GI 5 Flashcards
3 categories of pancreatic secretions
Endocrine
Digestive enzymes
Bicarbonate
Where do pancreatic and liver secretions enter
At beginning of small intestine through sphincter of oddi
What is 2 epithelium that pancreas contains
- Endocrine secretory epithelium (islets)
- Exocrine secretory epithelium
What do endocrine secretory epithelium secrete
Insulin and glucagon
What do exocrine secretly epithelium secrete
Digestive enzymes and NaHCO3
What is the stimuli for exocrine secretory epithelium
Distension of small intestine, neural signals, CCK
What is exocrine portion of pancreas form
Grape like clusters: acini
What do acinar cells secrete
Digestive enzymes
What do duct cells secrete
NaHCO3 that enters digestive tract
what are many pancreatic digestive enzymes released as
Zymogens (inactive form of enzyme)
- some secreted in active form
What is trypsinogen converted to and by
Trypsin by enteropeptidase (brush border enzyme)
Once trypsin converted what does it do
Activates all other zymogens
What does bicarbonate produced in duct cells do
Neutralizes acid entering from stomach
- this why pancreas start at beginning of sm. Int.
What do duct cells have high levels of
Carbonic anhydrase
What transporters does apical membrane of pancreas have
HCO3-/Cl- exchanger and CFTR channel
What transporters does basolateral membrane of pancreas have
NKCC2, N/K ATPase, K+, Na/H exchanger
Bicarbonate secretion process
- Cl enters cells and leaves apical side through CFTR
- Cl then renter cell in exchange for HCO3
- Leaky junction allow movement of ions and water
- Negative ions in lumen attract Na, water follows
What is largest internal organ
Liver
Where is liver
Lies under diaphragm toward right side of body
6 roles of liver
- glucose and fat metabolism
- protein synthesis
- hormone synthesis
- urea production
- detoxification
- storage
Inputs into liver
Hepatic portal vein and hepatic artery
Outputs of liver
Bile duct and hepatic vein
Where does bile duct secrete into
Duodenum
Common hepatic duct
Takes bile to gallbladder for storage
Gallbladder
Storage reservoir for liver secretions related to digestion (bile)
Common bile duct
Takes bile from gallbladder to lumen of sm int
Hepatic artery
Brings oxygenated blood containing metabolites from peripheral tissues to liver
Hepatic portal vein
Blood rich in absorbed nutrients from digestive tract brought to liver
sphincter of oddi
Controls release of bile and pancreatic secretions into duodenum
What dos liver secrete
Bile
Bile
Non-enzymatic solution secreted from hepatocytes
3 main components of bile
- bile salts (bile acid/amino acid)
- bile pigments (bilirubin)
- cholesterol
What is excreted in bile
Xenobiotics and drugs
