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
How does Gastric HCl activate pepsinogen?
acid cleavage to activate & autocleave –> pepsin
What is the optimal pH for pepsin action which Gastric HCl provides?
2-4
What is the purpose of denaturing/hydrolysis of native protein –> amino acids by Gastric HCl?
gastrin stimulus (for release)
What about Gastric HCl is lost with certain meds? Why?
bacteriocidal function lost
PPT (proton pump inhibitor) blocks HCl secretion
It’s usually not a problem when an animal swallows a bone because gastric HCl demineralizes ingested bone by dissolving ____.
CaPO4
HCl is secreted via _______ and is (primary/secondary/tertiary) active transport.
H+ / K+ ATPase (H+ pump)
primary (uses ATP)
For HCl secretion, ____ and ___ diffuse into the parietal cell.
H2O + CO2
_____ is on the apical membrane and exchanged for ___, so ___ is pumped into the lumen during HCl secretion mechanism.
H+ pump
K+
H+
On the basolateral membrane, ______ exchanger brings ___ in and ___ out during HCl secretion mechanism.
Cl/HCO3
Cl
HCO3
What two things combine to form HCl in the lumen which passes to the blood?
H+ + Cl- = HCl
What is created when HCO3 enters blood as H+ into the lumen?
alkaline tide
Alkaline tide (increases/decreases) blood pH when HCO3 enters blood as H+ enters lumen during HCl secretion mechanism (before/during/after) a meal.
increases
during + after
What 3 substances are “secretagogues” (promoters) in terms of affecting parietal cell HCl secretion?
- histamine
- acetylcholine
- gastrin
Histamine is (endocrine/exocrine/paracrine/neural) and binds to the ___ receptor which increases _____.
paracrine
H2
cAMP
The increase in cAMP by histamine directly stimulates _____ which potentiates Ach/gastrin stimulation of ______.
H-K ATPase
What is the main source of histamine? Minor sources (2)?
ECL cells
mast cells + histaminergic nerves
Stimuli of ECL cell for histamine release (2)
gastrin
acetylcholine
Gastrin stimulates ECL cells to release histamine by binding to ____ receptor on ____ cells.
CCK-B
ECL
Acetylcholine as a stimulus of ECL cell has ____ and ___ reflex activity during appetite + when meal is in stomach.
local + central
What is the inhibitor of ECL cell (and therefore histamine release)?
somatostatin
Somatostatin is released when pH is (high/low).
low
