Q

What is the gastric phase of gastric secretion

A
  • 60% of total HCl

- stimulated by stomach distention and AA

48
Q

Distention of fundus and body of stomach activates what

A

Mechanoreceptors in mucosa of oxyntic and pyloric activate direct and indirect vagus stimulation

49
Q

What does distention of the antrum do

A

Local (pyloropyloric) reflex stimulates gastrin release

50
Q

What do AA in the stomach do

A

Stimulate gastrin release

51
Q

What is the intestinal phase of gastric secretion

A
  • 10% of total HCl

- stimulated by distention of SI (NS mediated) and presence of digested protein (hormonal regulation)

52
Q

Gastric juice is made of what components

A

Non-parietal and parietal

53
Q

Failure to secrete what and from what cell results in pernicious anemia

A

IF from parietal cells

54
Q

Where is Vit B12 absorbed

A

Ileum

55
Q

What cells are present in the gastric mucosa

A

Mucous neck cells and gastric epithelial cells (HCO3)
