Q

What does the osmolarity and ionic composition of saliva depend on? Why?

A
  • The rate of saliva secretion
  • if secretion rates are high, saliva composition approaches that of plasma because the ductal cells had little time to modify the isotonic saliva made by acinar cells

of swallowing centers

Q

Why pregnant women are more likely to throw up?

A

-Progesterone increases the transit time of food in the stomach, making emesis more likely

25
Q

Why is saliva secreted under low flow rates very hypotonic?

A

-The ductal cells have had more time to remove ions from the saliva

26
Q

Where are cells that secrete gastrin and somatostatin located in the stomach?

A
  • the pyloric antrum region

- for reddy, the distal half of the stomach

27
Q

What causes Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome?

A

-an abnormal increase in gastrin production

28
Q

Parietal cells secrete what?

A. Gastrin
B. Pepsinogen
C. Pepsinogen and lipase
D. Somatostatin
E. Acid and Intrinsic factor
A

E. Acid and Intrinsic Factor

29
Q

How do NSAIDs inhibit mucus synthesis?

A
  • They inhibit COX enzyme that is required for prostaglandin synthesis
  • Prostaglandins normally increase mucous production and inhibit acid secretion
30
Q

Describe Gastrin’s Effects on the CCK receptors. What is the end result?

A
  • Gastrin activates CCK-2 and blocks CCK-1

- when gastrin binds CCK-2 there is an increase in acid secretion

31
Q

How is HCl secreted by Gastric parietal cells?

A
  • First CO2 dissociates into proton and bicarb
  • proton is secreted into lumen via K/H-ATPase
  • Bicarb is secreted into blood via HCO3/Cl antiporter
  • Cl from cell diffuses into lumen via Cl channel
32
Q

Describe and contrast the pH of the blood draining from the stomach and duodenum.

A
  • pH of stomach veinous drainage is basic due to acid excretion
  • pH of duodenum is acidic due to acid neutralization
  • overall effect is pH’s cancel out
33
Q

What receptor does ACh bind to in the stomach? What is its effect?

A
  • M3 receptor

- Effect is an increase in H+ secretion

34
Q

What receptor does Histamine bind to in the stomach? What is its effect?

A
  • H2 receptor

- effect is an increase in H+ Secretion

35
Q

What two things normally decrease acid secretion? What G protein do they work through?

A
  • Somatostatin and prostaglandins

- Gi

36
Q

Which of the following decreases acid secretion?

A.  Alcohol
B.  NSAIDs
C.  Gastrin
D.  Histamine
E.  Somatostatin
F.  Acetylcholine
G.  Misoprostol (synthetic prostaglandin)
A

E. Somatostatin

AND

G. Misoprostol

37
Q

What are the 3 functions of gastric acid?

A
  1. denature proteins so that pepsin has easy access
  2. activate digestive enzymes
  3. kill bacteria
38
Q

Describe the cephalic phase of gastric acid secretion.

A
  • Stimulated by sight, smell, taste, chewing, swallowing, and hypoglycemia
  • These sensory afferents stimulate the vagus to stimulate gastrin release and thus acid secretion
  • responsible for 30% of total acid secretion
39
Q

What percentage of acid secretion occurs during the cephalic phase?

A

-30%

40
Q

Describe the gastric phase of gastric acid secretion.

A
  • Distention of the stomach leads to local ENS reflexes and the vagovagal reflex to release acetylcholine and stimulate gastrin production, respectively
  • this accounts for 50-60% of acid secretion
41
Q

What percentage of acid secretion occurs during the gastric phase?

A

-50-60%

42
Q

Describe the intestinal phase of gastric acid secretion.

A
  • Protein digestion products stimulate intestinal endocrine cells and intestinal G cells to activate parietal cells to secrete more acid
  • absorbed amino acids also directly stimulate parietal cells to secrete protons
  • responsible for 5-10% of acid secretion
43
Q

What percentage of acid secretion occurs during the intestinal phase?

A

-5-10%

44
Q

How does H. pylori cause stomach ulcers?

A
  • they break down urea to form ammonia
  • this neutralizes the HCl, allowing the bacteria to colonize the antral region
  • secretes factors to attract immune cells to induce inflammation leading to damaged mucosa and vasculature, leaking fluid and blood forming an ulcer
45
Q

Treatment for pernicious anemia is:

  1. Take multivitamin tablets
  2. Supplement intrinsic factor
  3. Take Vitamin B12 tablets
  4. Take Vitamin B12 intramuscularly
  5. Supplement Hapracorrin (R factor)
A
  1. Take vitamin B12 intramuscularly

Supplementing intrinsic factor is too expensive

46
Q

What is pernicious anemia?

A
  • a megaloblastic anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency
  • no intrinsic factor is produced, so eaten vitamin B12 cannot be absorbed
  • must be treated with intramucular B12 injections
47

What do M Cells secrete in the GI tract?

A

A

-Secretin

Q

What are some things that promote vomiting?

A
  • Dopamine
  • Serotonin
  • Ach
  • Substance P
  • Histamine

Q

What does a patient lose if they have profuse vomiting? Describe their plasma status after vomiting.

A
  • fluid, protons, Chloride, potassium

- Plasma status is hypovolemic, alkalemic, hypochloremic, and Hypokalemic

57

which of the following?

A. Hypokalemic, hypochloremic, metabolic alkalosis
