Page 10: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
LARGE INTESTINE DIGESTION There are no digestive enzymes
secreted, therefore, no digestion takes place in large intestine.
![Page 11: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
LARGE INTESTINE ABSORPTION Na+ is actively transported and water
follows along the osmotic gradient. Secretion of K+ and HCO3. Due to absorptive capacity, some drugs
are given per rectum especially in children e.g. anesthetics, steroids.
There are no villi in Large Intestine.
![Page 12: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

FECES About 500ml of material entering the
colon per day from the small intestine, colon absorbs about 350ml, leaving 150g of feces to be eliminated per day.
Feces contains 100g of water and 50g of solid [undigested cellulose, bilirubin [stercobilinogen], bacteria, unabsorbed food residue.
![Page 13: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

LARGE INTESTINE BACTERIA They are commensals, which have no
effect on host [they are not pathogen which cause disease].
Bacteria present are E.coli, bacteroides – fragilis.
Some bacteria synthesize vitamin K, vitamin B-complex, folic acid.
![Page 15: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
DEFECATION REFLEX Feces are eliminated by defecation reflex. How this reflex works? When mass movements of colon move the
feces into the rectum. Distention of rectum initiates the reflex.
Stretch receptors in the wall of rectum send impulses to the spinal cord ( S2,S3,S4), parasympathetic nerves causes contraction of smooth muscle of rectum and sigmoid colon and relaxation of internal sphincter.
![Page 16: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
DEFECATION REFLEX If external anal sphincter [which is
skeletal muscle is also relaxed defecation occurs].
External anal sphincter is under voluntary control, therefore, can prevent defecation despite defecation reflex.
![Page 17: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
DEFECATION REFLEX When defecation occurs, it is assisted
by voluntary straining movements that involve contraction of abdominal muscles and forceful expiration against closed glottis which increases intra-abdominal pressure.
![Page 18: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
CONSTIPATION When more water is absorbed from the feces,
they become hard and dry. Normally frequency of passing stool vary. It
maybe once a day, or after every meal or once every 2 or 3 days.
CAUSES OF CONSTIPATION Decreased colonic motility due to low bulk diet,
aging, emotion, anxiety. Colonic spasm, tumor in colon. Injury to nerve pathway.
![Page 19: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

INTESTINAL GAS OR FLATUS It is derived from two sources 1. Swallowed air [up to 500ml of air may be
swallowed during a meal]. 2. Gas produced by bacterial fermentation in
the colon. Most gas in the colon is due to result of bacterial activity, but the quantity and the nature of gas produced depend on the type of food eaten and colonic bacteria.
![Page 20: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
INTESTINAL GAS OR FLATUS Food such as beans, contain
carbohydrate that human can not digest but can be attacked by gas producing bacteria.
Gases produced are Hydrogen, Hydrogen Sulphide, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide and Methane.
![Page 21: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
INTESTINAL GAS OR FLATUS Amount of gas per day passed is about
200ml. The smell is largely due to sulphides. Gas passing through the luminal
contents give rise to gurgling sounds known as BORBORGYMI.
![Page 22: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

2. OVERVIEW OF GASTRO-INTESTINAL HORMONES
We will discuss the following hormones: Gastrin Secretin CCK Motilin Somatostatin GIP VIP
![Page 23: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

![Page 24: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
GASTRIN Produced by G-cells in the stomach. Stimulates the release of HCL and
Pepsinogen in the stomach. Increases gastric motility. Increases ileal motility . Relaxes Ileocecal Sphincter. Induces mass movements in colon [because
to help the contents moving through GIT on arrival of new meal in the stomach].
![Page 25: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
SECRETIN Secretin is released from small intestine when
stomach acid contents come to duodenum. Functions It inhibits gastric emptying to delay the acid
contents of stomach to enter in the duodenum. It inhibits gastric secretion. It acts on pancreatic duct to produce large
volume of watery, NaHCO3 secretion. It stimulates the secretion of NaHCO3 rich bile in
the liver by acting on the bile ducts.
![Page 26: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
CCK [CHOLECYSTOKININ] CCK is released from the duodenum in
response mainly to fat, to a lesser extent to protein products.
CCK causes (i). Inhibition of Gastric motility and secretion(ii). Stimulates pancreatic Acinar cells to secrete
pancreatic enzymes [amylase, lipase, Trypsinogen, Chymotrypsinogen].
(iii). It causes contraction of gall-bladder and relaxation of sphincter of Oddi.
![Page 27: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
MOTILIN It is polypeptide and secreted by
entrochromaffin cells and Mo cells in the stomach, small intestine and colon.
It causes contraction of smooth muscles in the stomach and intestine.
Its level increases during inter-digestive state and controls GIT motility, Migrating motility complex (MMC) between the meals.
![Page 28: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
SOMATOSTATIN It is secreted by D-Cells in pancreatic
islets and by similar D-cells in GIT mucosa.
Somatostatin inhibits secretion of Gastrin, VIP, GIP, Secretin and Motilin.
Somatostatin secretion is stimulated by acid in the lumen of intestine.
It acts probably in a paracrine fashion.
![Page 29: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

GIP [GLUCOSE DEPENDENT INSULINOTORPHIC PEPTIDE]
GIP is released from the duodenum. GIP causes release of insulin. Insulin causes uptake and storage of
glucose. GIP – before it was called Gastric
Inhibitory Peptide [this role is minimum].
![Page 30: 1. LARGE INTESTINE 2. GIT HORMONES](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56815f48550346895dce2604/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
VIP [VASOACTIVE INTESTINAL PEPTIDE]
VIP is found in nerves in the GIT. It stimulates intestinal secretion of electrolytes
and water. Other action – relaxation of intestinal smooth
muscle including sphincters. Inhibition of gastric acid secretion. It potentiates the action of acetylcholine in
salivary glands. VIP is also found in brain, blood, autonomic
nerves.
