Stimulates D-cell release of somatostatin

45
Q

Plasma levels of gastrin are typically (higher/lower/same) during cephalic phase when there’s no food in stomach, compared to when food is ingested.

A

Lower (no food means luminal pH low, so somatostatin secreted to inhibit gastrin secretion)

46
Q

Gastrin and ACh mediate their effects on parietal cells via which mechanism?

A

Signaling cascade that raises intracell Ca

47
Q

His mediates its effect on parietal cells via which mechanism?
