Q

The VAgus nerve stimulates the relesase of what two things?

A

Acetycholine and Gastric relesase peptide

22
Q

What does Ach cause stimulation of?

inhibition of?

A

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

23
Q

Gastric releasing peptide stimulates secreation of waht?

A

G cell (antrum) to release Gastrin

24
Q

What stimulates D cells to release Somatostatin?

A

HCl

25
Q

What inhibits D cells from releasing SST

A

Acetycholine

26
Q

Somatostatin inhibits secreation of what three things?

A

Gcell–> gastrin
ECL–> histamine
Parietal cell–> HCl

27
Q

What stimulates G cells to release gastrin?

What inhibits it

A

GPR

inhibited by SST

28
Q

Gastrin stimulates the release of what three things

A

D cell–> somatostatin
ECL–> histamine
Parietal Cell–> HCl

29
Q

What stimulates and inhibits ECL cells to release histamine?

A

Stimulated by Ach

inhibitd by SST

30
Q

What 1 thing does histamine stimulate the release of?

A

Parietal cell –> HCl

31
Q

What 3 things stimulate release of HCL from parietal cells?

A

ACh, Histamine, Gastrin

32
Q

Stomach acid content (H+) will ______ within an hour of eating a meal

A

drop, thus pH will rise

33
Q

When do we see a rise in H+ secreation after a meal?

A

starts to rise about the same time it drops (d/t food buffering) so around 1 hour and peaks at 3

34
Q

Role of IF?

A

VitB12 absorption

35
Q

What digests fats?

A

salivary lipase from salivary glands

Gastric lipase from chief cells

36
Q

Pepsinogen for protein digestion and is secreated from:
secreation induced by:
activated by:

A

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
Q

Mucous cells in stomach are made of

A

mucins, phospholipids, electorlytes, water

38
Q

Funxtion of mucous in stomach

A

protection, lubriation

39
Q

How does mucous protect stomach?

A

 HCO3; Neutralizes acid within mucous and is Released by superficial epithelial cells
 Mucins also protective

40
Q

What relseases HCO3 in stomach

A

superficial epitherlial clls

41
Q

Stomach fnx in storage by

 Food in concentric circles stretches the stomach causing _____to relax stomach wall

A

“vasovagal reflex”

42
Q

 Secreted digestive enzymes mixed with food by weak peristalic constrictor waves (mixing waves) initiated at _____stomach wall and propagated to the antrum

A

mid to upper

43
Q

_____muscle contraction pushes food towards the mid stomach

A

Pylorus (retrograde)

44
Q

How much food is released to duodenum at a time?

A

Only about a few milliliters of food is released into the duodenum (chyme)

45
Q

When empyting the stomach:

Intense peristaltic contractions in stomach antrum begin in_____and propagate

A

mid-stomach

46
Q

As stomach empties, the contractions start

A

further up the stomach wall

47
Q

In stomach:
 Stretching of the stomach wall by food
stimulates_____ reflexes to increase
activity of pylorus pump to empty stomach

A

myenteric

48
Q

IN stomach emptying:

____ stimulation of the pylorus pump.

A

Gastrin

49
Q

In Duodenum to control emptying of stomach:

 Duodenum nerves send signal in response to

A

wall distension, mucosal irritation, and chyme

acidity and osmolality

50
Q

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.

A

enteric
