Gastrin (hormone for HCL release by g cells)
3 Gastric gland cells:
- Mucous neck cells (mucous)
- Chief cells (pepsinogen)
- Parietal cells (HCL & intrinsic factor)
Pepsin is stored in an inactive form as pepsinogen to prevent
degradation of proteins in stomach wall
CO2 waste product in blood enters stomach cell, combines with H2O to give
carbonic acid, which dissociates into bicarbonate & hydrogen ions
H ion then actively transported into stomach lumen using
hydrogen potassium ATPase (Stomach lumen pH<2)
Bicarbonate (HCO3) ion is released back into blood in exchange for
CL in (blood pH>7.4)
CL diffuses into
stomach lumen
Stomach lumen pH:
pH<2
3 types of control of gastric acid secretion:
- Neurocrine (vagus/local reflexes)
- Endocrine (gastrin)
- Paracrine (histamine)
3 types of control of gastric acid secretion:
- Neurocrine (vagus/local reflexes)
- Endocrine (gastrin)
- Paracrine (histamine)
Cephalic phase stimulation (in head):
- Sight, smell, taste
- Increase vagus nerve activity
- Ach release, gastrin release by G cells (increase HCL release by parietal cells)
- Release of ach and gastrin also stimulate enterochromaffin-like cells to release histamine (increase HCL release by parietal cells)
Gastric phase stimulation:
- Stomach stretching -> stimulate vagus/enteric reflex -> Ach released
- Peptide in lumen -> stimulate G cells -> gastrin released
- Gastrin/Ach release -> enterochromaffin-like cells -> histamine released
Mechanisms Stimulating
Gastric Acid Secretion involves:
Cephalic phase & Gastric phase
