Q

concentrtaions of K and Bicarb in saliva?

A

High- saliva is hypotonic to serum (because Na Cl go absorbed)

Q

Pyloric glands

A

G-cells- Gastrin

21
Q

Pepsinogen

A

becomes pepsin at pH<5 Protease

22
Q

Intrinsic factor

A

secreted by parietal cells

Required for B12 absorption

23
Q

Bicarbonate

A

produced by epithelial cells

24
Q

Mechanism of acid secretion by parietal cells

A

H+/K+ ATPase (proton pump) - Hydrogen is pumped into the lumen against and enormous gradient

K and Cl are cotransported to the lumen and K is recycled

Bicarbonate ions leave the cell

25
Q

Alkaline tide

A

Bicarbonate ions leave the cell and enter the blood raising the pH of the venous blood leaving the stomach

26
Q

What stimulates the release of pepsin from chief cells?

A
hitamine 
ACh
Gastrin 
Secretin
CCK
27
Q

what is the only gastric function required for life?

A

secretion of intrinsic factor by parietal cells

28
Q

Prostaglandin

A

increase mucosal blood flow as well as bicrob adn mucus secretion (stimulate cell repair and renewal)

29
Q

Parietal cell receptors

A
  1. Histamine
  2. Ach
  3. Gastrin
30
Q

ACh on parietal cell

A

From Vagus nerve

stimulates muscarinic receptors on parietal cell or on enterochromafin like cells

if on parietal cell: IP3 to Ca2+ causing release of HCl

If on enterochromafin like cell = release of histamine

31
Q

Histamine on parietal cell

A

released from enterochromaffin like cell (ECL) in mucusa. Diffuses into the parietal cells and stimulates H2 receptors (CAMP to HCl release)

32
Q

How do you block muscarinic receptors

A

Atropine

33
Q

How do you block H2 receptors

A

cimetidine

34
Q

Gastrin on parietal cells

A

released from G-cells in the stomach antrum and duodenum

stimulates the release of ACh or histamine

35
Q

Potentiation (histamine)

A

Histamine potentiates the effects of ACh and gastrin

36
Q

Cephalic phase of gastric acid secretion

A

sight or smell of food as well as chewing and swallowing causes vagal refelxes to parietal and G-cells (ACh and gastrin release to stimulate acid production)

37
Q

Gastric phase of gasrtic acid secretion

A

Gastric distention causes both local and vagovagal reflexes to parietal and G-cells (more ACh and gastrin release)

38
Q

Intestinal phase of gastric acid secretion

A

protein digestion products in the duodenum lead to stimulation of intestinal G cells and release of gastrin

39
Q

Somatostatin

A

released by D cells

Decrease gastrin release by G-cells

40
Q

Secretin

A

released by S cells when there is too much acid in the duodenum

inhibit gastrin release and inhibit secretion by parietal cells

41
Q

effect of CCK and Secretin on pepsinogen secretion

A

Stimulate chief cells to secrete pepsinogen but inhibit the release of acid

42
Q

Secretin and pancreatic secretion

A

aqueous pancreatic juices by causing fluid retention in the ducts

Bicarb and fluid

43
Q

CCK and pancreatic secretion

A

stimulates secretion rich in enzymes (Proteases, amylases, lipases)

44
Q

tonicity of aqueous component of pancreatic juices

A

isotonic

45
Q

What cannel is required for pumping bicarbonate into pancreatic juices?

A

Cl channel

Bicarb in the lumen attracts NaCl (water follows NaCl)

46
Q

What activates trypsinogen

A

enteropeptidase

47
Q

what activates Chymotrypsin

A

trypsin

48
Q

what activates carboxypeptidase?

A

trypsin
