I. Pancreatic secretion
4. What are the 2 Functions of pancreatic juice secretion?

A
  1. Neutralize acidic content of stomach
    - Protection of intestinal mucosae (sensitive to low pH)
    - Digestive enzymes in the small intestine require neutral pH (~7) to work
  2. Pancreatic juice contributes to digestion of the meal
    - Has many digestive enzyme

Q

I. Pancreatic secretion
5. What is Sequential secretion mechanism?

A
  • Not just acinar cells, but also duct cells produce fluid (actually more)
  • The acinar cells work similarly as in the salivary gland, but there are some differences: acinar cells here produce much more enzymes (digestive enzymes)

Q

III. Duct cells
6. What happen if the secretion rate↑?

A
  • If the secretion rate↑, then distal duct cells have no time to exchange back HCO3-
    -> [HCO3-]↑ -> pH of pancreatic juice↑
    => In response to meal: PARA activity↑ + pancreatic juice↑ + GA secretion↑
    -> except more acid coming to stomach = need more HCO3- to neutralize
