Pancreas Flashcards
What are 3 key cell types that are improtant to exocrine fucntion of pancreas
acinar, duct, goblet
function of acinar cell
protein synthesizing cells
secrete digestive enzyme and fluid
functino of duct cell
secretes bicarb
helps with ion and water transport
function of goblet cell
secrete mucin
What are 2 primary stimuli for fluid and enzyme secretion by pancreatic acinar cells
CCK
Ach
function of CCK
promote fluid and enzyme secretion
promote through Ca++ signaling docking and vesicular release
will give neg feedback after there is enough fluid/enzymes
what do CCK and Ach both do
promote vesicle fusion, regulate Cl- ion channel
how are zymogens stores in pancrea
in vesicles with trypsin inhibitor. low pH of vesicle prevents enzyme activation
how are symogens activated in duodenum
entereopeptidase is secreted which converts trypsinogen to trypsin
What is the primary stimulus for secretion of bicarbonate from pancreatic duct cells
secretin
function of secretion
protect duodenal epithelium from acid by secreting bicarb
gives neg feedback to stomach
what are the 3 phases of pancreatic seceretion
cephalic, gastric, intestinal
how is the cephalic phase stimulated
sight, smell, taste, masticulation
how is the gastric phase stimulated
distension, gastrin, peptides/peptone
how is the intestinal phase stimulated
amino acids
fatty acids
H+
how is cephalic phase regulated
vagal pathway
