GI 2 Flashcards
1
Q
Surface mucous cells
A
- protection
2
Q
Mucous neck cells
A
- protection
- replace cells in lumen after desquamation
3
Q
Parietal cells
A
- HCl and intrinsic factor
4
Q
Chief cells
A
- Pepsinogen and gastric lipase
5
Q
Endocrine cells
A
- Somatostatin and gastrin
6
Q
Mucus
A
- lubricates/protects gastric mucosa from decrease pH
7
Q
HCl
A
- digests food
- kills bacteria
- converts pepsinogens to pepsins
8
Q
Intrinsic factor
A
- only indispensable gastric secretion required for VitB12 absorption
- binds to B12 primarily in duodenum
9
Q
Pepsinogens
A
- cleaved to pepsins by the acidic environment
10
Q
Gastrin
A
- stimulates gastric motility and HCl secretion
- decreases gastric emptying
11
Q
Somatostatin
A
- inhibits HCl secretion
12
Q
Histamine
A
- stimulates HCl secretion
13
Q
R protein
A
- protects vitamin B12 from degradation
- high affinity for B12 in acidic environment
- cleaved by trypsin in duodenum and intrinsic factor takes over
14
Q
Gherlin
A
- hormone when fasting
- acts on hypothalamus to stimulate hunger
- opposes the satiety effects of leptin and peptide YY
15
Q
Enterochromaffin (ECL) cells
A
- release histamine
- stimulates HCl secretion
