General Surgery - GI Hormones & Physiology Flashcards
Define the products of the following cells:
Gastric parietal cells
HCl
Intrinsic Factor
Product of Chief Cells?
Pepsinogen
PEPpy Chief
Product of G Cells?
Gastrin
G cells are found in the antrum
G = Gastrin
Mucous Neck Cell Products?
Bicarbonate mucus
What is pepsin?
Proteolytic enzyme that hydrolyzes peptide bonds
What is Intrinsic Factor?
Protein secreted by parietal cells that combines with vitamin B12 and enables absorption in the terminal ileum
Name three receptors on the parietal cell that stimulates HCl release
Think HAG:
Histamine
Acetylcholine
Gastrin
What is the enterohepatic circulation?
Circulation of bile acids from the liver to the gut and back to the liver via the portal vein
Where are most of the bile acids absorbed?
Terminal Ileum
How many times is the entire bile acid pool circulated during a typical meal?
Twice
What are the stimulators of gallbladder emptying?
Cholecystokinin
vagal input
What are the inhibitors of gallbladder emptying?
Somatostatin
sympathetics (it’s impossible to flee and digest food at the same time!)
vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)
Source of cholecystokinin (CCK)?
duodenal mucosal cells
what stimulates release of cck?
fat
protein
amino acids
HCl
What inhibits release of CCK?
trypsin
chymotrypsin
Actions of CCK?
Empties gallbladder
opens ampulla of Vater
slows gastric emptying
stimulates pancreatic acinar cell growth & release of exocrine products
Source of secretin?
Duodenal cells
SPECIFICALLY: argyrophilic S cells
Whats stimuates release of secretin?
pH <4.5 (acidity)
fat in the duodenum
