18
Q

What 3 mechanisms control Gastric Acid secretion?

A
  1. Neurocrine
  2. Endocrine
  3. Paracrine
19
Q

By what mechanism does the Neurocrine mechanism control Gastric Acid secretion?

A
  1. The arrival of the Bolus in the Stomach causes the Enteric Reflex to occur
  2. The Presence of Food causes Parasympathetic Vagal Nerve Stimulation to Increase
  3. Both of these cause Acetylcholine release, which acts on the Parietal Cells to increase the production of Gastric Acid
20
Q

By what mechanism does the Endocrine mechanism control Gastric Acid secretion?

A
  1. The Presence of Food causes Parasympathetic Vagal Nerve Stimulation to Increase
  2. This causes Gastrin Release from G-Cells of the Stomach / Duodenum
  3. Gastrin acts on the Parietal Cells to increase the production of Gastric Acid
21
Q

By what mechanism does the Paracrine mechanism control Gastric Acid secretion?

A
  1. The Presence of Food causes Parasympathetic Vagal Nerve Stimulation to Increase, and Gastrin to be Produced
  2. These act on Enterochromaffin Cells (ECL Cells) within the Gastric Glands (In the Gastric Mucosa)
  3. This causes the Production of Histamine from ECL Cells
  4. Histamine acts on the Parietal Cells to increase the production of Gastric Acid
22
Q

What are the 3 Phases which inhibit Gastric Acid Secretion?

A
  1. The Cephalic Phase
  2. The Gastric Phase
  3. The Intestinal Phase
23
Q

By what mechanism does the Cephalic Phase inhibit Gastric Acid secretion?

A
  1. Stopping eating decreases the Vagus Nerve (Parasympathetic) Activity
  2. This causes a decrease in the Production of Gastric Acid
24
Q

By what mechanism does the Gastric Phase inhibit Gastric Acid secretion?

A
  1. The pH decreases due to the increasing concentration of Gastric Acid
  2. This inhibits Gastrin production from the G-Cells in the Stomach / Duodenum
  3. This causes a decrease in the Production of Gastric Acid
25
Q

By what mechanism does the Intestinal Phase inhibit Gastric Acid secretion?

A
  1. The presence of Acid in the Duodenum stimulates the Enterogastric Reflex and the release of Secretin
  2. Fat in the Duodenum causes the release of Gastric Inhibitor Polypeptide (GIP) to be released
  3. These all decrease Gastrin Secretion
  4. This causes a decrease in the Production of Gastric Acid
