Panc phys Flashcards

1
Q

Embryology of panc

A

The pancreas is formed from a ventral and dorsal pancreatic bud. The ventral bud migrates dorsally and fuses with the dorsal bud. The ventral bud becomes the uncinate process and head of the pancreas. The dorsal bud becomes the neck, body, and tail of the pancreas.

In ~90% of individuals, the main pancreatic duct (of Wirsung) from the ventral bud is the major source of pancreatic drainage. In ~10% of the population, the accessory pancreatic duct (of Santorini) from the dorsal bud is the major source of drainage due to incomplete bud fusion during development. This is referred to as pancreas divisum.

Q

How do islet cells influence acinar cells?

A

In addition to their endocrine function, islet hormones influence exocrine secretion by perfusing acini on their way to the portal vein. Insulin stimulates enzyme secretion, while somatostatin and glucagon inhibit enzyme secretion.

Q

What is secretin?

A
  • Major stimulus for bicarb and water sec into duodenum. -Activates adenylyl cyclase in duct cells
  • Opens CFTR which exchanges bicarb for Cl-
  • Decreases gastric emptying and secretion, promotes blood flow for digestion

Q

What nerve regulates gastric phase?

A

Vagovagal reflex

-gastric distention produces enzyme rich pancreatic secretion

18
Q

What causes intestinal phase of panc sec?

A

Acid and chyme in intestine, CCK

19
Q

What pH causes release of secretin from mucosa?

A

pH 4.5

20
Q

What causes postprandial panc sec phase

A

Postprandial (inhibitory): uncomplexed intraluminal trypsin inhibits CCK release by digesting monitor peptide and CCK-RP. (ie too much trypsin shuts it all off)

Oleic acid (from colon), peptide YY, glucagon, and somatostatin also play inhibitory roles.

21
Q

How do we test pancreatic fxn in the lab?

A
  • reduced panc sec will lead to steatorrhea or protein in stool
  • do 72 hour fecal fat
  • ->normal is <7g/d
  • Do microscopic sudan stain of stool
22
Q

How do we do a functional test of panc fxn?

A
  • Stimulate the pancreas and collect panc sec in the duodenum via a nasal-duod tube
  • Better for mild cases
23
Q

How do we test panc fxn structurally?

A

endoscopic US, MRI, CT

24
Q

Which bile salts increase canalicular flow?

A

Ursodeoxycholic acid

25
Q

What bile salts decrease canalicular flow?

A

Lithocholic acid

26
Q

MDR3

A

Transports phospholipids into canaliculi

27
Q

MRP2

A

Transports glucuronides (bilirubin) into canaliculi

28
Q

SPGP

A

Transports bile salts into canaliculi

29
Q

FXR (farnesoid x factor)

A

Nuclear receptor that senses intracellular bile salt. It’s stimulation suppresses bile salt synth and inc canalicular secretion

30
Q

What are the primary bile salts?

A

Cholic and chenodeoxycholic

31
Q

What are the secondary bile salts?

A
  • converted by bacteria from primary or by isomerization in the colon
  • These are formed by deconjugation of amino acids and removal or isomerization of the 7α –OH group
  • include deoxycholic, urso and lithocholic
32
Q

What enzyme converts cholesterol to acetate

A

HMGCoA reductase in the liver

33
Q

RLS to bile salt production?

A

7a hydroxylation and COOH side chain (conversion of cholesterol to bile salt)

34
Q

RLS in general

A

Always the active transport into canaliculi

35
Q

Which is more water sol bile salt?

A

Ursodeoxycholic has OH in beta position making it more water soluble

36
Q

What is a mixed micelle?

A

Lipids and lecithin (which inc ability to solubilize cholesterol)

37
Q

Why are bile salts conjugated?

A

Conjugation results in ionization which prevents back diffusion in bile ducts and intestine and also limits proximal intestinal absorption

38
Q

What kind of bile salts are reabsorbed?

A
  • Active ileal transport of conjugated bile salts which are returned to the liver via the portal vein
  • secondary bile salts can be passively absorbed in the colon
39
Q

Where are bile salts re-absorbed?

A

Ileum (conj)

Colon (secondary)

40
Q

What is a consequence of secondary bile salts

A

If there is bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine, the deconjugation of bile salts causes bile acids to precipitate, leading to inadequate micelle formation and fat malabsorption
