Q

pancreas exocrine function

A
  • produces secretions into gut
  • source for most digestive enzymes (carbohydrates, protein, fat, NAs)
  • enzymes produced in excess
  • pancreatic function must be above 10% (digestive/absorption issues bellow that)
  • secretion of HCO3- to neutralize stomach acid (needed for enzyme function)

Q

lipases

A

-digest triglycerides into free fatty acids and monoglycerides

24
Q

nucleases

A

-digest NAs into free nucleotides

25
Q

acinar cells produce

A

pro-enzymes into zymogen granules (vesicles) stored on apical side

26
Q

acinar cells secretion into duct modulated by

A

-neurohormonal input

27
Q

trypsinogen is secreted by

A

pancreas

28
Q

trypsinogen—-> trypsin by

A

-membrane bound enterokinase in duodenum

29
Q

trypsin is a protease and also activates

A

other proteases

30
Q

In cystic fibrosis

A

Cl-/HCO3-exchanger is mutated

31
Q

cystic fibrosis patients suffer

A

-pancreatic insufficiency

enzymes still produced by HCO3-/H2O minimal and enzymes cause pancreatic autodigestion

32
Q

cystic fibrosis treatments

A

digestive enzymes +antacids

33
Q

proteases by pancreas (inactive enzyme) and end-products

A
  • trypsinogen
  • chymotrypsinogen
