gastric acid secretion Flashcards
2 gland areas of stomach?
fundus - acid secreting oxyntic gland area
pylorus - pyloric gland area
cells found in fundus area?
mucous cells
chief cells
ECL cells
parietal cells
cells found in pyloric area?
mucous cells
G cells
D cells
positive regulators of acid secretion?
Acetylcholine (enteric neurons)
histamine (ECL cells)
gastrin (G cells)
negative regulators of acid secretion?
somatostatin (D cells)
how does Ach stimulate acid secretion?
direct parietal cell stimulation
how does histamine stimulate acid secretion?
paracrine activity
direct parietal stimulation
how does gastrin stimulate acid secretion?
endocrine action
stimulates histamine release and parietal cell proliferation
how does somatostatin decrease acid secretion?
directly inhibits parietal cell secretion
inhibits gastrin and histamine
what are the pathways that induce HCL secretion?
Ach and gastrin - PLC IP3 pathway, increased Ca2+
histamine - Increase in cAMP
3 phases that stimulate acid secretion?
cephalic phase
gastric phase
intestinal phase
what is the cephalic phase?
sight/smell/thought of food increases acid
what is the gastric phase?
food in stomach increases pH
prevents D cell activity
peptides in food stimulate G cell activity so gastrin and HCL released
what is the intestinal phase?
chyme enters duodenum
feedback prevents chyme acidity
stimulation of hormones
decrease in pH and food stimulates D cell activity
mechanism of HCL secretion?
- 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
