2 Secretions of the GI Tract and Pancreas Flashcards
The parotid gland contains what types of cells
Serous
What are the main cell types of the submandibular and sublingual glands
Mixed mucous and serous
What are the cells which produce the initial saliva
Acinar
What cells modify the saliva to make it hypotonic
Striated duct (columnar epithelial)
What type of cells contract to eject saliva
Contractile (myoepithelial) cells
What is in saliva
- water
- electrolytes
- α amylase
- lingual lipase
- kallikrein
- mucus
What is kallikrein
Precursor to bradykinin which causes vasodilation
How does saliva compare to plasma
Saliva has more K and HCO3
Saliva has less Na and Cl
What is the overall effect of saliva on ions
Absorption of Na and Cl
Secretion of K and HCO3
What does parasympathetic do at salivary glands
Originates in facial and glossopharyngeal nn and they use mAChR
Where do the sympathetic controls originate
T1-3 and superior cervical region and they wrap around arteries
What do parasympathetic do for salivary glands? Sympathetic?
Both increase secretions
What factors increase saliva
- conditioning
- food
- nausea
- smell
What decreases saliva
- dehydration
- fear
- sleep
- fatigue
What is downstream of the parasympathetic muscarinic receptor in the salivary glands
IP3 and Ca
What is down stream of the sympathetic β receptor on the salivary gland
cAMP
What do parietal cells produce
HCl and IF
Where are parietal cells mainly found
Body of stomach
What do chief cells produce
Pepsinogen
Where are chief cells mainly found
Body of stomach
What do G cells produce
Gastrin
Where are G cells mainly found
Antrum of stomach
Where are mucous cells mainly found
Antrum
Glands of the stomach are divided into what categories
Oxyntic and pyloric
What are the characteristics of oxyntic gland
- located in proximal stomach (body and fundus)
- parietal cells that secrete acid
- D cells, mucous cells, ECF cells, chief cells
What are the characteristics of pyloric glands
- located in distal 20% of stomach
- G cells that secrete and synthesize gastrin
- D cells, mucous cells, ECF cells
What do D cells produce
somatostatin
When the stomach is removed you are at risk for vitamin deficiencies in what vitamins
Fat soluble vitamins
What do parietal cells do
Secrete HCl
Where is HCl formed in parietal cells
Canaliculi
What is the alkaline tide? What cells are responsible
Uptake of HCO3 and secretion of HCl; parietal cells
What does the parasympathetic do to G cells
Stimulates gastrin release through GRP directly and inhibits release of somatostatin
Increased secretion of gastrin increases secretion of what
Somatostatin
What stimulates somatostatin
H in gastric lumen
What cells secrete somatostatin
D cells
Pepsinogen are secreted by what cells
Chief cells
