Hormones Flashcards
Parietal cells secrete
Gastric acid
Intrinsic factor
Function of gastric acid
Decrease stomach acid
Activates pepsinogen to pepsin
Kills microorganisms except H. pylori
Role of IF
Binds to vitamin B12
Enables absorption in terminal ileum
Stimulation of Gastric acid and IF
Vague nerve
Gastrin
Histamine
Inhibition of gastric acid and IF
GIP
Prostaglandins
Secretion
Somatostatin
Pepsin cell type secretion
Gastric chief cell
Role of pepsin
Protein digestion
Stimulation of pepsin
Vagus nerve
Low gastric pH
Inhibition of pepsin
High gastric pH
Somatostatin
Bicarbonate cell secretion
Mucosal cells (salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, duodenum)
Brunner glands
Stimulation of bicarbonate
Secretin
Cell type for gastrin
G cells (antrum of stomach, duodenum)
Function of gastrin
Increase gastric acid secretion
Increase gastric motility
Proliferation of gastric mucosa
Stimulation of gastrin
Vague nerve (via gastrin-releasing peptide and GRP released from presynaptic terminals of postganglionic fibers)
Aminoacids and peptides
Decreased acidity
Distension of stomach
Chronic PPI administration
Inhibition of gastrin
Somatostatin
Gastric pH < 1.5
Ghrelin cell type
P/D1 cells
Function of ghrelin
Increases appetite
Stimulates neuropeptide Y and growth hormone
Increases gastric motility
Histamine cell type
Enterochromaffin-like cells
Role of histamine
Increased gastric acid secretion
Stimulation of histamine
Gastrin
