Q

List three ways that HCl secretion is inhibited.

A
  1. decreased pH of gastric contents
  2. Somatostatin

27
Q

Which pancreatic enzymes are secreted in inactive forms?

A

Proteases

28
Q

Where is the aqueous component of pancreatic secretions modified?

A

Transport process in ductal cells

29
Q

What is the overall goal for pancreatic secretion, which ions end up where?

A

HCO3- into lumen and H+ into blood

30

37
Q

The enzymatic portion of the pancreatic juice is stimulated by what?

A
