Pancreatic & Biliary Secretions Flashcards
What are the three parts of the small intestine?
Duodenum
Jejunum
Ileum
What does the small intestine receive?
chyme
pancreatic juice
bile
What structures make the small intestine ideal for absorption?
circular folds
villi
microvilli
What does the duodenum secrete into the blood?
Gastrin - D cells CCK - I cells - duodenum and jejunum Secretin - S cells - duodenum Motilin - M cells - duodenum and jejunum Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic peptide - K cells of duodenum and jujenum
How much does the duodenum secrete a day?
2L
What are the enhancing control mechanisms for secretion?
distension, irritation, gastrin and CCK, secretin and parasympathetic activity
What is the inhibitory control mechanism for secretion?
sympathetic nerve activity
What does the secretions from the small intestine contain?
mucus
aqueous salt
no digestive enzymes
What transporters are involved in secretion?
Na-K ATPase - apical, NKCC - apical, CFTR - basolateral
What happens during segmentation?
chopping movements move chyme back and forth vigorously with alternating contractions and relaxations of segments of the circular muscle
What is the frequency of segmentation in the sm. intestine?
duodenum has 12/min, ileum has 9/min which moved food along
What is the gastroileal reflex?
where segmentation occurs in the empty ileum due to gastrin
What peristalic activities occur in the fasting state?
a few localised contractions
the migrating motor complex
What is the migrating motor complex?
occurs between meals 90-120mins
strong peristalic contractions passing length of small intestine
clears sm. intestine of undigested debris, mucus and sloughed epithelial cells
What triggers the migrating motor complex?
motilin
what inhibits the migrating motor complex?
feeding and vagal activity
gastrin and CCK
Where do the digestive enzymes from the pancreas come from?
acinar cells
What does the pancreas secrete for digestion?
aqeous NaHCO3 from duct cells
digestive enzymes from the acinar cells
What pancreatic enzymes are produced by the acinar cells?
trypsinogen chymotrypsinogen procarboxypeptidase pancreatic amylase pancreatic lipase
