Q

Process of ACID SECRETION

A

(1) Stimulation
(2) Tubulovesicular membrane (with H-K Pump) fuse into Cannalicular membrane
(3) Increase surface area of Parietal cells
(4) Insertion of H-K Pumps, Potassium and Chloride channels into Cannalicular membrane
(5) GASTRIC H+ EXTRUDED INTO LUMEN EXCHANGE FOR K
(6) K+ is recycled, Passive moment of Cl- into gland lumen
(7) Active secretion of HCl
(8) Increase in Parietal cell pH
(9) Passive uptake CO2 and H2O; Carbonic Anhydrase convert to H+ and HCO3 (H+ substrate for H-K Pump)

Q

ACID SECRETION by PARIETAL CELLS

A

(1) Water in Parietal cell dissociates into H+ and OH-
(2) H+ active secretion in exchange with K+ (H-K ATPase)
(3) K+ ions in Basolateral side leak into lumen (BUT RECYCLED)
(4) Basolateral pump creates low IC Na = Low Na+; REABSORPTION
(5) K+ and Na+ in cannaliculus is reabsorbed in CYTOPLASM; H+ in CANNALICULUS
(6) Increase OH- to accumulate; Form HCO3 from CO2 Carbonic Anhydrase
(7) HCO3 out across basolateral membrane into ECF; Exchange Cl
(8) Increase HCl in cannaliculus
(9) HCl secreted outside the lumen

PATH 2
(2) Ach release due to vessel stimulation
(3) Release pepsinogen; stimulate Parietal cell to secrete acid
(4) STOMACH: Dec pH, stimulate chief cells = Pepsinogen release

Q

3 Phases of Gastric Acid Secretion

A

(1) Cephalic - 30% of total acid
(2) Gastric - 50-60% of total acid
(3) Intestinal - 5-10% of total acid

62
Q

Explain CEPHALIC PHASE

A

(1) Sight, smell, taste or thought and swallowing of food
(2) Mediated by VAGUS NERVE of (Medulla Oblongata)
(3) Parasympathetic stimulation
(4)
- Release of Ach: Parietal cell H+ secretion
- BODY of stomach Ach trigger Histamine release
- ANTRUM GRP induce Gastrin release
- ANTRUM and BODY inhibit D cells - reduce Somatostatin and background inhibition of Gastrin release

63

(1) DISTENTION of Proximal Part of stomach (VASOVAGAL REFLEX), partially digested proteins stimulate Antral G cells
(2) Send impulse to medulla oblongata; Parasympathetic stimulation

64
Q

Explain INTESTINAL PHASE

A

(1) Chyme in DUODENUM

(3) Inhibition of Gastric Acid
(4)
- Signal Medulla Oblongata inhibition of PS stimulation

A

(1) Tactile stimulation
(2) Chemical irritation
(3) Distention of the gut wall

66
Q

SYMPATHETIC STIMULATION has a dual effect

A

SYMPATHETIC - Slight increase in secretion

SYMPATHETIC plus PARASYMPATHETIC - with vasoconstriction = dec. blood supply —> decrease secretion

67

FALSE

  • does not

(2) GRINDING - most vigorous grinding and mixing occur close to pylorus (Pyloric valve closed)
(3) RETROPULSION - the pyloric end acts as pump that delivers small amounts of chyme into duodenum, simultaneously forcing most of its contents backward into the stomach (Pyloric valve slightly opened)
