FOCALSYSTEMIC ASSESSMENT
INTRODUCTION:
The major events of digestion and absorption occur in long tubes called the small
intestine, because most digestion and absorption of nutritient occur in the small intestine.
Its structure is specially adapted for these functions. It length along provides a larger
surface area for digestion and absorption and that area is further increased by circular
folds, villi, and microvilli
DEFINITION:-
“Intestinal obstruction is the partial or complete blockage of the intestines at one or more
locations. Obstructions prevent liquids and solids from passing through the digestive tract.
There are a variety of causes”.
- Dorothy R Marlow
1. DUODENUM
It is the shortest region, is retroperitoneal. It starts at the pyloric sphincter of the
stomach and extends about 25 cm (10 inch) until it merges with the jejunum. It curves
around the head of pancreas. Secretion from the gall bladder and pancreas are released
into the duodenum through a common structure, the hepatopancreatic ampulla and the
hepato pancreatic sphincter guards opening.
2. JEJUNUM
It is the middle regions of the small intestine and is about 2 metres longs.
3. ILEUM
It is final and longest region of the small intestine about 3 meters long and ends at
the ileocaecal valve, which controls the flow of material from the ileum to the caecum.
STRUCTURE:
The wall of the small intestine are composed of the four layers of tissue.
1. Peritoneum
It consists of the loose fibrous tissue and covered by a serous membrane. A double
layer as peritoneum called the mesentery attaches the jejunum and ileum to the posterior
abdominal wall. The large blood vessels and nerves lies on the posterior abdominal wall
and the branches to the small intestine pass between the two layers of the mesentery.
2. Muscular layer
With some exceptions, this consists of two layers of smooth (Involuntary) muscle.
The muscle fibres of the outer layer are arranged longitudinally between these two muscle
layers are blood vessels, lymph vessels and a plexus of sympathetic or parasympathetic
nerves called the myenteric. Contraction of smooth muscle is called peristalsis and it helps
in mix the food with digestive juices. Onwards movement controlled at various point by
sphincters consisting of circular muscle fibre which allow time for digestion.
3. SUBMUCOSA
This layer consists of loose connective tissue with some elastic fiber. Within this
layer or plexuses’ of blood vessels, nerves, lymph vessels and varying amount of lymphoid
tissues. The blood vessels consist of arterioles, venules and capillary. The nerve plexus is
the sub mucosal or Meissen’s plexus, consisting of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve,
which supply the mucosal lining.
4. MUCOSA
It consist of three layers
a). Mucus membrane:
It is formed by columnar epithelial cell
b). lamina propria:
It consisting of loose connective tissue
c). muscularis mucosa:
It is thin outer layer of smooth muscle.
The surface are of the small intestine mucosa is greatly increased by permanent circular
folds, villi and microvilli.
The mucosa forms a series of finger like villi projection that are 0.5 – 1 mm long. The
larger number of villi (20 -40 per square mm) vastly increase the surface area of
epithelium for digestion and absorption and gives the intestinal mucosa a velvety
appearance. Each villus has a core of lamina propria (Areolar connective tissue). Their wall
consist of columnar epithelial cell or enterocytes, with tiny microvilli (1 m long)
The columnar epithelium that contains absorptive cells, goblets cells entero
endocrine cells.
Goblet cells that secrete mucus are interspread between the enterocytes. These epithelial
cells enclose a network of blood or lymph capillary. Lymph capillaries called lacteals
because absorbed fat gives the lymph milky appearance. There are an estimated 200
million microvilli per square mm of small intestine.
The mucosa contains the intestinal glands (crypts of lieberkuhn) and secretes
intestinal juice. Paneth cells, found in the deepest parts of the intestinal glands, secrete
lysozyme, a bactericidal enzyme and are capable of phagocytosis. These are three type of
entero endocrine cells, also in deepest part of the intestinal glands, secrete hormones:
secretin (by S cells), cholecystokinin (by CCK cells), and glucose dependent insulinotrophic
peptide (by K cells)
Numerous lymph nodes are found in the mucosa at irregular intervals throughout the
length of the small intestine. The smaller ones are known as solitary lymphatic follicles,
and about 20–30 larger nodes situated towards the distal end of ileum are called
aggregated lymphatic follicles (peyer’s patches). These lymphatic cells packed with
defensive cells.
BLOOD SUPPLY:
The superior mesenteric artery supply the blood to whole intestine, and venous
drainage is by the superior mesenteric vein which joints other veins to form the portal vein.
NERVE SUPPLY:
INTESTINAL JUICE:
It is a clear yellow color fluid secreted in amounts of 1 – 2 liters a day. It contains –
Water
Mucus
Mineral salts
Enzyme: enterokinase (entropeptidases).
The PH of intestinal juice is usually between 7.6– 8.0.
begins in the stomach. Altogether, chyme remains in the small intestine for 3 – 5 hours.
