77
Q

NORADRENALINE BINDS to … to stimulate PROTEIN Production/Secretion

A

G-PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTOR : BETA ANDRENERGIC RECEPTOR

78
Q

how does NORADRENALINE binding to G-PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTOR (BETA ANDRENERGIC) on ACINAR CELLS stimulate PROTEIN production and release

A

G-PROTEIN is activated
- alpha subunit activates ADENYLATE CYCLASE

A

M3 MUSCARINIC RECEPTOR
- G PROTEIN COUPLED

83
Q

in ACINAR CELLS, the binding of ACETYL CHOLINE to G-PROTEIN COUPLED receptor (M3 MUSCARINIC) causes ACTIVATION of which TARGET ENZYME

which GENERATES…

A

PHOSPHOLIPASE C

generates 2nd messenger:
IP3 (Inositol 1,4,5 triphosphate)

84
Q

what does 2ND MESSENGER IP3 cause in ACINAR CELLS (fluid secretion)

A

binds IP3 Receptors mostly on ER

  • receptors are also CALCIUM CHANNELS
    -> RELEASE INTRACELLULAR Ca2+

INCREASE in CA2+ in ACINAR CELLS triggers secretory response

85
Q

how does the INCREASE in Ca2+ in ACINAR CELLS, cause FLUID SECRETION

A

ACTIVATION of CA2+ CHANNEL on APICAL SIDE of ACINAR cell membrane
- Ca2+ OUT

ACTIVATION of K+ CHANNEL on BASOLATERAL SIDE of Acinar cell membrane
- K+ OUT

APICAL SIDE made MORE NEGATIVE than Basolateral

-> DRIVES NA+ SECRETION (between cells from basolateral to apical)

creates OSMOTIC GRADIENT for FLUID (H2O) SECRETION

86
