4-pancreas Flashcards
is the pancreas majorily exocrine or endocrine
exocrine
what are the major exocrine secretions
enzymes and HCO3-
what are the major endocrine secretions
hormones (insulin), non-digestive!
what is the main pancreatic duct
join common bile duct just before entering duodenum
what is the tonicity of pancreatic juice
isotoic
what is the acidity of pancreatic juice
alkaline
what is in pancreatic juice
electrolytes and enzymes
who secreted most of the HCO3- and H2O
duct cells
who secretes digestive enzymes
Acinar cells
how is neutral ph conserved in duct cells
H+ goes out as well as HCO3-
what drives water and Na into lumen of duct cells
Cl- leaving the CFTR channel
what is the alkaline tide
parital cells pumping HCO3- into blood
what is the acid tide
pancreatic duct cells secreting H+ into blood
what would happen without the pancreas
starvation!!!
where to acinar cells package pro-enzymes
zymogen granules in the apical pole of the cell
