Q

Which vagal pathway will Atropine inhibit?

A

-Direct, since its a mAchR antagonist. Indirect is done via GRP and gastrin signaling

21
Q

How is gastrin regulated?

Draw the schematic on the slide

A
  • Inhibited by somatostatin (when pH is low)

- activated by CN X release of GRP to activate G cell and CN X release of Ach to inhibit somatostatin

22
Q

What does potentiation mean and what are major examples?

A

-targeting a substance, is indirectly targeting other substances

  • if Cimetidine (H2 antagonist) blocks Histamine action, it also blocks Ach/and gastrin (and vice versa if stimulating)
  • if Atropine blocks Ach action, it also blocks histamine and gastrin (and vice versa if stimulating)
23
Q

A

Ok

24
Q

Draw the Gastric phase of gastric acid secretion

A

Ok

25
Q

26
Q

Draw the Intestine phase of gastric acid secretion

A

Ok

27
Q

Which gastric secretion phase does vagotomy abolish?

A

Cephalic

28
Q

What is required for pepsinogen secretion?

Be able to draw the pathway for pepsinogen release

A

low pH so it can be converted to pepsin

29
Q

What are the characteristics of pepsin?

pH ranges of activity?

A

-proteolytic, converts more pepsinogen to pepsin once present
-optimal pH is 1.8 - 3.5,
reversibly inactivated > 3.5 -5
irreversible inactivated >7-8

30
Q

What is the importance of Intrinsic factor?

What is IF deficiency associated with?

A
  • important for B12 absorption in the ileum

- achlorydria or reduced/absent parietal cells that make it

31
Q

Draw the pathway of B12 absorption

A

Ok

32
Q

What is pernicious anemia?

What are the common causes?

A

-not enough IF, thus not enough B12 for RBC maturation

atrophic gastritis (chronic inflammation of mucosa leading to loss of parietal cells)
Autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis (immune system attacks IF protein or gastric parietal cells)
33
Q

How does gastrectomy or gastric bypass disrupt B12 absorption?

A

-both mess up the stomach anatomy > lose cells that are critical to B12 absorption

34
Q

How is the gastric wall protected from acidic secretions?

A

-Gastric epithelium secretes HCO3- (from surface epithelial cells) and mucus (from mucous cells) to form protective barrier

35
Q

What substances damage the gastric wall?

A

acid, pepsin, NSAIDs, H. pylori, smoking, alcohol, bile, stress

36
Q

Zollinger Ellison syndrome
Cause
Clinical

A
  • increased gastrin usually due to gastrinoma (increased Hcl secretion, parietal cell mass), water and Na not reabsorbed = secretory diarrhea
  • ulcer as HCO3- buffer is overwhelmed with acid, malabsorption of lipids = steatorrhea
37
Q

What is a secretin stimulation test and what is it used for?

A
  • secretin inhibits gastrin
  • pt’s with gastrinoma have gastrin secreting tumors that don’t respond to secretin so gastrin levels are still elevated despite injection of secretin
38
Q

Peptic ulcer disease
Cause:
Clinical:

A
  • H. pylori and NSAIDs leading to mucosa damage and/or excessive H+ and pepsin
  • gastric and duodenal ulcers
39
Q

What is the role of H. Pylori in development of peptic ulcer disease?

A

Urease breaks down urea to NH3 + H+ > NH4+ = alkalanized gastric mucosa allowing H. pylori to colonize it = damage

40
Q

What is the difference between gastric and duodenal ulcers?

A

Gastric ulcer - in the stomach, likely due to mucosa damage
Characterized by: low H+ secretion since the cells that produce them are damaged, high Gastrin to try and stimulate H+ release

Duodenal ulcer: small intestine, likely due to increased H+ secretion causing damage

41
Q

What is the composition of pancreatic juice?

A

HCO3- for acid neutralization of stomach secretions

42
Q

How is the exocrine pancreas sympathetically innervated?

How is the exocrine pancreas pancreas parasympathetically innervated?

A

SNS: via celiac and superior mesenteric plexus > exocrine pancreas > inhibit secretion

PNS: Vagus > ENS > Exocrine pancreas > stimulate secretion

43
Q

What is the function of these parts in the exocrine pancreas
Acinar cells
Ductal cells

A
  • enzymatic secretion (active amylase and lipase, inactive protease and converted in duodenum)
  • secrete HCO3- aqueous solution to alkalinize the acinar secretions > pancreatic secretion is isotonic
44
Q

What is exchanged on the luminal (apical) and basolateral (blood) in the pancreatic ducts and what are the respective transporters?

Be able to draw the image on the slide

A

Luminal:
In (cell): Cl
Out (lumen/secreted): HCO3-
Transporter: HCO3/Cl exchanger, CTFR

Blood:
In (cell): Na
Out (blood/absorbed): H+
Transporter: Na/H transporter, Na/K ATPase (balancer)

45
Q

How does cystic fibrosis affect the pancreas?

A

CTFR channel that replenishes Cl in the lumen to exchange for HCO3- is mutated = no HCO3- secretion = acidic lumen = enzymes are activated there = pancreatitis

46
Q

What are the roles of …
CCK
Secretin

… on pancreatic secretion?

A
  • increases pancreatic enzyme release at the acinus

- increases HCO3- release from pancreas into duodenum

47
Q

How does Phe, Met, Trp, small peptides and FA stimulate pancreatic enzyme release?

Be able to draw this pathway

A

Phe, Met, Trp, small peptides and FA > I cells > CCK > acinar cells (via IP2) > enzyme release

*Acinar cell action potentiated by Ach

48
Q

How does H+ stimulate aqueous secretion of Na and HCO3- by the pancreas?

Be able to draw this pathway

A

H+ > S cells > secretin > ductal cells (via cAMP) > aqueous secretion

*ductal cell action potentiated by Ach, CCK
