Nervous and Endocrine Control Flashcards
GIT Sympathetic nervous control
Effects and Mediators
- Decrease motility (NE)
- Decrease secretions (NE)
- Constriction of sphincters (NE)
GIT Parasympathetic control
Effects and Mediators
- Increase motility and secretions (ACh)
- Relaxation of sphincters (VIP through NO)
- Increase gastrin secretion (GRP by stimulating G cells)
Gastrin
Source
G cells of stomach antrum and duodenum
Somatostatin
Source
D cells of pancreatic islets and GI mucosa
Cholecystokinin (CCK)
Source
I cells of duodenum and jejunum
Secretin
Source
S cells of duodenum
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP)
Source
K cells of duodenum and jejunum
Motilin
Source
Small intestine
Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)
Source
Parasympathetic ganglia in sphincters, gallbladder and small intestine
Ghrelin

Stomach
Gastrin
Stimulants
- Increased by stomach distention/alkalinization, amino acids, peptides and vagal stimulation via gastrin releasing peptide (GRP)
- Decreased by pH < 1.5
Somatostatin
Stimulants
- Increased by acid
- Decreased by vagal stimulation
Cholecystokinin (CCK)
Stimulants
Increased by fatty acids and amino acids
Secretin
Stimulants
Increased by acid and fatty acids in duodenal lumen
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP)
Stimulants
Increased by fatty acids, amino acids and oral glucose
