Q

Leptin

Hint: secretion is proportional to the amount of fat stored

A

secreted from fat cells and decreasing appetite and increasing the energy expenditure.

24
Q

GIP action

A

inc. insulin secretion from pancreatic B cells

Dec. gastric H+ secretion

25
Q

Two types of gastric glands (secretory cells of stomach lining) and their location

A

Oxynic gland- orad

pyloric gland- caudad

26
Q

feeding center

A

Lateral Hypothalmic Area (LHA)

27
Q

GIP site of secretion

A

Duodenum and jejunum

28
Q

Sympathetic excitation –> NE release —> A —-> B production —-> Inc Ca2+ —-> Pylorus contraction.

A

A- a-1 receptor activation by NE

B- IP3 production –> intracellular Ca2+

29
Q

Types of parasym. postgang. fibers and the corresponding NTs:

A

cholinergic- ACh

Peptinergic- Y or VIP

30
Q

Gastrin site of secretion

A

G cells of stomach

31
Q

secretion of D cells and its function

A

(opxynic and pyloric gland) D cells secrete somatostatin that regulates HCL secretion

32
Q

pharynx
upper 1/3 of esophagus
external anal sphincter

33
Q

Causes contraction of smooth muscle in wall of GI tract and relaxation of sphincters

A

34
Q

The three neuromodulators that are secreted from the neurons of enteric nervous system and cause relaxation of smooth muscle

A

A

CN X- Vagus nerve: Upper GI tract

Pelvic n. : Lower GI tract

36
Q

power for acid secretion

and the flow of ions and water

tonic

constant tone w/o relaxation

44
Q

A

Enkephalines (opiates) and substance P

49
Q

Substance P

A

cosecreted with ACh by neurons of enteric nervous system and causes:

A

increases appetite

53
Q

Synthesized and secreted by intestinal L cells. Among its actions, like leptin and insulin, it decreases appetite

A
