Salvation and gastric Function Flashcards
pathway of GI hormones
produced in GI endocrine cells, portal circulation, pass through liver, systemic circulation to target cells
target cells of gastrin
parietal cells in stomach
3 main GI paracrines
somatostatin,
histamine,
serotonin
act locally on same tissue that secretes them
paracrines
produced by enterochromaffic cells in intestine in response to distension; excites ENS to increase motility and secretions
serotinin (paracrine)
produced by D cells; inhibits pancreatic and gastric secretions/motility; endocrine and paracrine
somatostatin
released by EC-like cells in the stomach; stimulates HCl secretion via H2 receptors
histamine
synthesized in neurons in GI tract; released following AP
neurocrines
ACh, norepi, VIP, GRP (gastrin releasing peptide), substance P
neurocrines
released from G-cells in stomach in response to food, distension, vagus; increases HCl secretion by parietal cells; stimulates growth of gastric mucosa
Gastrin
secreted by I-cells in mucosa of duodenum and jejunum in response to facts and proteins/peptides/amino acids; increases gall bladder contraction; increases pancreatic enzymes (trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipases, amylases) and bicarb; inhibits gastric emptying
CCK
secreted by S cells in mucosa of duodenum in response to acidic chyme from stomach; increases bicarb and fluid secretion by pancreas; decreases gastrin and gastric acid secretion; inhibits gastric emptying
Secretin
trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipases, amylases
pancreatic enzymes
secreted by M cells in mucosa of duodenum and jejunum during fasting period; promotes contraction of distal stomach and intestines to clear
Motilin
secreted by K cells in mucosa of duodenum and jejunum in response to fat and carbs; act on pancreas to stimulate insulin secretion; inhibits HCl secretion by parietal cells
GIP (glucose-dependent insulinomic peptide)
digestion starts in mouth
carbs, fats
digestions starts in stomach
proteins
what are and are not digested in stomach
are: proteins, lipids
are not: carbs
pancreatic enzyme; digestion of proteins in intestine
chymotrypsin
pancreatic enzyme; digestion of lipids in intestine
lipase
pancreatic enzyme; digestion of carbs in intestine
amylase
brush border disaccharidases and dipeptidases complete digestion of carbs and proteins respectively
membrane digestion
lysozyme, IgA-binding protein
in saliva to reduce bacterial growth
ptyalin; denatured below pH 4
salivary amylase
progressive, chronic autoimmune disease which destroys salivary and lacrimal glands
Sjogren syndrome
dry mouth; dental caries and halitosis due to bacterial overgrowth
Xerostromia
secrete serous (watery) substance rich in a-amylase; secrete 25% of saliva each day
acinar cells of parotid gland
produce sero-mucous product rich in mucin glycoproteins; produce 75% of daily saliva
acinar cells of submandibular (70%) and sublingual (5%) glands
high flow rates - saliva is
like plasma
low flow rates - saliva is
hypotonic
flow in duct cells for saliva
Na and Cl out, K and HCO3 into saliva
only humoral agent to affect salivation; stimulates Na reabsorption and K secretion by salivary glands
aldosterone
are salivary duct cells permeable to water
no - tight junctions
what cells secrete lingual lipase
von ebner’s cells
otic and submandibular ganglia
stimulated by parasympathetics via salivary nucleus of medulla
otic ganglion stimulates
parotid gland via Ach
submandibular ganglion stimnulates
submandibular gland via Ach
parotid and submandibular glands cause increased
salivary secretion via effects on acinar secretion and vasodilation
