NME 2.3 Flashcards
which two types of secretion are present in pancreatic juice?
- enzyme rich secretion from acinar cells
- aqueous alkaline secretion from ducts
what happens if the duct is ligated near the acinar?
- cause acinar cell degeneration
- secretion of alkaline components is unaffected
- secretion of enzymes is reduced
what are the 6 ions of pancreatic juice composition?
- sodium
- potassium
- bicarbonate
- magnesium
- calcium
- chloride
is pancreatic juice acidic or alkali and why?
alkali because of high content of bicarbonate
function of pancreatic juice?
- protects intestinal mucosa from excess acid
- provide a alkali environment for fat absorption through micelles
- provide alkali environment for pancreatic enzymes
what does the pancreatic acini produce?
- NaCl secretion
- isotonic solution
what does the pancreatic duct produce?
- secrete large volume of fluid
- bicarbonate secretion
- water permeable so water follow anions
describe pancreatic secretion in acini?
- sodium is pumped out of cell by sodium potassium ATPase
- potassium will leak out of cell
- makes cell have high concentration of chloride
- chloride flow into the duct down concentration gradient
which three things will increase calcium and activate protein kinases?
- M3
- ACh
- CCK
difference between ducts in saliva and pancreas?
- pancreatic duct water permeable while salivary duct are water impermeable
describe pancreatic secretion in ducts?
- sodium allows movement of bicarbonate through same channel
- carbonic anhydrase combined carbon dioxide with water to form carbonic acid
- carbonic acid dissociates H+ ions and form bicarbonate
- H+ will be taken up the blood
- more CFTR active will cause more bicarbonate is produced
what two things stimulate CFTR channel?
- ACh
- secretin
how does ACh stimulate CFTR channel?
stimulate calcium release
how does secretin stimulate CFTR channel?
increase the cAMP
what is amylolytic?
- carbohydrate digestion
- examples: amylase
