A

Enteroendocrine G cells in duodenum secrete intestinal gastrin that increase gastric juice

109
Q

Inhibitory events of intestinal phase

A

Enterocendocrine cells in duodenum secrete CCK and secretin

110
Q

Gastric filling

A

Reflective relaxation occurs in stomach coordinated by swallowing center of the brain stem. Is a stress relaxation response of smooth muscle

111
Q

Peristaltic mixing waves

A

About 3 per minute occur and mix food with gastric secretion to create chyme. Are more powerful near pylorus

112
Q

Gastric emptying

A

Rhythmic mixing waves force 3ml of chyme through pyloric sphincter

113
Q

Stomach empties every?

A

In 2-4 hours. Carb rich chyme empties fastest and triglyceride rich chyme causes food to remain in stomach for 6+ hours

114
Q

Secretory cells in gastric glands include? (4)

A

Mucous neck cells, parietal cells, chief cells, and enternoendocrine G cells

115
Q
