members - Gastrin, CCK receptors: CCKa and CCKb receptor CCKa receptor - pancreatic acinar cells - for CCK only CCKb receptor - brain and stomach - for gastrin and CCK both CCK receptor activation - increase intracellular calcium in target cells CCK and gastrin - homologous carboxyl terminal Gastrin stronger agonist for CCKb receptor

47
Q

paracrine signals of GI

A
  1. histamine 2. somatostatin 3. prostaglandins 4. serotonin 5, adenosine
48
Q

histamine - function

A

increase gastric acid secretion via H2 receptor released from mast cell and enterochromaffin-like cell (ECL cells) stimulate intestinal chloride secretion

49
Q

somatostatin - function

A

released from D cell in the pancrease and GI mucosa inhibit release gastrin and secretin and etc inhibit acid secretion from gastric parietal cells directly, motility, other absorptive processes

50
Q

prostaglandin - function

A

stimulate bicarbonate secretion by gastric surface epithelial cells -> protect the gastric barrier function

51
Q

serotonin (5-HT)

A

released from enteric neurons, enterochromaffin cells activate sensory neurons (transmission of discomfort/pain) initiate peristaltic and secretory reflexes irritable bowel syndrome - drug targeting 5-HT is used

52
Q

adenosin

A

released in response to inflammation and etc. via several A-receptor subtypes on neuronal and non-neuronal cells modulate sensory transmission in the gut -> change in blood flow, modulation of motility reflexes and colonic chloride secretion

53
Q

Mastication

A

increase surf area for digestive enz contact grind food to fine particle - protect mucosal surface and make smooth food movement through GI Cranial nerve V - voluntary and involuntary control chewing reflex programmed pattern of movement

54
Q

saliva functions (6 of them)

A
  1. maintenance of oral hygiene - lysozyme, peroxidases, etc. 2. maintain mineralization of teeth (pH) 3. lubrication - speaking and swallowing - mucin 4. digestive function - amylase and lipase 5. solvation - enables taste 6. lytic - hypotonic fluid causes cell lysis (can be protective)

  1. alpha-amylase (ptyalin) 2. lipase 3. kallikrein
57
Q

alpha-amylase (function, source, gland)

A

function - starch digestion source - acinar cells gland - parotid and submandibular gland not essential, but can compensate for pancreatic insuffiency

58
Q

lipase (function, source, gland)

A

function - fat digestion source - acniar cells gland - sublingual gland not essential, but can compensate for pancreatic insuffiency

59
Q

kallikrein (function, source, gland)

A

function - blood flow regulation source - acinar cells (maybe also ducts) gland - parotid, submandibular, sublingual gland serine protease control the salivary blood flow cleave bradykininogen (alpha-2-globulin) to bradykinin, a strong vasodilator

60
Q

autonomic regulation of salivary secretion

A

stimuli - smell, sound, sight, taste, chewing inhibitors - sleep, fatigue, fear stimuli/inhibitor -> higher centers -> medullary salivatory nucleus -> sympathetic/parasympathetic -> salivary glands -> increase blood flow and secretion -> salivary flow GI sensory inputs -> medullary salivatory nucleus -> same as above irritating food, nauseated due to GI abnormality -> reflex from stomach and upper small intestine -> induce salivation sympathetic nerve - from superior cervical ganglia -> travel along the surface of b-vessel to salivary glands

61
Q

salivary secretion stimuli - taste and tactile stimuli

A

taste - sour taste increase the saliva secretion tactile - smooth object (pebble) increase the saliva, rough object less salivation

62
Q

control of salivary secretion paraysympathetic - pathway

A

acetylcholine (NT) -> muscarinic (M3) (receptor) -> signalling pathway (Ca2+) -> fluid > protein secretion (cellular response) substance P (NT) -> Tachykinin NK-1 (receptor) -> Ca2+ (signalling pathway) -> fluid > protein secretion (cellular response)

63
Q

control of salivary secretion sympathetic - pathway

A

norepinephrein (NT) -> alpha-adrenergic (receptor) -> Ca2+ (signalling pathway) -> fluid > protein secretion (cellular response) norepinenphrine (NT) -> beta-adrenergic (receptor) -> cAMP (signalling pathway) -> protein > fluid secretion

64
Q

stimulation of blood flow to salivary gland

A

salivary grand -high rate of metabolism and b-flow - proportional to rate of saliva formation things that increase blood flow to salivary glands 1. parasympathetic nerve -> increase b-flow to sal gland. 2. VIP and acetylcholine - vasodilatory 3. increase salivation -> increase kallikrein -> cleave bradykininogen (alpha-2-globulin) to bradykinin -> strong vasodilator, increase capillary permeability 4. sympathetic fiber -> initially reduce the b-vessel, but overridden by other vasodilators

65
Q

two stages of salivary secretion

A
  1. primary secretion - isotonic, ECF-like composition + proteins (enzymes, mucins) 2. secondary ductal modification - low H2O permeability of ducts, absorption of Na+ and Cl- greater than secretion of K+ and HCO3-, hypotonic saliva
66
Q

permeability of duct cells

A

low permeability to H2O
