GI/Pancreas/Hepatic Flashcards
What do parietal cells do
make and secrete H+ ions
What regulates gastric acid secretion
ACh and histamine
What catalyzes conversion of CO2 to carbonic acid
carbonic anhydrase
What are the two plexuses in the GI tract
myenteric and submucosal –> parasympathetic to the GIT
What is intrinsic factor
needed for cobalamin absorption in the ileum
Where is conjugated bile acid absorbed in the GIT
actively absorbed in the ileum
What stimulated gastrin secretion
stretch, vagal stimulation, peptides in the stomach
What is final product of carbohydrate metabolism
glucose
What transport protein binds free iron in the small intestine
Apotransferrin
What is the function of secretin
stimulated HCO3 production
Where is HCO3 exchanges with Cl for
in the small intestines
What stimulated pancreatic secretions
Ach, CCK, and secretin
what is the primary constituent of chylomicrons
TG
What prevents fat from reassembling in the small intestines
micelles
What causes fatty acid release
hormone sensitive lipase
glucagon activate adipose tissue –> increased FA
Also inhibits TG storage in the liver –> preventing liver from removing FA from the blood
What is erythromycin
motilin agonist
What causes lipemia after a fast
VLDL
which routes of administration undergo first pass metabolism
oral and rectal
What does elevated bile acids differentiate from
PLE vs. liver disease
what is the treatment for hyperlipidemia
gemfibrozil
what causes proteinuria in min. sch. with high TG
glomerular fat lesions
What is the treatment for pancreatitis
supportive care IV
what is seen on labwork with EPI
B12 - normal or low (worse prognosis if low)
folate - normal to elevated
TLI - low
PLI - normal to low
what does the gastrocolic reflex cause
motility
What vitamin is synthesized in the body
vitamin D
Which organ converts lactic acid to glucose
liver via lactate dehydrogenase
How and where does secretin work?
secreted by the duodenum and jejunum
Secretes HCO3
How does Cholecystokinin work
released from duodenum and jejunum (I cells) secondary to food/fat –> release pancreatic enzymes and bile
Gastrin
G-cells - antrum
H+ secretion from parietal cells & growth of gastric mucosa
CCK
I-cells duodenum/jejunum
GB contraction, secretion of pancreatic enzymes, secretion of HCO3, growth of exocrine pancreas/GB, inhibits gastric emptying
Secretin
S-cells duodenum
Secretes HCO3 in response to H+ and FA in the lumen. Inhibits gastrin, gastric acid production, and motility
Gastric Inhibitory Peptide (GIP)
K-cells duodenum/jejunum
Secretes insulin (beta cells) and inhibits H+ secretion in stomach/emptying
Motilin
M-cells proximal duodenum
Between meals - initiates and coordinates migrating motility complexes (MMC) to increase GI motility and helps to clear stomach
After meal - coordinates gastric, pancreatic, and biliary secretions
Ghrelin
Gastric cells
Appetite stimulus (entyce ghrelin antagonist)
Leptin
Fat cells
Decrease appetite
