Q

What are the effects of CCK secretion?

A

Contraction of gallbladder
Stimulation of pancreatic acinar cells
Stimulation of pancreatic ductular cells

17
Q

What happens when an animal is suddenly brought to high altitude?

A
Respiratory ALKALOSIS and 
Metabolic ACIDOSIS (from lactic acidosis due to hypoxia)
18
Q

Metabolic Acidosis causes a/an ________ anion gap.

A

Metabolic acidosis causes an INCREASED anion gap

19
Q

What percent of filtered plasma is reabsorbed by the PCT?

A

65% of filtered plasma is reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule of the kidney

20
Q

Pulmonary artery [HCO3-] is __________ that pulmonary vein [HCO3-].

A

The concentration of HCO3- in the pulmonary ARTERY is GREATER than its concentration in the pulmonary vein.

21
Q

Secretion of ADH ______ subsequent to hemorrhage.

A

ADH secretion INCREASES after hemorrhage.

22
Q

What is the most potent secretagogue at the pancreatic acinar cell?

A

CCK is the most potent secretagogue at pancreatic acinar cells. It has a potent trophic effect here.

23
Q

What does GIP do at the pancreas?

A

GIP stimulates release of insulin by the B-cells in the islets of langerhaans.

24
Q

The _______ is the major site for production of Unconjugated bilirubin

A

The SPLEEN is the major site for UNconjugated bilirubin synthesis.

25
Q

“Nature’s antacid” is ______. Why?

A

SECRETIN is also known as “nature’s antacid”.

26
Q

What does SECRETIN do?

A

Secretin DECREASES the release of gastrin and
DECREASES the secretion of HCl acid at the stomach.
It also INCREASES the secretion of HCO3- in the jejunum to dilute H+

27
Q

What substance has the greatest concentration of organic molecules?

A

BILE has the greatest concentration of organic molecules.

28
Q

What can increase acid secretion by gastric pancreatic cells?

A

Histamine, Gastrin, and ACh

29
Q

What will NOT increase acid secretion by gastric pancreatic cells?

A

Epinephrine

30
Q

How are PRIMARY secretions modified by salivary, pancreatic, and ductular epithelium?

A

Bicarb is added to primary secretions by salivary, pancreatic, and ductular epithelium.

31
Q

What can cause an elevation of plasma [bile acid] concentration?

A

Cholestasis (everything backs up, BA leaks out)
Portosystemic shunt (blood not getting to liver, cannot filter out BA)
Liver Disease
