Q

Acetylcholine and gastrin involvement in formulation gastric acid

A

binds to their receptors and increases cytosolic calcium which stimulates protein kinases that stimulates acid creation done by H+/K+-ATPase.

Q

ECL is responsible for?

A

stimulation of releasing of histamine which activates adenylyl cyclase, increasing cAMP and activates protein kinase which then stimulates secretion of gastric acid by H+/K+-ATPase.
