GASTROINTESTINAL

MOTILITY

Rifai Amirudin

GASTROINTESTINAL
MOTILITY DEFINITION
MOVEMENT OF THE DIGESTIVE
SYSTEM, AND THE TRANSIT OF
THE CONTENTS WITHIN IT
MOTILITY IS THE MUSCULAR
ACTIVITY OF THE
GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT. IS AN
ORDERLY SEQUENCE OF
MUSCULAR CONTRACTION FROM

GASTROINTESTINAL
MOTILITY
IF DIGESTIVE TRACT (NERVES OR
MUSCLES) DONT FUNCTION IN
COORDINATED
FASHION,
A
PERSON DEVELOPS SYMPTOMS
RELATED TO MOTILITY PROBLEM.

GASTROINTESTINAL
MOTILITY PATHOGENESIS
AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
THE EVOLVING THEORY SUGGESTS
CHRONIC G.I SYMTOMS ARE
GENERATED BY A COMBINATION OF :
* INTESTINAL MOTOR
* SENSORY
* CNS ACTIVITY
IT IS MEAN BI-DIRECTIONAL
PATHWAYS BETWEEN
-THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS
-THE ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEMS
SO CALLED BRAIN-GUT AXIS

GASTROINTESTINAL MOTILITY
PATHOGENESIS AND
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
BI-DIRECTIONAL PATHWAYS PROVIDES THE
LINKAGE BETWEEN :
- SENSATION IN THE GUT
- INTESTINAL MOTOR FUNCTION
ENTERNAL STRESSORS
COGNITIVE INFORMATION
HAVE BY NATURE OF THEIR NEURAL
CONNECTIONS IN THE BRAIN, THE
CAPABILITY TO AFFECT G.I MOTILITY.
THERE ARE THREE FEATURES TO G.I
DISORDERS :

Pathogenesis &
Pathophysiology of Motility
Behavioural factors
External Stressors
Cognitive Information
Emotion

Increased

Mechanisms Underlying
Increased Sensory Perception

LOWER GASTROINTESTINAL
MOTILITY
PROPULSIVE MOTILITY IN THE SMALL
INTESTINE IS ORGANIZED FROM A BASIC
STEREOTYPED SEQUENCE OF
CONTRACTION AND RELAXATION OF
LONGITUDINAL AND CIRCULAR MUSCLES
COATS

Mechanisms Underlying Altered

Factors

Local Factors:
Gastritis
