Q

What are the 3 powerful AGONISTS of parietal cell HCl secretion?

A

ACh
Histamine
Gastrin

17
Q

What are some endogenous ANTAGONISTS of parietal cell HCl secretion?

A

Somatostatin
Prostaglandins
CCK
Secretin

18
Q

What does ACh act on?

A

Muscarinic receptors

19
Q

What does ACh inhibit?

A

Inhibits secretion of somatostatin

20
Q

What does ACh promote?

A

Promotes the secretion of histamine and gastrin

21
Q

What does Histamine act on?

A

H2 receptors

22
Q

Where is Gastrin produced?

A

From G-cells in the gastric and duodenal mucosa

23
Q

What does Somatostatin inhibit?

A

Inhibits release of gastrin

24
Q

What does CCK do?

A

Acts to decrease acid by binding to gastrin/CCK receptors with little excitation

25
Q

Where is secretin produced?

A

It is an endocrine product of the duodenal mucosal cells

26
Q

What drugs influence parietal cell activity and therefore production/secretion of HCl?

A
Atropine
H2 Receptor Blockers
Inhibitors of H+-K+ ATPase
Glucocorticoids
COX Inhibitors
27
Q

What does the administration of glucocorticoids/COX inhibitors do?

A

Increase acid production/secretion

28
Q

In general, the cephalic phase and gastric phase of glandular stomach activity are _________.

A

Stimulatory

29
Q

In general, the intestinal phase of glandular stomach activity is ________.

A

Inhibitory

30
Q

What acts as a feedback inhibitor of acid production in the stomach?

A

Somatostatin

31
Q

What inhibits paracrine and endocrine secretions at many sites in the body?

A

Somatostatin

32
Q

When you think INHIBITION, you should think __________.

A

Somatostatin

33
Q

A

GASTRIN!

34
Q

What does the following?:
Is vasodilatory in effect
Increases gastric motility

A

HISTAMINE

35
Q

What does the following?:
Inhibits histamine-secreting cells in the stomach
Inhibits CCK-secreting cells and secretin-secreting cells in the small intestine
Slows nutrient absorption in the small intestine
Inhibits exocrine secretion in the pancreas
Inhibits secretion of glucagon by a-cells of the pancreas
Inhibits secretion of insulin by b-cells of the pancreas

A

SOMATOSTATIN= INHIBITION

36
Q

What does Ghrelin do?

A

Stimulates the release of Growth Hormone by the adenohypophysis

Q

T or F: Ghrelin is an orexigenic substance.

A

True

39
Q

The relative concentrations of which two substances modulate the gut’s message to the brain as it pertains to food intake?

A

CCK and Ghrelin
