directly inhibits parietal cell secretion
inhibits gastrin and histamine

Q

what are the pathways that induce HCL secretion?

A

Ach and gastrin - PLC IP3 pathway, increased Ca2+
histamine - Increase in cAMP

Q

what is the gastric phase?

A

food in stomach increases pH
prevents D cell activity
peptides in food stimulate G cell activity so gastrin and HCL released

Q

what is the intestinal phase?

A

chyme enters duodenum
feedback prevents chyme acidity
stimulation of hormones
decrease in pH and food stimulates D cell activity

Q

mechanism of HCL secretion?

A
  • CO2 diffuses into parietal cells and is hydrated to carbonic acid
  • acid dissociates into H+ and HCO3-
  • H+/K+ ATPase actively transports H+ out and K+ in
  • Na+ actively reabsorbed
  • K+ recycled to gastric lumen
  • Cl- passively exits

16
Q

what does the extracellular H+ generate?

A

osmotic gradient across membranes
H2O outward diffusion

17
Q

how is the mucosa protected from HCL?

A

-mucin glycoprotein released due to vagal stimulation and irritation
- gastric surface secretes HCO3- that accumulates near surface and is trapped by mucus

18
Q

why is continual production of mucin required?

A

mucin is cleaved by pepsin

19
Q

why is the mucous layer rich in bicarbonate?

A

creates micro-environment to stop acid damage

20
Q

what do prostaglandins do?

A

reduce HCL secretion
increase mucus and bicarbonate
