Gastrointestinal Physiology Flashcards
Plexus controlling the motility of the GI smooth muscle
myenteric plexus
Auerbach’s plexus
Plexus controlling secretion and blood flow
submucosal plexus
Meissner’s plexus
Most potent amino acid stimuli for gastric secretion
phenylalanine
tryptophan
Where is gastrin released?
G cells in antrum
Where is CCK released?
I cells in duodenum and jejunum
What lipids stimulate secretion of CCK?
Not triglycerides (cannot cross intestinal cell membrane)
Where is secretin released?
S cells in duodenum
Only GI hormone that is released in response to fat, protein and carbohydrates
GIP
Slow waves are least frequent in
stomach
Slow waves are most frequent in
duodenum
Relaxes GI smooth muscle
VIP
Tonicity of saliva
hypotonic
Tonicity of pancreatic secretion
isotonic
Second messenger for secretin
cAMP
Second messenger for CCK
IP3 and Ca2+
Which lipid is not contained in micelles
glycerol
