Meaning of GIP
Glucose-dependent Insulinotoropic Peptide
Stimulates insulin secretion
Secreted by K cells in duodenum
Damage to this area in the hypothalamus will cause
weight gain

Lateral - Lamon - Hunger center
What is the GI pacemaker?
Interstitial cells of Cajal
SLOW WAVES
Slowest - Stomach
Fastest - Duodenum
Empty into the intestinal glands, secrete an alkaline fluid composed of mucin, which exerts a physiologic ANTI-ACID function by coating the duodenal epithelium, therefore protecting it from the acid chyme of the stomach.
