Q

What histamine receptors are on parietal cells

A

H2 receptors

22
Q

why is acetylcholine released

A

parasympathetic nervous system innervation

23
Q

what receptors does gastrin bind to on parietal cells

A

CCK2

24
Q

what cells is gastrin released from

A

G cells in the stomach

25
Q

what does gastrin do

A
stimulates: 
acid
pepsinogen secretion
gastric motility 
Inhibits gastric emptying
26
Q

where is secretin secreted

A

by the duodenum

27
Q

why is secretin secreted

A

in response to acid

28
Q

what does secretin do

A

inhibits gastric acid production

increased pancreatic and biliary bicarbonate secretion

29
Q

where is CCK secreted

A

by the duodenum

30
Q

Why is CCK released

A

in response to food, especially fat

31
Q

what does CCK do

A

inhibits gastric secretion and motility

stimulates pancreatic bicarbonate, enzymes and bile secretion.

32
Q

where is somatosatin released

A

D cells in stomach

33
Q

why is somatosatin released

A

in response to acid –> inhibits gastric secretion

34
Q

What is cimetidine

A

H2-receptor antagonist

treats heartburn and GERD

35
Q

what causes stomach ulcers

A

helicobacter pylori

hepatic portal vein

38
Q

what controls entry of nutrients into the peripheral circulation

A

the liver

39

45
Q

how does glucose enter the mucosal cells of the small intestine

A

active transport of glucose into mucosal cells via a symporter with 2 Na+

46
Q

where do carbohydrates, fats and protein enter the blood stream via

A

the portal vein

47
Q

how do chylomicrons enter the internal body

A

lymphatics

48
Q

What is the glycemic index

A

relative ability of carbohydrate food to increase blood glucose levels

49
Q

benefits of non-starch polysaccharides (3)

A

absorbs bile acids and cholesterol
absorbs carcinogens in the colon
increase viscosity of gut content

50
Q

where does most B12 absorption happen

A

ileum
