Q

What is gastric emptying inhibited/slowed by ⭐️

A
  • Entry of chyme into duodenum (duodenal
    distention)
  • Fat, protein, cations (electrolytes)
  • Acidity (pH < 3.5) in duodenum

Q

Gastric (peptic) ulcer vs. Duodenal (peptic) ulcer

A
  • Gastric (Peptic) Ulcer - mucosa damage due to leakage of acid from stomach.
  • Duodenal (Peptic) Ulcer - More acid present in duodenum than normal (not clear, though) - increased parietal cell mass. Increased HCl + pepsinogen secretion.
