Pancreatic Secretions U6L03 Flashcards
what organ produces the vast majority of digestive enzymes
pancreatic
protease examples (4)
what are zymogens?
have no enzymatic activity and need to be activated
____ is activated to ___by cleavage by enteropeptidase (present in the mucosa of the gut)
trypsinogen is activated to trypsin
____ cleaves chymotrypsinogen to produce **active chymotrypsin. **
trypsin
In pancreatitis the pancreas becomes inflamed and the digestive enzymes are activated when?
before they reach the intestine causing damage to the pancreas.
examples of lipases
lipase, phopholipase
amylases digest
carbs
nucleases examples
ribonuclease
deoxyribonuclease
aquous juice is high in
bicarbonate, to neurtailize the stomach
aqueous juice is produced by
duct cells and central acinar cells
enzyme juice is produced by ___
acinar cells
aqueous juice and enzyme juice are examples of ___ secretions
exocrine
Endocrine secretions of the pancreas are produced in the
islets of Langerhans
endocrine secretions of the pancreas inclide
(1) glucagon (secreted by alpha cells)
(2) insulin (secreted by beta cells)
(3) somatostatin (secreted by delta cells).
path of pancreatic secretions from the intercalaray ducts?
intercalary ducts merge into secretory ducts –> ducts or Wrisung and Santori –> duodenum
__ allows for pancreatic enzymes to function at optimal ph
bicarbpmate
why cant pepsin attack duodenal mucosa?
its inactive at neurtal ph
___ dilutates the enzyme juice
aqueous secretion
what is the fundamental secretory unit of the exocine pancreas?
acinus and an intercalated duct
The ___ cell is a cuboidal cell with abundant mitochondria that secretes bicarbonate
duct
The zymogen granule protects the pancreas from
auto-digestion
what happens with enzymes in pancreatitis>
enzymes are released into the cell instead of being packaged in granules.
The acinar cell has large condensing vacuoles that are gradually reduced in size and form mature ___
zymogen granules (which contain proenzymes)
____ increase intracellular calcium in acinar cells (3)
CCK, ACh, and gastrin
____ and ___ increase cAMP in acinar cells (2)
Secretin and VIP
Secretin and ___ act synergistically
CCK
VIP is a neurotransmitter in the gut normally not important in pancreatic secretion, but it becomes important in
pancreatic tumors known as vipomas, which result in a watery diarrhea.
what are vipomas? what NT is important with them?
pancreatic tumor that cause watery diarrhea
VIP
Both ___ and ___ stimulate NaCL secretion from the acinar cells
ACh and CCK
Both ACh and CCK stimulate NaCl secretion, probably through ____ of basolateral and apical ion channels.
phosphorylation
secretion of nacl of the acinar cell does what?
sends water outward
in the duct cell
The initial step in bicarbonate secretion by the duct cell is diffusion of ____ from the blood
across the basolateral membrane into the duct cell.
CO2
Bicarbonate accumulates inside the duct cell and exits across the apical membrane via a___exchanger.
Cl-/HCO3-
what is the cl channel in the cl/hco3 exchanger?
This chloride channel is the CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator) channel
what ope CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator) channel? what mechanism does it act?
secretin, utilizing cAMP as its second messenger to open the chloride channel.
The channel only opens when its R domain is phosphorylated by PKA
what happens to co2 after it enters the duct cell
hydrated by carbonic anhydrase (CA) to carbonic acid, —> which rapidly dissociates to form H+ and HCO3-
what happens with the H+ produced after co2 that enters the duct cells is hydrated?
proton moves across the basolateral membrane
- by a Na+/H+ exchanger
- or an electrogenic proton pump.
what acidifies venous blood during secretion
electrogenic proton pump and by Na/H exhange in the basolateral membrane during
what stimualtes aquaeous secretion by the pancreatic duct cells
secretin and cck
secretin activates ___ channel
cftr cl channel
cftr channel replensihes
CL- needed for cl/hclo exchange
CCk potentiates the action of secretin by priming the
NA/K atpase
apical K channel is activated by
Ca
cck activates via plc to increase
the intracellular ca –> potentiates action of ca
the ___ pathway pulls Na into the tight junctions, allowing water to flow through
paracellular
