NSG3100 Exam 3
haustral churning - ANS-Moves digestive contents around within each haustra
Peristalsis - ANS-Propels intestinal contents toward the rectum and anus
Mass peristalsis - ANS-Powerful contraction along a lengthy segment of bowel facilitated by the
gastronomic reflex
internal sphincter muscle - ANS-made up of smooth muscle, involuntary
external sphincter muscle - ANS-Skeletal muscle, voluntary
Bile salts - ANS-Aid in digestion of fat
Feces is brown due to bile salts
Flatus - ANS-Gas formed during digestion by bacterial fermentation
Valsva maneuver - ANS-Increase the pressure to expel feces by contracting the abdominal
muscles (straining) while maintaining a closed airway (holding breath)
Meconium - ANS-greenish-black first stool of a newborn
Breastfed babies stool - ANS-loose, pale, yellow
Formula fed babies stool - ANS-Tan
Effect of calcium on digestive system - ANS-May cause constipation
Effects of magnesium on digestive system - ANS-Loose a stool
Effects of Vitamin C on digestive system - ANS-Softens stool and in high doses may cause
diarrhea
Effects of pregnancy of digestive system - ANS-Constipation, decreased appetite, and irregular
food intake
Diverticulosis - ANS-Increase force on the mucosal tissue causing them to "balloon" out
between the muscles and form sac like pouches this condition is when they become infected
White or clay colored stool - ANS-Indicates absence of bile or use of some anti acids
, Light brown stool - ANS-Diet high in milk products and low in meat
Pale/fatty stool - ANS-Malabsorption of fat
black tarry-melena stool - ANS-Use of iron medication or upper GI bleeding, eating large
quantities of red meat, spinach, and dark green vegetables
Red stool - ANS-Bleeding in lower intestinal tract or hemorrhoids
Narrow stool - ANS-May indicated intestinal obstruction or construction or rapid peristalsis
Small, marble stool - ANS-May indicated slow peristalsis
Bowel diversion - ANS-Surgically created opening for elimination of digestive waste products
Effluent - ANS-Output, fecal material
Ileostomy - ANS-the surgical creation of an artificial excretory opening between the ileum, at
the end of the small intestine, and the outside of the abdominal wall
Kock pouch - ANS-Creates an internal pouch to collect ideal drainage to drain the pouch the
patient inserts a tube through the external stoma
Total colostomy with ileonal reservoir - ANS-Colon is removed a pouch is created from the
ileum and the ileum is connected to the rectum the patient evacuates in the usual manner
Colostomy - ANS-the surgical creation of an artificial excretory opening between the colon and
the body surface
Double barreled colostomy - ANS-Two separate aromas that externalize the bowel on both
sides of the portion that has been removed
Loop colostomy - ANS-Consists of a segment of a bowel brought out to the abdominal wall
Fecal occult blood/ Guaiac - ANS-Requires use of a reagent that detects the presence of
peroxidase an enzyme present in hemoglobin
Screening can detect colorectal polyps
Diarrhea - ANS-Passage of loose, informed or watery stools
Causes- contaminated food, viral infection, dietary change
Complications- fluid and electrolyte imbalance (especially K)
