Exam 4: Lecture 56: Gastric, pancreatic, and bile secretions Flashcards
Vagal stimulation has direct paths to stimulate the secretion of what two substances?
HCl and gastrin
In the indirect path of vagal stimulation what occurs to stimulate HCl secretion?
gastrin from G cells -> systemic circulation -> HCl from parietal cells
Why can’t atropine block HCl secretion completely?
It cannot block the second direct vagal pathway - the one that stimulates gastrin from G cells
What are the phases of HCl secreiton?
- Cephalic phase
- Gastric phase
- Intestinal phase
Which phase produces the most amount of HCl?
Gastric phase
What is the stimuli for the cephalic phase of HCl secretion?
smelling, tasting, chewing, swallowing, and conditioned reflexes.
What is the stimulation of HCl secretion in the gastric phase?
distention of stomach and presence of AA and peptides
What stimulates HCl secretion during the intestinal phase?
Products of protein digestion
Why would HCl secretion be inhibited?
When it is no longer needed for conversion of pepsinogen to pepsin
List three ways that HCl secretion is inhibited.
- decreased pH of gastric contents
- Somatostatin
- Prostaglandins antagonize histamine by reducing cAMP
How does somatostatin directly inhibit HCl secretion?
binds parietal cells and antagonizes histamine pathway by decreasing cAMP
How does somatostatin indirectly inhibit HCl secretion?
Inhibits both histamine and gastrin release
What are the barriers to acid and pepsin damage to gastric mucosa?
Bicarbonate and mucus
What are some causes of peptic ulcer disease?
loss of mucus, excessive H+, and pepsin secretion
T/F: Most dogs and cats are positive for H.pylori
True
What causes duodenal ulcers?
H+ secretory rate is higher than normal
What causes Zollinger-Ellison syndrome?
High rates of H+ secretion due to high gastrin and delivery of high H+ to duodenum
What is steatorrhea?
Excess fat in feces
Which enzyme allows H. pylori to survive the acidic environment of the stomach?
Urease
Which part of the exocrine gland is responsible for secretion of the enzymes?
Acinus
Which two types of cells secrete the aqueous portion of pancreatic secretions?
Ductal and centroacinar cells
The SNS (inhibit/stimulates) the exocrine pancreas
Inhibit
The PNS (inhibits/stimulates) the exocrine pancreas
Stimulates
The enzymes for the enzymatic component of pancreatic secretions are synthesized where?
Rough ER of acinar cells
