Secretion I Flashcards
What are R- binders?
- are proteins in the saliva that bind vitamin B12 and protect it from proteases in the stomach (pepsins)
What does ghrelin stimulate in the brain?
Neuro Peptide Y
Salivation is stimulated by
PNS – facial and glossopharyngeal nerves, NOT the vagus! Control by:
- autonomic: [parasymp: ACh, VIP] [sympath: beta and alpha adrenergics (NE)]
- central NS: afferents/efferents to salivary nucleus
What stimulates ghrelin?
empty stomach
What does NYP do?
Stimulates hunger
Where is ghrelin secreted from?
epsilon cells of the pancreas and P/D1 cells of the fundus
What is released when chyme enters the duodenum and upper jejunum?
Peptide YY and GLP-1
What does peptide YY and GLP-1 do?
suppress NPY
What does leptin do?
Suppresses NPY
What produces saliva?
Parotid glands, submaxillary glands, sublingual glands
What is in serous fluid?
amylase, R-binders
What is very important and limiting to the production of saliva?
Blood flow to the salivary gland
What is responsible for reclamation of electrolytes from the acinar excretions?
Striated and excretory duct cells
Is saliva hypo or hyper tonic compared to blood plasma?
hypotonic
What ion is in higher concentraiton in saliva than it is in the plasma?
K+
What is secreted from the tounge?
Lingual lipase
What PNS controls salivary function?
Glossopharyngeal and facial nerves
What function do SNS nerves have in the production of saliva?
Very small contribution in helping the acinar ducts constrict and spurt out their contents
What do glands in the esophagus do?
Produce some mucin
What produces HCl in the stomach?
Parietal cells
What produces Intrinsic factor?
Parietal cells
What does intrinsic factor do?
Helps bind B12 protecting it from proteases
What produces pepsinogen?
Chief cells
What % of digestion is done pre-duodenally?
25-30%
What produces gastrin?
G cells
Where are G cells located?
in the antrum
