Hepatoportal
circulation
-
ANS
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
-
ANS
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

ANS
Results
in
large
volume
losses
secondary
to

Motility
diarrhea
-
ANS
AKA
short
bowel
syndrome.
Results
from
resection
of

or
surgical
bypass
of

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.

suggest
what
kind
of
bleed
