35
Q

Intrinsic factor?

A
  • Secreted by parietal cells
  • 2nd line defense vitamin B12
  • Helps prevent b12 being digested by proteases
  • as gastric juices mixing, b12 exposed to IF and binds to site where pancretic proteases normally attack
  • TC1 protects b12 in stomach, IF helps during digestion
36
Q

  • located in narrow region of antrum
  • increase HCl
  • stimulates motility
41
Q

A

Histamine

48
Q

What is on lumen side of parietal cell?

A
  • Tubulovesicles
    • when not stimulated to secrete, vesicles fold inwards
    • once stimulated, the vesicles come out and increase SA for secretion tremendously
    • H-K ATPase pump on membrane

H/K ATPase pump

50
Q

What 3 things control stimulation of acid secretion at parietal cell?

    • act directly on parietal cell or
    • indirectly through ECL cell
  • Ach (PSNS)
    • vagal stimulation
    • ACh can act directly on muscarinic receptor on parietal cell
    • indirectly by stimulating ECL to stimulate histamine
      *
51
Q

How do we make HCl acid?

A
  • First, CO2 in cell. CO2 metabolism H + HCO3
  • Then Sends H outside the cell and bring K in
    • forcing H out into lumen against 10^6 gradient!
    • need ATP, highly metabolic
    • brings K into cell (also against gradient)
      • K also leaks outside into lumen via separate channel
  • Cl- leaks out into pariteal cell to establish electrochemical gradient created by excess H in lumen
  • HCO3 from breakdown of CO2
    • Secreted by HCO3-Cl antiport pump
    • Hco3 into blood
    • Cl into parietal cell
    • Blood coming out of stomach will be very alkaline (pH a little higher than normal)
52
Q

What does gastric fluid ion concentration look like at low rate of secretion? High rate?

A
  • At low rate, mostly Na and Cl in lumen. Very little H or K in gastric lumen
  • At high rate, [H] increase significantly. Highest with [Cl]
53
Q

What electolyte loss happens with vomiting over days?

A

Hypokalemia (both from gastric secretions and saliva)

Can have metabolic alkalosis

54
Q

What is helicobacter pylori?

A
  • Gram (-) bacteria, enters body through fecal-oral transmission
  • once ingested, can get into mucus layer, infiltrate and make ureases that combine with CO2 and make ammonia
    • this neutralizes the acid and protects the h. pylori
  • This urease creates cytotoxic response
    • inflames cell
    • disrupts bicarb layer
  • If h.pylori bloom, can disrupt mucus layer and cause chronic infammation of tissue–> ulcer
  • Main cause of non-nsaid related gastric/duodenal
55
Q

How do NSAIDs cause ulcers?

A
  • NSAIDS are prostaglandin inhibitors
    • prostaglandins are cytoprotective to stomach
      • normally increase mucus production and reduce histamine secretion
  • Make helicobacter worse as well
56
Q

What things stimulate gastric acid secretion?

A

Parasympathetic, ACh (vagus)

Gastrin

Histamine

57
Q

What inhiibts gastric acid secretion?

A
  • Secretin-
    • g-cell to decrease gastrin
  • Somatostatin-
    • released form endocrine cells in gastric glands, act in paracrine manner (acts locally) through ECL
  • Peptide YY-
    • As chyme goes to jejunum, peptid YY secreted to decrease action in gastric.
  • Prostaglandin
    • local- acts on pareital cell to decrease histamine
58
Q

What gets trapped in gastric mucus layer to neutralize acid?

A

HCO3

59
Q

What is neural control of acid secretion?

A
  • Cephalic phase via vagus
    • PSNS excites pepsin and acid production
      • as soon as last of chyme drips into duodenum, vagus nerve stops, G-cells in antrum stop gastin secretion into blood
  • Gastric phase
    • local nervous secretory reflexes
    • vagus reflexes
    • gastrin stimulation
  • Intestinal phase
    • nervous mechanism (enteric)
    • hormonal mechanisms
60
Q

What is located on small intestine lining?

A

Brush border villus cells

cypts of lieberkuhn

61
Q

What is the brush border villus cell?

A
  • Lining of all of small intestine in upper portion (crypts in lower) (abundant)
  • Site of absorption
    • high nutrient transport
    • low permeability?
  • “Wedge” in glycocalyx in brush border cells
  • provides final digestion of carb/protein
    • not possible if brush border lining disrupted
    • extremely important that brush border is intact
62
Q

What are cypts of lieberkuhn?

A
  • Where secretions happen
  • A lot of mucus, electolytes secreted out of crypts to help get pH up in stomach
    • have CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) which secretes Cl into lumen of gut, Na and H2O to follow
      • names CFTR becaues these are also located in pancreas/lung of CF patient and don’t work
      • get very thick mucus without serous production
63
Q

What are duodenal hormones released?

A
  • Gastrin
  • Secretin
  • Cholecystokinin
  • Glucose insulinotropic peptide (GIP)
64
Q

What does gastin do in small intestine?

A
  • Released in response to stretch
  • secrete HCl at parietal cells
  • increase motility in lower GiI
  • part of gastrocolic reflex
    • presence of PNS and gastrin coming out causing mass movement of colon
65
Q

What is secretin’s role in duodenum?

A
  • Secreted in blood in response to low pH
  • responds to acid in chyme coming out
  • goes to increase pancreatic and intestinal buffers
    • important buffer acidic chyme
  • as chyme comes out of pyloric sphincter, getting spurts of juices coming out of common bile duct (strong hco3 buffers) in order to decrease acidity
    • out of stomahc 2–>4–> 7 by jejenum
  • necessary to get pH up of chyme
66
Q

What is cholecystokinin role in duodenum?

A
  • Increases pancreatic enzyme
    • need for digestion of carb/lipid/protein coming down in chyme
      • rule of thumb- digestion in upper GI tract handle 25-30% digestion. Pancreatic enzymes are 75%
  • gallbladder contraction
  • increase bile production in liver
67
Q

What is GIP role in duodenum?

A
  • Increases insulin at pancrease
    • secreted into blood
  • Squirts of chyme into duodenum, hormones are all stimulate, GIP goes to blood (very early) and sitmulate insulin production. SO that when glucose comes into blood, very soon we have insulin available
    • anticipatory response
    • when glucose does come into cell, going to stimulate even more insulin
68
Q

Pancreatic acini secrete ___and ___

A

enzymes and buffers

69
Q

What duodenal secretion stimulates pancreatic acini to secrete enzymes? buffers?

A

CCK- enzymes

Secretin- buffers/electolytes

70
Q

A
  • Chymotrypsinogen
  • Pro-carboxypeptidase
  • Pre-co-lipase
73
Q

Why do we want typsin only activated in duodenum?

A

Typsinogen can sponatenously activate to trypsin in pancreas and cause auto-digestion of pancrease–> pancreatitis

  • Under normal circumstances, have trypsin inhibitor in pancrease so cells won’t get chewed up
    • aka monitor peptide
74
Q

Pancreatic lipase?

A

Active in cell but needs pre-co-lipase

75
Q

Pancreatic amylase?

A

Starch digestion. Activated by Cl

76
Q

A

Oligopeptides

77
Q

When chyme is lower in GI tract, pancreatic secretions ____

A

cease.

No vagal stimulation (no food/chyme in upper GI tract)

More local action, getting everything moving down the tract

78
Q

Secretion of H and HCO3 into lumen in ileum helps reclaim ___,____ and ___ back into ECF

A

sodium, chlorid and water back into ECF!

79
Q

What is the “hamster wheel” in lumen of ileum?

A
  • In ileum and jejunum, secreiton of H and HCO3 allows absorption of Na and Cl from lumen (H/Na, and CL/HCO3)
  • H and HCO3 that was just excreted forms to make H2O and CO2 in lumen
    • H2O and CO2 absorbed by cell!
    • then dissociates into H and HCO3 again and is used AGAIN to absorb more Na and Cl!
  • aka hamster wheel…
80
Q

Electrolyte movment in lumen of colon?

A
  • Colon is speicalized for storage, slow movmeent and reclamation of Na and H2O out of cyme to make feces
    • Aldosterone sensitive Na/K ATP-ase pump on ECF lumen
    • ENaC- epithelium Na channel to get Na into ECF (brings H2O with it)
    • Cl come sin via HCO3/Cl exchanger
      • HCO3 stays in feces because it’s so distal
    • K intralumen goes way up because of Na/K pump
      • leaks into lumen and excreted in feces
  • Only thing left in lumen is HCO3 and K (under normal circumstances)
    • excreted in feces
