Pancreas and liver Flashcards
What are the three things that chyme are?
Hypertonic
Low pH
Partially digested
What does the hypertonic nature of chyme allow?
water from the ECF and circulation to enter chyme in the duodenum (stomach not permeable to water)
Must be controlled to not overwhelm
What does the low pH of chyme allow?
Secretions from the pancreas and liver e.g. enzymes, bicarbonate, bile
What is secreted from the duodenum?
CKK and secretin
What does secretin do?
Secretin acts on pancreas to stimulate bicarbonate components of pancreas secretions
What does CKK do?
CKK acts on pancreas to stimulate enzyme components of pancreas secretion
also acts on gallbladder by contracting but also relaxes sphincter of oddi and
What stimulates the pancreas to secrete?
CKK
Secretin
Sympathetic inhibits and parasympathetic stimulates
What does CCK stimulate exactly? (and vagus nerve)
Acini cells
What do acini cells do?
Produce enzymes
Amylase and lipase
And inactive proteases
What happens to inactive proteases?
Concentrated and stored in zymogen granules
These contains zymogen which is trypsinogen which can be converted into trypsisn in interstitual lumen
When active- trypsin, chymotrpsin, elastase and carboxypeptidase
