Pharm: Acid Peptic Drugs Flashcards
T/F PUD can involve any of the upper GI organs
T
Which cell layer is involved in PUD
PUD includes inflammatory mucosal disorders of the upper GI tract
What kind of receptor is the histamine receptor in the fundus of the stomach?
H2
What kind of receptor is the acetylcholine receptor in the fundus of the stomach?
M3
What activates the H+/K+ ATPase in the parietal cell?
increase in cAMP and intracellular Ca2+
Does the H+/K+ ATPase in the parietal cell use energy?
yes
What other cells support the HCl secretory function of parietal cells?
neighboring enterochromaffin like cells have receptors for ACh and gastrin and secrete histamine when stimulated.
Which excitatory input is not regulated by negative feedback at the level of the parietal cell in gastric acid secretion?
ACh
Which cells secrete pepsin
gastric chief cells
Above what pH is pepsin inactivated?
4
Above what pH is pepsin IRREVERSIBLY inactivated?
6 –> means new enzyme has to be synthesized
T/F pepsin will be inactivated by anything that increases the gastric pH
T
T/F bile can be damaging to the GI lining in the absence of acid.
T
What usually prevents reflux of bile into the stomach and esophagus?
pylorus and LES
Bile gastritis is a consequence of surgery in what kind of patient?
in patients in whom the anatomy of the pylorus has been disrupted (pyloroplasty)
What environmental factor enhances acid secretion and lowers LES pressure?
caffeine
What environmental factor is directly toxic to upper GI organs?
alcohol
What environmental factor may increase acid secretion but does not impair mucosal protective factors?
tobacco
What areas of the GI tract secret bicarbonate?
stomach, duodenal surface epithelia, mucus neck cells, Brunner’s glands
