Exam 4 (Gastric Secretion) Flashcards
5 components of gastric juice in the simple stomach
- HCl
- water
- pepsin
- intrinsic factor
- mucus
HCl in gastric juice of simple stomach is (hypertonic/hypotonic/isotonic).
isotonic
Pepsin, a component of gastric juice, is ______ (breaks down _____).
proteolytic
proteins
Function of intrinsic factor (gastric juice component)
B12 absorption in ileum (in pancreas in dog/cat)
Surface epithelium of gastric mucosa is lined with _______ and has numerous ______.
simple columnar epithelium
gastric pits
How many gastric glands do one gastric pit serve in surface epithelium of gastric mucosa?
1-3
What 2 epithelial cell types are in the Cardiac Gland Region?
mucous cell
enteroendocrine cell
Mucous cells secretory products
mucus + pepsinogen
Enteroendocrine cell secretory product in cardiac gland region
variable
Oxyntic Gland Region epithelial cell types
parietal cell
chief cell
mucous cell
enteroendocrine cell
Parietal cell secretory products
HCl + intrinsic factor
Chief cell secretory product
pepsinogen
Enteroendocrine cell types in the Oxyntic Gland Region
ECL (enterochromaffin-like cell)
D cells
What do ECL cells produce?
histamine (paracrine)
D cells secretory product in Oxyntic Gland Region
somatostatin (paracrine)
Function of somatostatin
inhibit release of histamine + gastric acid
Which cell type is NOT in the Pyloric Gland Region?
parietal cells
Epithelial cell types in the Pyloric Gland Region
mucous cell
enteroendocrine cell
What 2 enteroendocrine cells are in the Pyloric Gland Region?
G cell
D cell
Secretory product of G cells
gastrin (endocrine)
Function of Somatostatin in Pyloric Gland Region
inhibits gastrin release
Function of Somatostatin in Pyloric Gland Region
inhibits gastrin release when pH too low
What is the “universal inhibitor of gastric acid”?
somatostatin
5 functions of Gastric HCl
- activate pepsinogen
- provide optimal pH for pepsin action
- denature/hydrolyze protein –> AAs
- bacteriocidal
- demineralizes ingested bone
