Lopez: Pancreas Flashcards
head of pancreas lies where
in curve of duodenum
where does the tail of pancreas lie
by the spleen
neck of pancreas lies anterior to what
superior mesenteric a. and v.
this artery run on top of pancreas
splenic a.
what triggers the sphincter of Oddi (hepatopancreatic)
food
regulates flow of hepatic and pancreatic juices into duodenum
sphincter of Oddi
small opening in small intestine where the pancreatic and bile ducts meet and release their secretions (can be obstructed by gall stone here)
ampulla of vater
what cells of pancreas secretes HCO3 to neutralize stomach acid
ductal cells
order of smallest duct of pancreas to pancreatic duct
intercalated duct
intralobular duct
interlobular duct
pancreatic duct
cluster of acinar cells
pancreatic acinus
what secretes pancreatic enzymes to the pancreatic duct
pancreatic acinus
what epithelium makes up intercalated duct
simple cuboidal epithelium
alpha and beta cells of pancreas help make up what
Islet of Langerhans
alpha cells produce
glucagon
beta cells produce
insulin
acinar cells (thymogen granules)
ductal cell (mitochondria seen)
breaks down starch in saliva
amylase
pancreatic enzyme that continues digestion of starches
amylase
aids in protein digestion in the stomach
pepsin in presence of HCl
pancreatic enzymes that help further protein digestion
protease
trypsin
chymotrypsin
enzyme in the oral cavity, in the stomach, and pancreas that aids in fat digestion
lipase
where CCK is produced
from I cells in duodenum
CCK stimulates what cells to secrete pancreatic enzymes
pancreatic acinar cells
___ stimulates gallbladder to contract and release bile
CCK
stimulates pancreatic enzymes
CCK
____ stimulates stomach to produce acid and increases motility
gastrin
stimulates pancreas to secrete HCO3- and water to neutralize chyme
secretin
released from adipose tissue and controls hunger
leptin
important during fasting and breaks down glycogen to release glucose into blood
glucagon
regulates absorption of glucose from the blood into tissues
insulin
