26: Stomach Flashcards
Parietal cell function: the players
HCL dissociate in to hydrogen and bicarb
- proton pump (hydrogen potassium)
- potassium and chloride channles
- carbonic anhydrase
- bicarb/chloride antiporter
Parietal cell function
hydrogen out, sodium in
potassium goes out and recycles continuously
so we get rid of H ions
Parietal cell function 2
Bicarb/cholride antiporter:
chloride comes in, and exits. like K
bicarb stays and diffuses into blood vessle
stomach is like a
washing machiene/grinder
to produce chyme and finish what mouth didn’t
mechanical digestion
gentle waves in stomach to mix bolus with juices
more vigours from body to stomach to pyloric region to move chyme
intense near pyloriys to opening of pyloric sphincter to squirt out teaspoons (1-2 per wave)
protein digestion
starts in stomach
HCl denatures protein molecs
HCl activates pesinogen to pepsin to break peptide bonds to A.As
Fat digestion
continues in stomach
gastric lipase splits triglycercides (but most effective at pH 5-6) (infant stomach)
HCl also
kills microbes
Mucous
keeps stomach walls from being digested
Things stomach absorbs
water
electrolytes
drugs (asprin)
fat (to slow passage of alcohol to intestine where it is quicker)
alcohol (more slowly if fat taken in too)
Cephalic Phase
anticipation prepare mouth and stomach sight, smell, memories, thoughts of food salivation (facial and Glossopharyngeal) gastic glands secrete gastric juices (Vagus)
Gastric Phase
breakdown of material
Intestinal Phase
controlled release of chyme
entry into duodenoum slows gastic activity, inc intestinal activity
Neural influence on Gastric Phase
strech receptors and chemoreceptors–> signal bolus entry
vigorous peristalsis and gastric gland secretions
chyme periodically released into duodenum
Endocrine influences on Gastric Phase
distention and pressure of food= G cells secrete gastrin
gastrin
inc gastric gland secretions and motillity
causes pyloric sphincter relaxation
Neural influence on Intesinal Phase
distension of duodenum and chem contents of chyme= activated symp nerves
this slows gastric activity
Endocrine influnce on Intesinal Phase
distension of duodenum and contents of chyme= hormonal release from dnteroendocrine cells here
secretin
cholecystokinin (CCK)
secretin
dec stomach secretions
