3 Secretions Of The GI Tract And Pancreas Flashcards
Parotid glands are what type of glands?
Submaxillary/submandibular glands?
Sublingual glands?
Serous
Serous and mucous cells; fluid and mucin glycoprotein
Serous and mucous cells; fluid and mucin glycoprotein
Structure of salivary glands:
_____ produces initial saliva.
____modifies saliva.
_____ contracts to eject saliva as stimulated by neuron I put
Acinus
Striated duct
Contractile (myoepithelial cells)
Initial digestion of starches, lipids, and dilution of food, lubrication with mucus for swallowing
Saliva
Kallikrein secreted in saliva used to make _____.
Bradykinin for vasodilation
Composition of saliva
Water, electrolytes, alpha amylase (ptyalin), lingual lipase, kallikrein, mucus
Saliva is ______ compared to plasma.
Higher levels of _____.
Lower levels of _____.
Hypotonic
K, HCO3
Na, Cl
What cells modify the saliva?
How?
Ductal cells
Saliva was isotonic and plasma like; ductal cells modified the plasma solution to make it hypotonic (saliva)
There is a net absorption of solutes because ductal cells are impermeable to water and not absorbed with the solute->solution becomes hypotonic
What pumps are on the luminal membrane (apical) of a ductal cell?
Basolateral membrane (blood)?
IN/OUT
Na/H
Cl/HCO3
H/K
K/Na
——/CL
HCO3,Na/——
Why are there multiple channels moving H and HCO3?
Allow the enzymes to work because they work optimally at different pH levels
Parasympathetic innervation of salivary glands
Sympathetic innervation
Fx?
Facial and glossopharyngeal N
Originate from T1-T3 and superior cervical ganglion
Increase salivary secretions
Sympathetic postsynaptic nerve fibers extend to glands by _____.
Periarterial spaces
Salivary gland parasympathetics stimulated by _____.
Inhibited by ______.
Conditioning, food, nausea, smell
Dehydration, fear, sleep
Stimuli->parasympathetic response though _____ nerves-> release ______ binding to ______ receptors in the tissue->secrete _____ in the acinar/ductal cell.
CNVII, CNIX (facial and glossopharyngeal)
ACh
Muscarinic
Ca, IP3
Stimuli->sympathetic response through _____ nerves->release _____ binding to _____ receptors in the tissue -> secrete ______ in the acinar/ductal cell
T1-T3
NE
Beta
cAMP
Main components of gastric juice and fx
HCl: initiates protein digestion; converts pepsinogen to pepsin; kills bacteria
Pepsinogen: inactive precursor to pepsin
Intrinsic factor: secretes vitamin B12
Mucus: lines the stomach and protects, lubricates, neutralize acids
Water
Cells and location of the oxyntic gland
In gastric mucosa of proximal stomach, little in body and fundus
Parietal cells D cells Mucous cells ECF cells Chief cells
Cells and location of pyloric gland
Distal stomach (antrum)
G cells
D cells
Mucous cells
ECF cells
Location and fx of parietal cells
Body (oxyntic glands)
Secrete HCl (pepsinogen->pepsin) Increase secretion of H ions (HCl) so more acidic->increase absorption of HCO3
Intrinsic factor
Alkaline tide
Venous blood has a higher pH than arterial blood
Because net secretion of HCl and absorption of HCO3 in parietal cells
Location and fx of G cells
Antrum (pyloric gland)
Secrete gastrin
Parasympathetic stimulation of G cells by _____ nerve-> release ______-> directly stimulate release of gastrin
Vagus N
GRP
Parasympathetic stimulation of _____ nerve -> releases ______ binding to muscarinic receptors on D cells -> stimulating D cells to secrete somatostatin-> indirectly _____ gastrin release.
Vagus N
ACh
Inhibits
Somatostatin is secreted from _____. Act on G cells by _____ gastrin release.
Negative feedback: gastrin ____ somatostatin secretion
H in lumen stimulates _____ secretion.
D cells
Inhibiting
Increases
Somatostatin
Location and fx of chief cells
What stimulates chief cells?
Body of stomach in oxyntic glands
Secrete pepsinogen
Vagus N
Pepsinogen needs a ____ pH.
Why?
inactivated at a _____ pH.
Low
Pepsinogen is converted to pepsin (breaks down peptides/proteolytic enzyme) at the optimal pH of 1.8-3.5 (LOW)
Therefore needs parietal cells to secrete HCl (H+) and decrease pH
High
