Q

What are the actions of gastrin

A

Parietal cells: Bind to CCK2 receptors; increase intracellular calcium; then pump out H+ and in K+
Chief cells: Binds to CCK2, increases Ca release; leads to vesiclues of pepsinogen excocytosis- activated by H+ in the lumen

Q

How does the mixing/emptying function of the stomach work

A

Pacemaker cells in the body stimulate contraction from body to antrum becoming more intense.
In pylorus have three regions that lead to the mixing effect as only the middle with pulpose through where the distal will contract the pylorus to close.
