GI 4 Flashcards
What is the flow of bile from the liver to the duodenum?
Bile duct -> common hepatic duct -> cystic duct -> common bile duct -> sphincter of Oddi -> duodenum
How much of the pancreas is exocrine?
90%
_____ cells of pancreas synthesize and secrete hydrolases for digestion
–Acinar cells
____ cells of pancreas secrete bicarbonate and water
Duct cells
____ cells of pancreas are involved in Luminal digestion of carbohydrate, protein, fat.
–Impaired function causes maldigestion and
malabsorption.
Acinar cells of pancreas
_____ cells of pancreas are involved in neutralizing gastric H+ :secretes HCO3- into duodenum up to 145 mEq/L
Duct cells of pancreas
Proteolytic enzymes synthesized, stored and secreted as _______
inactive precursors.
Why Doesn’t the Pancreas Digest Itself?
Proteolytic enzymes synthesized, stored and secreted as inactive precursors.
Where are the inactive precursors activated?
In intestinal lumen
____ is synthesized, stored, and secreted with the precursors to make sure the inactive precursors don’t get activated prematurely in pancreas
Trypsin inhibitor
_______:
Blocked bile ducts lead to enzyme overrun of trypsin inhibitors that lead to active enzymes in pancreas beginning to digest it
Acute pancreatitis
What are the 2 stimuli for acinar cell enzyme secretion?
- CCK
2. ACh/GRP (vagovagal reflex)
What are the 2 indirect paths of CCK production?
Monitor peptide and CCK-RP
______ is involved in the following:
- Gallbladder contraction
- Acinar secretion of pancreas
- Stimulates receptive relaxation, reduces emptying, and reduces HCl secretion of stomach
- Relaxes sphincter of Oddi
- Protein, carb, lipid absorption and digestion
- Matching of nutrient delivery to digestive and absorptive capacity
CCK
What are the Two Stimuli for Ductal Cell Secretion of H2O and HCO3-?
- *Secretin (Secretin receptor)
2. Ach (M3 receptor)
Secretin released when pH < ____
4.5.
_____ is released when pH < 4.5.
Secretin
Below pH = ___, secretin release is maximal in segment of duodenum. Further release of secretin depends upon area of small intestine affected.
3,
What 2 phases are mediated by vagovagal reflex - low volume, high enzyme secretion (Ach/GRP)?
Cephalic and Gastric
At Low secretion rates of pancreatic juice -
bicarbonate concentration is ____
chloride concentration is ____
low; high
At High secretion rates of pancreatic juice -bicarbonate concentration is ____
chloride concentration is ____
high; low
What 2 ions remain constant at all flow rates in pancreas?
Na and K
What is the tonicity of pancreatic juice?
Isotonic
The secretion rate of the pancreas is proportionate to what three things?
Secretin, Ach, and CCK
_____ is a disorder caused by a defective CFTR
CF
Abnormal sweat composition.
Decreased pulmonary and pancreatic secretion.
Mendelian autosomal recessive occurrence.
CF
Defective ____ seen in CF causes:
–Sweat Cl- reabsorption;
–Pancreatic duct cell function;
–Pulmonary mucus clearance.
CFTR
In _____ pancreatitis, –Trypsin activation causes pain, inflammation
Acute
In _____ pancreatitis, destroys acini
Chronic
What 2 things can cause duct obstruction?
Gallstones
Tumors
