Q

Phases of Gastric Secretion

A
  1. Cephalic - 30%
    - sight/smell of food
    - ach from vagus nerve
    - gastrin from G cells
    - histamine from ECL cells
  2. Gastric - 60%
    - Gastric digestion and release of peptides
    - stretch - vasovagal and local enteric reflexes
    - gastrin from G cells
  3. Intestinal - 10% - shuts down gastric secretion
    - gastric emptying
    - decreases intestinal and gastric antral pH
    - somatostatin from D cells
    - Secretin from S cells
    - CCK from I cells

Q

Gastrin
Source, Stimulus, Action

A

Source: G cell
Stimulus:
- stretch and vagal stimulation
- peptides and amino acids (spec. phenylalanine and tryptophan)
Action:
- acts on enterochromaffin-like cells in an endocrine like fashion to tell them to secrete histamine which acts on parietal cells
- acts on parietal cells to secrete stomach acid

Q

What are the three receptors on parietal cells? What binds to them and how do they activate the parietal cells?

A

M3 (ach), H2 (histamine), CCK (gastrin)
M3 and CCK increase intracellular calcium and histamine increases cyclic AMP to result in activation of parietal cells by a shape change to secrete HCl.
