| What may cause a physical intestinal obstruction? | Foreign body enteroliths trichobezoars Ascarids constipation- fecal impaction |

| What can happen with an intestinal obstruction which is particularly catastrophic? | compression of the blood supply |
| The higher the obstruction the more _______ | acute, severe and rapid the course of events |
| Describe what occurs in acute upper intestinal obstruction | -fluid is unable to be absorbed -distention of intestine leads reflexively to further increased secretion of fluid -increase in peristalsis prox and dis to point of obstruction- pain -reverses peristalsis occurs obve obstruction causing intense vomiting -loose fluid and electrolytes through vomiting |
