GIT 3: SECRETORY FUNCTIONS Flashcards
intrinsic nervous system in response to: tactile stimulation, chemical irritation and distention
enteric nervous system
intrinsic nervous system
Meissner’s plexus
parasympathetic nerves
increases rate of glandular secretion
salivary glands, esophageal gastric glands, brunner’s glands in duodenum, pancreas
glossopharyngeal and vagal nerves
increases rate of glandular secretion
parasympathetic
pelvic nerves
distal colon
sympathetic
alone: slight increase in secretion
superimposed with parasympathetic or hormonal stimulation
vasoconstriction decrease secretion
sympathetic
primary control is by parasympathetic
controls submandib and sublingual glands
facial nerve
serous secretion (saliva)
ptyalin (alpha amylase) digests starches
mucus secretions (saliva)
mucin lubrication
acinar cells
pytalin mucin
cl channels
isotonic with plasma, slight alkaline
primary secretion of salivary
duct cells reabsorb Na, Cl and secrete K, and HCO3
hypotonic, alkaline
secondary secretion
saliva is hypotonic and slightly alkaline
at rest salivary secretion
isotonic and alkaline
stimulated salivary secretion
types of tubular glands
gastric/oxyntic glands
pyloric glands
oxyntic glands cells / gastric gland cells
mucous neck cells: mucus
parietal cells: HCL, intrinsic factor
peptic cells: pepsinogen
pyloric glands cells
g cells: gastrin
mucous cells: mucus
located at the parietal cell
essential for absorption of Vitamin B12 in ileum
secreted along with HCL
intrinsic factor
located within the parietal cells
secreted by gastric cells just before ingestion of a meal
increases appetite and food intake
ghrelin
secreted in response to acid, fat, protein breakdown products and hyper or hypo osmotic fluids or irritating factors in upper small intestine
inhibits gastric activity
enterogastrones
