2- Helping ferrous and calcium absorption.

3- Killing bacteria in food into the stomach.

4- Promoting pancreatic, small intestinal and bile secretion.

Question 16

Regulation of HCl secretion by :

Answer 16

1. Stimulation of gastric acid secretion

2- Enzymes

3-Intrinsic factor

4- Mucous secretion

Question 17

Parietal cell is stimulated by:

Answer 17

1- Acetylcholine (ACh): Acts on Muscarinic receptors by increasing intracellular free Ca++.

2-Gastrin : Acts by by increasing intracellular free Ca++.

3- Histamine : Acts via H2 receptors by increasing cAMP.

Question 18

Acetylcholine (ACh) blocked by

Atropine

Question 19

Histamine blocked by

Answer 19

-famotidine (Pepcid)

Question 20

Inhibition of gastric acid secretion by :

Answer 20

• -ve feedback inhibition of parietal cells by the HCl itself.

• Some GIT hormones: As GIP, CCK, secretin and VIP.

• Enterogastric reflex.

• Prostaglandins : by decreasing histamine effect .

Question 21

Pepsinogen:

1- It is secreted from:

2- Its secretion is stimulated by:

3- It is activated by:

4-It is activated in:

Answer 21

1- peptic (chief) cells , When it is secreted it is “inactive”

2- ACh, gastrin and histamine.

3- HCl into pepsin

4- In the stomach at PH 2 (highly acidic medium)

Question 22

Once the Pepsinogen is convert into pepsin the pepsin digest the proteins into:

Answer 22

polypeptides and peptones

Question 23

Gastric amylase: plays a very minor role in ?

Answer 23

digestion of starch

Question 24

Gastric lipase:

Answer 24

digestion of Lipid

Question 25

Gelatinase:

Answer 25

liquefies gelatin

Question 26

Gastric urease:

Answer 26

abnormally released in the presense of bacteria that are normally killed by HCl

Question 27

The Intrinsic factor:

• It is a glycoprotein secreted by the……

• It combines with vitamin……… to allow its …… from the terminal ileum.

• Vit. B12 is a maturation factor in………. and in absence of oxyntic cells, the patient develops ……….

Answer 27

• Parietal (oxyntic) cells.

• vit. B12 , absorption

• erythropoisis , pernicious anemia

“ vit. B2 عامل خارجي مانصنعه في الجسم “

Question 28

phases of gastric secretion:

Answer 28

1. Cephalic phase (nervous)
2. Gastric phase (nervous and hormonal)
3. Intestinal phase (nervous and hormonal)

Question 29

Cephalic phase (nervous):

Answer 29

• It accounts for about 20% of gastric secretion associated with eating a meal.

Question 30

Cephalic phase (nervous):

Food simulate gastric secretion through:

Answer 30

• a) Conditioned reflex: Seeing, smell, hearing or even thinking of food

• b) Unconditioned reflex: Presence of food in the mouth .

Question 31

2. Gastric phase (nervous and hormonal):

Answer 31

• This phase begins when the food enters the stomach.

• It accounts for about 70% of gastric secretion

Question 32

Intestinal phase (nervous and hormonal):

Answer 32

stimulation of gastric secretion through the release of gastrin hormone from duodenal mucosa in response to the digestive breakdown products of protein.

Question 33

Gastric (gastroduodenal) mucosal barrier:

Answer 33

• Protects the gastric mucosa from damage, irritation by gastric HCl or auto-digestion by pepsin enzyme.

Question 34

The protective factors of Gastric (gastroduodenal) mucosal barrier:

Answer 34

• Thick, viscid alkaline mucous layer

•Tight junctions between adjacent epithelial cells.

• Neutralization of the gastric acid by the alkaline secretions (pancreatic secretion,
bile secretion

• Continuous regeneration of gastric mucosa.
