GI 2 Flashcards
What structures of the stomach are anterior?
the cardia, fundus, body
What structures of the stomach are posterior
antrum (pyloric region), pyloric sphincer
What are the functional regions of the stomach
proximal (reservoir), distal (pump, grinder)
Structures that support the unique functions of the stomach
rugae and the oblique layer
What is the luminal secretion of the LES and the cardia
mucus and bicarb
What is the purposes of the LES and the cardia motility
Prevention of reflux, entry of food, regulation of belching (burping)
What do the fundus and the body of the stomach secrete?
H+, intrinsic factor, mucus, HCO3-, pepsinogens, lipases
What is the motility of the fundus and the body?
reservoir, tonic force during emptying
What do the antrum and the pylorus secrete?
mucus and HCO3-
What is the motility of the antrum and pylorus?
mixing, grinding, sieving, regulation of emptying
What are the different gastric secretions?
gastrin secretion, acid secretion, paracrine secretion, enzyme secretion (PAGE)
Acid is secreted by…
parietal cells in gastric glands
What is important about the tubulovesicular membrane (on a parietal cell)
it expresses H+,K+ pumps
What happens in parietal cell activation?
once the tubulovesicular membrane is activated, it will merge with the intracellular canaliculus (the fusion create a larger openning in the cell in which the H+/K+ pumps are found due to the fusion and it allows the cell to pump protons out-> the creation the HCl)
Acid secretion is stimulated by…
gastrin, ACh, histamine
Acid secretion is inhibited by…
prostaglandin E2 and somatostatin
What is motility?
the ability of the muscles of the digestive tract to contract
