Q

CFTR-mediated secretion of Cl- powers the secretion of

A

HCO3- via the Cl-/HCO3- antiporter on the luminal ductal cell of pancreas. This antiporter is coupled with CFTR.

Q

What digests monitor peptide and CCK-RP?

A

Trypsin

17
Q

What competes with monitor peptide and CCK-RP, for Trypsin-digestion?

A

Protein rich meal. In effect, dietary proteins free up CCK-RP and monitor peptide, which are now available to promote release of CCK from I-cells, so that CCK can stimulate release of digestive enzymes from pancreatic acinar cells for that meal. When you’re NOT eating, you don’t need CCK, and trypsin is free to digest CCK-RP and monitor peptide.

18
Q

Which does not promote intracellular Ca++ levels in pancreatic acinar cells? A. VIP B. GRP C. CCK D. GRP

A

A. VIP

19
Q

What hormone relaxes the Sphincter of Oddi?

A

CCK

20
Q

What hormone promotes contraction of gallbladder?

A

CCK

21
Q

What is the major constituent of bile?

A

Bile acid (65%)

22
Q

How are conjugated bile acids re-absorbe into enterohepatic circulation?

A

ASBT (apical Na+ dependent bile acide transporter) in terminal ileum

23
Q

If bile acid is conjugated, then

A

it cannot passively cross the intestinal epithelial lining

24
Q

What type of contraction occurs in the esophagus, pharynx, gastric antrum, small/large intestine?

A

Peristaltic

25
Q

What type of contraction occurs in small and large intestines

A

segmentation

26
Q

During peristaltic movement, which relaxes - orad or caudad?

A

Caudad is ahead of the bolus, so relaxes

27
Q

What promotes caudad relaxation during peristalsis?

A

VIP and NO

28
Q

What promotes orad contraction during peristalsis?

A

ACh and Substance P

29
Q

During fasting conditions, what hormone produces migrating motor complexes MMC?

A

motilin

30
Q

What secretes mucus and bicarb in small intestine?

A. Brunner glands

B. Lieberkuhn glands

C. Paneth cells

A

A. Brunner glands

31
Q

What gland secretes peptidases and carb digestors?

A

Lieberkuhn glands

32
Q

What cells reside at the bottom of villi and secrete antimicrobial peptides and enzymes?

A

Paneth cells
