2.06 GI Secretions & Asorption Flashcards
How is the stomach antrum different from the corpus/body in terms of what cells it has?
No parietal cells
Endocrine Cells
What does gastric fluid look like in a low secretion or low gastric acid state?
Resembles plasma electrolyte composition (pH 6-7)
High Na+ and Low H+ b/c non parietal cells
What does gastric fluid look like in a high gastric acid or high secretion state?
Low pH (1-2), H+ secreted by parietal cells (HCL) rather than NaCl , b/c increase in gastrin and Histamine signaling
What does the parietal cells have that allows it to increase its surface are when cell is stimulated?
Tubulovesicular structures (canaliculus when active)
Where do the H+ ions pumped out by the parietal cells come from?
Passive uptake of CO2 and H20 (OH) that gets converted by carbonic anhydride to HCO3- (bicarb/Cl- exchanger) and H+
What helps regulate parietal cell pH levels at the basal state?
Na-H exchanger
What are three things that acts synergistically to release H+ from parietal cells?
Ach
Histamine
Gastrin
Where does Ach come from and bind to directly act on parietal cells?
Ach from vagus binds to M3 receptor
Where does gastrin come from and what does it bind to in order to directly stimulate parietal cells?
Gastrin from G cells to CCK2 receptor
Where does Histamine come from and what does it bind to in order to active parietal cells?
His from ECL cell binds to H2 receptor
What are H2 blockers that act as competitive antagonists to block Histamine?
Cimetidine & Ranitidine
What are indirect ways to activate the parietal cell?
All through the ECL cells
Ach to M3 to release His
Gastrin to CCK2 to release His
Condition that results in gastric hypersecretion that can lead to peptic ulcers and gastrinomas?
Zollinger Ellison Syndrome
How does high gastrin both directly and indirectly acts on pathways?
Direct = CCK2 on parietal
Indirect = ECL stimulation
What is the endocrine cels responsible for relabeling gastrin?
G cells
What is the endocrine cell responsible for the inhibition of gastrin release?
D cell
What are the stimuli for gastrin release?
Food (luminal peptides and amino acids) and Neuronal (direct vagal or D cells)
