Histamine is a substance present in various tissues of die body, such as die heart, lungs, gastric mucosa, and skin (Pig. 36-1). The highest concentration of histamine is found in die basophil (a type of white blood cell) and mast cells diat are found near capillaries. Histamine is produced in response to injury. It acts on areas such as die vascular system and smooth muscle, producing dilatation of arterioles and an increased permeability of capillaries and venules. Dilatation of die arterioles results in localized redness. An increase in die permeability of... [Pg.325]

Peppermint oil is widely advocated it acts as an antispas-modic agent due to its ability to relax gastrointestinal smooth muscle. However, it also relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter, which could allow reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus. The usual dose is 1 to 2 enteric-coated capsules containing 0.2 mL of peppermint oil two to three times daily. [Pg.318]

Gastrointestinal sphincters are formed where the circular layer of smooth muscle is thickened. Sphincters occur at several points along the tract. Their function is to limit the movement of food materials from one region to another. For example, the pyloric sphincter found between the stomach and duodenum of the small intestine plays an important role in limiting the rate of gastric emptying. Sphincters undergo tonic contractions that may be sustained for minutes or hours. [Pg.282]

Gastric motility. In addition to the circular and longitudinal layers of smooth muscle, the stomach contains an extra layer of smooth muscle. Beginning at the UES, the oblique layer of smooth muscle fans out across the anterior and posterior surfaces of the stomach and fuses with the circular layer in the lower region. This extra layer of muscle enhances gastric motility and therefore mixing and mashing of food. [Pg.289]

Mebeverine is an antispasmodic that reduces gastric and intestinal motility by direct relaxation of the intestinal smooth muscle. It can be used to relieve pain in irritable bowel syndrome and diverticular disease. Like all antispasmodics, mebeverine is contraindicated in paralytic ileus. [Pg.328]

Histamine, an important mediator (local signaling substance) and neurotransmitter, is mainly stored in tissue mast cells and basophilic granulocytes in the blood. It is involved in inflammatory and allergic reactions. Histamine liberators such as tissue hormones, type E immunoglobulins (see p. 300), and drugs can release it. Histamine acts via various types of receptor. Binding to Hi receptors promotes contraction of smooth muscle in the bronchia, and dilates the capillary vessels and increases their permeability. Via H2 receptors, histamine slows down the heart rate and promotes the formation of HCl in the gastric mucosa. In the brain, histamine acts as a neurotransmitter. [Pg.380]
