Q

What cleaves pepsinogen to pepsin? How does the activity of pepsinogen change in response to lower/higher pHs?

A

HCl

Lower pH generally better and v.v.

28
Q

What is the function of pepsin?

A

What are the protective factors against HCl and pepsin? (2)

A

Bicarb

30
Q

What is the pH near the epithelial cell layer of the stomach? How?

A

High d/t bicarb and mucus secretions

31
Q

What is the neurocrine regulator of protective factor secretion? Paracrine? What does each do?

A 
Neurocrine = Ach (promotes mucus and bicarb secretion)
Paracrine = prostaglandins (ditto above, and suppress acid secretion)
32
Q

What are the roles of prostaglandins in the stomach?

A
  1. Mucus and bicarb secretion
  2. Suppression of HCl secretion
  3. Increased gastric flow
33
Q

What is gastritis?

A

Inflammation of the gastric lining

34
Q

What is the MOA of increased number of parietal cells causing acid-peptic disease?

A

Increase HCl secretion

35
Q

What is the MOA of high serum gastrin levels causing acid-peptic disease?

A

Increases acid secretion

36
Q

What is the MOA of a loss of acid-mediated negative feedback on gastrin secretion causing acid-peptic disease?

A

Increases acid secretion

37
Q

What is the MOA of Rapid gastric empyting causing acid-peptic disease?

A

Too fast = not enough time to buffer

38
Q

What is the MOA of H.Pylori infx causing acid-peptic disease?

A

Releases toxin and immune response

39
Q

What is the MOA of NSAID use causing acid-peptic disease?

A

Inhibits PGE2, causing H2 receptor to be uninhibited

40
Q

What are the degradation products of urea?

A

Bicarb

Ammonium ion

41
Q

What causes the damage seen in H.pylori infx?

A

Inflammatory response to the H.Pylori colonization

42
Q

What is the enzyme that NSAIDs inhibit that reduce prostaglandin synthesis?

A

COX1/2

43
Q

What is the MOA of H2 inhibitors?

A

Blocks histamine, thereby decreasing HCl secretion

44
Q

What is the MOA of pepto bismol (bismuth salts)?

A

Substitute for the mucus

45
Q

Where do the Histamine and PGE2 receptors on the parietal cell converge? What is the consequence of this?

A

On the G protein receptors

Have opposite effects (PGE2 inhibits)

46
Q

What are the histamine producing cells of the stomach? What neurotransmitters do these respond to?

A

ECL cells

Respond to ACh, and gastrin

47
Q

Gastrin and ACh have both indirect and direct effects on HCl release. How?

A

Direct = receptors on parietal cells

Indirect = receptors on ECL cells that produce histamine (which also increases HCl production)

48
Q

How do the gastric pits secrete acid to ensure that not all of the H+ ions secreted are buffered by the mucus/bicarb layer?

A

Contractile squirting into the lumen of the stomach

49
Q

What are the three key roles of PGE2 production?

A
  1. Mucus and bicarb secretion
  2. Suppression of HCl
  3. Increased gastric blood flow
50
Q

Why are PPIs chosen over H2 receptor antagonists?

A

Because PPIs regulate at the common pathway for all three ACh, H2, and Gastrin, thus hit three acid secreting receptors instead of just one

51
Q

What is the secretion that non-parietal cells secrete at a basal level? What happens to this as the secretory rate of the stomach increases?

A

Na-rich secretion, which decreases with increased stimulation of the stomach

52
Q

What are the four phases of acid secretions?

A
  1. Interdigestive phase
  2. Cephalic phase
  3. Gastric phase
  4. Intestinal phase
53
Q

What is the interdigestive phase of gastric acid secretion?

A

Between digesting times, low acid secretion

54
Q

What is the cephalic phase of gastric acid secretion?

A

This phase is activated by stimuli such as the sight or smell of food, which increases gastric acid secretion

55
Q

What is the gastric phase of acid secretion?

A

Vagal stimulation to increase acid in response to distension/protein products of the stomach

56
Q

What are the cells in the stomach that ensure that pH does not get too low? What chemical do they produce, and what is its effect?

A

D cells, which will secrete somatostatin to reduce gastric secretion

57
Q

What is the intestinal phase of acid secretion?

A

Presence of peptides in the duodenum increases acid secretion via the release of gastrin from G cells

58
Q

What cells in the duodenum sense the presence of protein? What do they secrete?

A

G cells– gastrin to increase the rate of acid secretion.

59
Q

What cells produce IF?

A

Parietal cells

60
Q

What cells produce the mucus lining of the stomach? Where in the stomach are these found?

A

Epithelial cells–everywhere

61
Q

What are the two key neurotransmitters that stimulate epithelial and neck cells to produce mucus and HCO3 in the stomach?

A

ACh and Prostaglandins

62
Q

A break in the protective mucosal lining of the lower esophagus, stomach, or duodenum = ?

A

Peptic ulcer

63
Q

What ulcer occurs with the greatest frequency?

A

Duodenal ulcers

64
Q

Peptic ulcer caused by illness, systemic trauma, neuronal injury, emotions = ?

A

65
Q

What is a stress ulcer associated with head trauma or brain surgery?

67
Q

What is Zollinger-Ellison syndrome?

A

gastrin-secreting tumor of the pancreas that stimulates the acid-secreting cells of the stomach (parietal cells) to maximal activity, with consequent gastrointestinal mucosal ulceration. ZES may occur sporadically or as part of an autosomal dominant familial syndrome called multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1)
