Q

Which receptor is the H2 receptor coupled with?

A

G protein S coupled receptor (GS receptor)

38
Q

What does the GS receptor activate?

A

Adenylyl cyclase.

39
Q

What does adenylyl cyclase do?

A

Increasers the rate of conversion of ATP to cAMP

40
Q

Which enzyme does cAMP activate?

A

Protein kinase A

41
Q

What happens if you have the activation of protein kinases?

A

Phosphorylates the pump to increase release of HCl or protons

42
Q

Which receptor does acetylcholine work on?

A

Muscarinic receptors known as M3

43
Q

Is the release of acetylcholine based on the activation of sympathetic NS or the parasympathetic NS?

A

Parasympathetic NS

44
Q

What will the activation of M3 do?

A

Increase calcium which will activate protein kinase C. This will phosphorylate the pump and increase proton pumping from the parietal cells to the stomach lumen.

-this is the same as gastrin, so we can say the effects of gastrin and acetylcholine are the same :)

45
Q

Which receptor do prostaglandins work on?

A

EP3

46
Q

What happens when the EP3 receptor is activated?

A

It will activate G inhibitory protein (GI protein)

47
Q

What does GI protein do?

A

Inhibits the conversion of ATP to cAMP which decreases the activation of protein kinase A.
In turn, this decreases the phosphorylation of the pump and decreases the proton pumping, inhibiting the release of HCl.

->I know this is a lot but read through and try and make the links. The recorded lecture may be helpful when going over all of this :)

48
Q

Name the three mechanisms which control the secretion of gastric acid.

A

Neurocrine
Endocrine
Paracrine

49
Q

Give an example of a neurocrine mechanisms which controls the secretion of gastric acid.

A

Acetylcholine

50
Q

Give an example of a endocrine mechanisms which controls the secretion of gastric acid.

A

Gastrine

51
Q

Give an example of a paracrine mechanisms which controls the secretion of gastric acid.

A

Histamine
Prostaglandins

52
Q

Name the three stimulants for the secretion of gastric acid.

A

Acetylcholine
Gastrin
Histamine

53
Q

Name the inhabitant for the secretion of gastric acid.

A

Prostaglandin

54
Q

What can stimulate the cephalic stage gastric acid secretion?

A

Sight/ smell/ taste of food

55
Q

Which nerve is related to the cephalic stage of gastric acid secreation?

A

Vagus nerve

56
Q

What will activation of the vagus nerve do?

A

Increase the release of acetylcholine
Increase the release of gastrin from G cells

57
Q

Which cells get activated when there is gastrin and acetylcholine in the stomach?

A

ECL cells

58
Q

What do ECL cells release?

A

Histamine

59
Q

The cephalic stage occurs before eating food.
When does the gastric stage occur?

A

When there is distension of the stomach due to the arrival of food

60
Q

Which reflexes are activated when the food arrives from the oesophagus into the stomach?

A

Vagal/enteric reflexes

61
Q

What happens due to the vagal/enteric reflexes?

A

Release of acetylocholine

62
Q

What do the peptides found in the lumen activate?

A

G cells, increasing the production of HCl

63
Q

Why do we have the cephalic stage?

A

Important for the sterilisation of food as acid will be produced before the food even enters the stomach

64
Q

How would the cephalic stage be inhibited?

A

Stopping thinking or eating food as will decrease vagal activity

65
Q

How would the gastric stage be inhibited?

A

More HCl will decrease the pH which in turn decreases the release of gastrin.

66
Q

Name the type of mechanism which occurs when despite the fact that gastrin increases HCl production, HCl lowers pH which in turn reduces the release of gastrin.

A

Negative feedback

->sorry if I didn’t word that very well but hopefully you get what I mean :)

67
Q

What is meant by the intestinal stage?

A

When the food moves from the stomach to the duodenum

68
Q

What is the usual pH of the intestine?

A

Neutral or slightly alkaline

69
Q

If acidic content comes from the stomach to the intestine, what is this called?

A

Splanchnic reflex

70
Q

What will a splanchnic reflex do?

A

Inhibit the gastric acid secretion

71
Q

What do S cells in the duodenum release?

A

Secretin horomone

72
Q

What what the secretin hormone do?

A

Decrease gastrin release in the stomach

73
Q

What will having fats or carbs in the duodenum trigger the release of?

A

Gastric Inhibitory Peptide

74
Q

What does gastric inhibitory peptide do?

A

Decreases gastric secretion which in turn decreases HCl secretion

75
Q

What are enterogastrones?

A

A group of hormones which are released from cells in the duodenum

76
Q

Name some of the hormones which are enterogastrones.

A

Secretin
Gastric Inhibitory Peptide
CCK (cholecystokinin)

77
Q

When are enterogastrones released?

A

In response to acid, hypertonic situations, fatty acids or monoglycerides in the duodenum

78
Q

RECAP- what are triglycerides degraded into?

A

Fatty acids and monoglycerides

79
Q

How do enterogastrones prevent the duodenum from having a buildup of acid?

A

Inhibit gastric acid secretion
Reduce gastric emptying

80
Q

What is meant by zymogen?

A

An inactive enzyme

81
Q

Give an example of an inactive enzyme

A

Pepsinogen

82
Q

When does pepsinogen get converted into pepsin?

A

When there is a low pH of the stomach lumen

83
Q

Is the conversion of pepsinogen into pepsin reversible?

A

Yes

84
Q

Where is pepsinogen stored?

A

Chief cells

->think about it, it’s secreted from chief cells so makes sense for it to be stored there

85
Q

At what pH will pepsins become inactivated?

A

Neutral pH

86
Q

Which cells produce gastric mucus?

A

Surface epithelial cells and mucus neck cells

87
Q

What is the role of gastric mucus?

A

Protects the stomach wall from HCl and hydrolytic enzymes

88
Q

What is the pH of gastric mucus and why is this important?

A

Neutral- this is important because it protects the wall against gastric acid erosion and pepsin digestion.

89
Q

What does gastric mucus contain which helps to neutralise HCl?

A

Bicarbonate
