Q

What does gastrin do?

A

Increases hydrogen ion secretion by gastric parietal cells which lowers stomach ph then activates pepsinogen secreted by chief cells

Q

What are the 5 functions of CCK

A
  1. Contraction of gallbladder
  2. Secretion of pancreatic enzymes
  3. Secretion of Bicarbonate from pancreaus
  4. Trophic effect on exocrine pancreas and gallbladder
  5. Inhibition of gastric emptying

Q

GIP is secreted by what kind of cells

A

K cells in the duodenal/jejunal mucosa

17
Q

GIP is in response to All three nutrients major effect is

A

Stimulation of insulin

It inhibits gastric H+ secretion in animals not humans

18
Q

True or False

Oral glucose greater effect than IV glucose due to oral stimulation of insulin and GIP

A

True

19
Q

Motilin is secreted when people are

A

Fasting

Member of gastrin-CCK family

20
Q

Motilin is secreted by

A

Upper duodenum

Clears the stomach and intestine for preparation of next meal

21
Q

Motilin stimulates

A

Enzyme production of stomach and pancreas

contraction of gall bladder

22
Q

Ghrelin is secreted by what

A

Stomach mucosa inbetween eating

23
Q

What does ghrelin do

A

Increases gastric acid, motility, emptying

May have role in regulating food intake

Increases feelings of hunger

24
Q

What does PP do?

A

Inhibits pancreatic secretion of bicarbonate and enzymes

Increase after a protein meal

25
Q

How PP decreased

A

Somatostatin and intravenous glucose

26
Q

GLP are secreted by

A

L cells in intestinal mucosa

27
Q

L cells are the

A

Most abundant peptide producing cells in GI tract

Unresponsive to plasma levels

28
Q

FLP increase liver

A

Glycogenolysis and gluconeogensis

29
Q

What has no effect on insulin secretion GLP-1 or 2

A

GLP2

30
Q

GLP-1 along with peptide YY do what to the stomach

A

Decrease acid, motility and emptying

INCREASES nutrient uptake

31
Q

Paracrines are produced by

A

GI endocrine cells and act locally

32
Q

What are the two paracrines

A

Somatostatin

Histamine

33
Q

Somatostatin is secreted by

A

D cells of astral cells in response to low ph

Inhibits secretion of GI hormones

Secreted also by B cells of pancreas

34
Q

Histamine is produced by

A

Enteroendocrine cells in GI mucosa especially in stomach near parietal cells

Work synergistically with gastrin
