Q

How is HCl formed in the gastric pit?

A

The Cl- within the cell (from exchange with bicarb) will follow the electrochemical gradient dictated but he movement of H+ across the apical membrane = HCl forming the gastric pit.

17
Q

What is the most potent and most important stimulator in the release of Pepsinogen?

A

ACh

18
Q

What, released in response to Duodenal Chemoreception of acid will also stimulate the chief cells to increase production and release of Pepsinogen?

A

Secretin

19
Q

In the acid environment of the stomach the released Vit B12, from proteins, binds to … which protects B12 from digestion.

A

Haptocorrin

20
Q

Once the B12-Haptocorrin complex reaches the Duodenum and the pH becomes more neutral the … digest away the Haptocorrin.

A

pancreatic proteases

21
Q

After the release of Vit B12 from Haptocorrin, and while in a more neutral pH the B12 will bind …, needed for its absorption.

A

Intrinsic Factor

22
Q

What secretes Intrinsic Factor?

A

Parietal Cells

23
Q

A Vit. B12 deficiency produces …

A

Pernicious Anemia

24
Q

What is Pernicious Anemia usually associated with?

A

Achlorhydria, and/or lack of Parietal Cells

25
Q

What can mucus cells utilize to maintain a buffering barrier that is actually alkaline?

A

dead mucosal cells, and HCO3- from the Alkaline Tide produced by the Parietal Cells

26
Q

How does H. Pylori contribute to its own protection from acid and Pepsin?

A

By producing the enzyme Urease that converts Urea into Ammonia and Bicarb (promotes replication and growth)

27
Q

H. Pylori is the most common cause of what?

A

Peptic Ulcers
