Upper GI organs mouth,pharynx, esophagus, stomach, and
duodenum
Lower GI organs small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus
Hepatoportal circulation hepatic artery receives oxygenated blood from the
inferior mesenteric, gastric, and cystic veins. The
hepatic portal vein receives deoxygenated blood
from the inferior and superior mesenteric vein and
splenic vein and delivers nutrients that have been
absorbed from the intestinal system

Osmotic diarrhea Caused by the presence of a nonabsorbable
substance in the intestines. This pulls water by
osmosis into the intestinal lumen and results in
large volume diarrhea. This is how mag citrate,
lactulose and miralax work. Causes include:
excessive ingestion of nonabsorbable sugars, tube
feedings, dumping syndrome, malabsorption,
pancreatic enzyme deficiency, bile salt deficiency,
small intestine bacterial overgrowth or celiac
disease
Secretory diarrhea Results in large volume losses secondary to
infectious causes such as rotavirus, bacterial
enterotoxins, or c-diff.
Motility diarrhea AKA short bowel syndrome. Results from resection
of small intestine or surgical bypass of small
intestine, IBS, diabetic neuropathy,
hyperthyroidism, and laxative abuse. Fatty stools
and bloating are common in malabsorption
syndrome. Complications include: dehydration,
electrolyte imbalance, metabolic acidosis, weight
loss and malabsorption.
Upper GI bleed bleeding that occurs in the esophagus, stomach or
duodenum commonly caused by bleeding varices,
peptic ulcers or Mallory-Weiss tear(tearing of
esophagus from stomach) Characterized by frank,
bright red or coffee ground emesis.
Lower GI bleed Bleeding in the jejunum, ileum, colon or rectum
from inflammatory bowel disease, cancer,
diverticula or hemorrhoids. Hematochezia, or the
presence of bright red blood in the stools, suggest
what kind of bleed
