Q

The VAgus nerve stimulates the relesase of what two things?

Study These Flashcards
A

Acetycholine and Gastric relesase peptide

22
Q

What does Ach cause stimulation of?

inhibition of?

Study These Flashcards
A

Ach stimulates: Parital cells–> HCl and ECL cell –> histamine
Ach inhibits: D Cell–> somatostatin

23
Q

Gastric releasing peptide stimulates secreation of waht?

Study These Flashcards
A

G cell (antrum) to release Gastrin

24
Q

What stimulates D cells to release Somatostatin?

25
What inhibits D cells from releasing SST
Acetycholine
26
Somatostatin inhibits secreation of what three things?
Gcell--> gastrin ECL--> histamine Parietal cell--> HCl
27
What stimulates G cells to release gastrin? | What inhibits it
GPR | inhibited by SST
28
Gastrin stimulates the release of what three things
D cell--> somatostatin ECL--> histamine Parietal Cell--> HCl
29
What stimulates and inhibits ECL cells to release histamine?
Stimulated by Ach | inhibitd by SST
30
What 1 thing does histamine stimulate the release of?
Parietal cell --> HCl
31
What 3 things stimulate release of HCL from parietal cells?
ACh, Histamine, Gastrin
32
Stomach acid content (H+) will ______ within an hour of eating a meal
drop, thus pH will rise
33
When do we see a rise in H+ secreation after a meal?
starts to rise about the same time it drops (d/t food buffering) so around 1 hour and peaks at 3
34
Role of IF?
VitB12 absorption
35
What digests fats?
salivary lipase from salivary glands | Gastric lipase from chief cells
36
Pepsinogen for protein digestion and is secreated from: secreation induced by: activated by:
Chief Cells  Secretion induced by acetylcholine (vagus and myenteric nerves),gastrin (G-cells), secretin (duodenum) and cholecystokinin (duodenum)  Activated by HCl or Pepsin via accessing active site
37
Mucous cells in stomach are made of
mucins, phospholipids, electorlytes, water
38
Funxtion of mucous in stomach
protection, lubriation
39
How does mucous protect stomach?
 HCO3; Neutralizes acid within mucous and is Released by superficial epithelial cells  Mucins also protective
40
What relseases HCO3 in stomach
superficial epitherlial clls
41
Stomach fnx in storage by |  Food in concentric circles stretches the stomach causing _____to relax stomach wall
“vasovagal reflex”
42
 Secreted digestive enzymes mixed with food by weak peristalic constrictor waves (mixing waves) initiated at _____stomach wall and propagated to the antrum
mid to upper
43
_____muscle contraction pushes food towards the mid stomach
Pylorus (retrograde)
44
How much food is released to duodenum at a time?
Only about a few milliliters of food is released into the duodenum (chyme)
45
When empyting the stomach: | Intense peristaltic contractions in stomach antrum begin in_____and propagate
mid-stomach
46
As stomach empties, the contractions start
further up the stomach wall
47
In stomach:  Stretching of the stomach wall by food stimulates_____ reflexes to increase activity of pylorus pump to empty stomach
myenteric
48
IN stomach emptying: | ____ stimulation of the pylorus pump.
Gastrin
49
In Duodenum to control emptying of stomach: |  Duodenum nerves send signal in response to
wall distension, mucosal irritation, and chyme | acidity and osmolality
50
Duodenal Signals sent through the____ nervous system, extrinsic nerves and vagus nerves in parallel to inhibit stomach contractions and increase tone of the pyloric sphincter.
enteric
