Gastric secretion Flashcards
What is secreted in the body of the stomach
Mucous
HCL
Pepsinogen
Intrinsic factor
What secretes Mucous in the stomach
Foveolar cells, found in the necks of the gastric pits (Mucous neck cells)
Mucus-secreting cells are the most abundant cell type in the stomach, giving indications of how important mucus is to the functioning stomach.
What cell secretes HCL
Parietal cells
What cell secretes pepsinogen
Chief cells
What cell secretes intrinsic factor
Parietal cells
What cell secretes Gastrin
G cells
What cells lie in the gastric pit
Surface mucous cells
What cells lie in the Gastric gland
Mucous necks cells
Parietal cells
Chief cells
What is the pH of the stomach
2
What is the pH of blood
7.4
How is HCL made in the stomach
Process involving carbonic anhydrase and carbonic acid
What pumps H ions out of the apical membrane of the gut cells
A hydrogen/potassium pump (uses lots of ATP)
How does bicarbonate exit the enterocyte
Through the baso-lateral membrane via a HCo3 / Chlorine pump.
What happens when Hco3 is dumped in blood after meal
Post prandial alkalosis
What controls the amount of HCL created by parietal cells (x4)
Gastrin
Histamine
Acetylcholine
Prostaglandins
What organs secrete gastrin
Stomach (antrum)
Pancreas
Duodenum
What increases the amount of gastrin secretion
peptides, amino acids and gastric distension
vagal stimulation by gastrin releasing peptide
epinephrine and calcium
What does gastrin act on?
CCKB gastrin receptors on the basolateral membrane of parietal cells
