Q

What is the alkaline tide?

A

Venous blood leaving stomach has higher pH than arterial because of bicarbonate after meal

Q

Describe the cellular mechanism of acid secretion

A

CO2 made into HCO3- + H+ by CA. HCO3- diffuses into blood while H is secreted into the blood via a H/K ATPase (K inside).

Cl- is antiported inside when HCO3- leaves, and is then goes through channel into stomach.

Also note the regular Na/K ATPase.

Q

How does gastrin stimulate acid secretion?

A

hormone!

Q

How does ACh stimulate acid secretion?

A

neurocrine!

M3 receptor –> Gq/IP3 mechanism that stimulates H/K ATPase

17
Q

How does histamine stimulate acid secretion?

A

paracrine!

Histamine from ECL cells –> h2 receptor –> Gs/cAMP –> stimulates H/K ATPase

18
Q

Describe the interaction between gastrin levels and acid levels

A

Independent

19
Q

What’s the difference in picking your food vs. not?

A

More acid secretion when you get to pick

20
Q

This phase of acid secretion is entirely mediated by the vagal nerve **

A

Cephalic (30% of secretion) via ACh, even when gastrin is absent

21
Q

Describe the interdigestive output

A

Peaks at night (GERD worst then)

unrelated to plasma gastrin

22
Q

Describe the gastric phase of acid release

A

peaks 20-40 minutes after meal
lasts 3-4 hours
More acid with high protein
Gastrin elevated ~ 1.5h

23
Q

How does the CNS affect acid output based on stimuli?

A

Vagal signals to release ACh and gastrin

24
Q

This substance can inhibit all gastrin release

A

somatostatin

25
Q

What effects on acid secretion does distention have?

A

Stimulates vagus which causes ACH and GRP release

Also stimulates ‘local reflexes’ to release ACH to act on G cells to release gastrin

26
Q

What affect does digested protein have on acid secretion?

A

Stimulates G cells to secrete gastrin

27
Q

What mechanisms of acid secretion are found in all stages?

A

Gastrin - ECL - histamine release

ACh - ECL - histamine release

28
Q

Why does pH rise after a meal?

A

Food buffers

29
Q

Why does the pH begin to fall after the stomach digests a meal?

A

As food is digested the buffer capacity is diminished

30
Q

How is pepsinogen released? 2 ways

A

Vagal stimulation of peptic cell

Acid itself triggers cholinergic stimulation of peptic cells

31
Q

Upon reaching the duodenum, acid causes __ release

A

secretin

32
Q

What is the mechanism of secretin?

A

Acts hormonally to stimulate more pepsinogen release from peptic cells

33
Q

What is the main difference between peptic and duodenal ulcers?

A

Duodenal: ulcers in antrum, fewer secretions
Gastric: ulcers all over stomach, high secretions
