Q

Function of HCl

A

. Denature protein
. Kill most ingested bacteria
. Dissolve CT in food
. Maintain low gastric luminal pH for pepsinogen activation and optimal pepsin activity

17
Q

Secretory mechanism of HCl

A

. Apical membrane of parietal cell contains H-K ATPase that transports K into the cell and H out of cell against electrochemical gradients (primary active transport)
. H ion comes from action of the enzyme CA
. On basolat. Membrane, Cl is exchanged for excess bicarbonate ion
. HCO3 enters venous circulation and inc. pH of gastric venous blood
. Cl leaves the cell on apical membrane by facilitated diffusion
. HCl secretion followed by passive diffusion of H2O
. Rate-limiting step in HCl secretion is availability of ATP for proton pump

18
Q

Agonists of HCl secretion

A

. They are synergistic
. W/o them secretion is significantly limited
. ACh inc. Ca
. Gastrin inc. Ca
. Histamine inc. cAMP (paracrine released from ECL cells in gastric mucosa)

19
Q

Antagonists of HCl secretion

A

. Somatostatin (paracrine from D cells in gastric mucosa) dec. cAMP
. Prostaglandins (generated from arachidonic acid) dec. cAMP

20
Q

Gastrin function

A

. Hormone
. Inc. HCl, intrinsic factor, histamine, and pepsinogen secretion
. Inc. rate of gastric emptying
. Stimulates growth of gastric mucosa (trophic hormone)
. Promotes mass movements in colon (gastrocolonic reflex)

21
Q

Regulation of gastrin secretion

A

. G cells express receptors in their basolateral membrane that directly inc. or dec. gastrin secretion
. Protein digestion products in gastric lumen activate GRP-releasing IPANS to inc. gastrin secretion (short neural reflex)

22
Q

A

. Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) released from enteric neurons
. ACh
. Protein digestion products in gastric lumen (GRP)
. Secretin
. Gastric distension: long and short neural reflexes

23
Q

. Express receptors in their basolat. Membrane that when activated directly dec. gastrin release
. Somatostatin: paracrine released from D cells of gastric mucosa when pH of gastric lineal contents is under 3

24
Q

Histamine function

A

. Stimulates secretion of HCl and intrinsic factor
. Inhibits secretion of somatostatin
. Paracrine

25
Q

Histamine regulation of secretion

A

. ECL cells express receptors in their membrane for gastrin to inc. histamine secretion and for somatostatin to dec. histamine secretion

26
Q

. Inhibits secretion of HCl, intrinsic factor, pepsinogen, histamine, and gastrin
. Inhibits secretion of peptides from endocrine cells
. Constricts blood vessels and dec. local blood flow

27
Q

Somatostatin regulation of secretion

A

. Cytoplasmic processes of D cells allow for control of G, ECL, and parietal cells

A

. G, ECL, and D cells along w/ enteric neurons and vagus n. Interact to modulate HCl secretion from parietal cells
