26
What do G cells release and where are they located
Release gastrin Located in the pyloric antrum and duodenum
27
What is the release stimuli for gastrin
Anticipation of food, stomach distention, presence of proteins/peptides in stomach
28
What inhibits gastrin release
HCl, somatostatin, secretin and GIP
29
Gastrin stimulates ___pump activity of __ cells
H/K ATPase pump activity of parietal cells
30
Gastrin stimulates the release of ___ from ECL cells
Histamine
31
Histamine stimulates ___mediated insertion of H/K ATPase pumps into parietal cells
CAMP
32
What do D cells secrete and where are they located
Secrete somatostain and are located in the stomach, pancreas and hypothalamus
33
What is the release stimuli for somatostatins
Low pH, CCK
34
What is direct function of somatostatin
Inhibiting AC of parietal cells and antagonize stimulatory effect of histamine
35
What is the indirect effect of somatostatin
Inhibiting G cells, ECL cells, and parietal cells
36
Somatostatin is blocked by ___ stimulation during ___ and ___ phase
Vagal, cephalic and gastric
37
During __phase somatostatin release is stimulated by low __ ins to ACh and by __
Intestinal phase, pH, and CCK
38
Somatostatin inhibits ___secretion
Gastric acid
39
Somatostatin inhibits ___ and ___ cells
G cells and E cells
40
What do S cells secrete and where are they located
Secretin in the crypts of Lieberkuhn in duodenum
41
What is the release stimuli for secretin
Entry of fat and acid into duodenum
42
What is the function of secretin
1. PH regulation by promoting bicarbonate release 2. Reduce gastrin secretions by blocking G cells
43
What do I cells secrete and where are they located
Secrete CCK and are located in duodenal and jejunal mucosa and neurons in ileum and colon
44
What is the release stimuli for CCK
Presence of fatty acids, amino acids, and peptides in chyme entering duodenum
45
What inhibits CCK
Somatostatin
46
What is the function of CCK
1. Enzyme secretion from pancreas 2. Contraction of gallbladder to release bile 3. Activation of D cells- somatostatin
47
What do K cells secrete and where are they located
Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) in the duodenal and jejunal mucosa
48
What is the release stimuli for GIP
Presence of glucose and fatty acids in chyme entering duodenum
49

False only glucose in small intestines increase GIP
50
What is the function of GIP
1. Inhibit parietal cells 2. Increase insulin release
51
What do M cells secrete and where are they located
Motilin located in duodenal and jejunal mucosa
52
What is the release stimulus for motilin
Increasing pH in duodenum
53

57
What happens to gastric secretions during cephalic phase
1. PNS stimulation- ENS via ACh stimulates G cells and parietal cells 2. G cells secrete gastrin in blood 3. Gastrin finds CCK on parietal and chief cells
58
What are the pancreatic secretions like during cephalic phase
ENS via ACh stimulates Acinar and ductal cells
59
What happens to salivary glands during gastric phase
PNS stimulation
60
What happens to gastric secretions/motility during gastric phase
1. Stomach is distended which stimulates stretch receptors 2. Information transmitted through afferent fibers. G cells stimulated (more gastrin) and parietal cells stimulated (more HCl) 3. Low pH lumen is perceived by G cells and activates somatostatin 4. Histamine is produced by ECL cells and triggers HCl via H2 receptors
61
What are the pancreatic secretions during the gastric phase
ENS stimulates ductal and Acinar cells
62
What are the salivary glands doing during intestinal phase
Ceasing activity
63
What are the gastric secretions and motility like during intestinal phase
1. Duodenal distention, fat, protein trigger release of CCK which cause stomach to relax 2. CCK stimulates D cells releasing somatostatin
64
What happens to pancreatic cells during intestinal phase
ENS via ACh stimulates Acinar and ductal cells. CCK activates Acinar cells Secretin activates ductal cells
65
During the intestinal phase gastric secretions ___
Decrease
66
What is the neural and humoral control during intestinal phase
Neural: removal stimuli Humoral: somatostatin released and inhibits parietal and ECL cells
67
Somatostatin ___intracellular cAMP levels
Decreases
68
What is Gastrinoma/Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
Rare neuroendocrine tumor that is constantly secreting gastrin, uninhibited by somatostatin. Stimulates release of gastric acid
69
What are the results of gastrinoma
Parietal cell mass, acid secretion—> peptic ulcer Decrease bile acids and lipase activity lead to diarrhea, steatorrhea, and hypokalemia
70
What are some treatment options for gastrinoma
1. Blocking H/K pump to heal ulcers 2. Somatostatin to suppresses gastrin 3. Surgical resection of tumor
