Q

where is lingual lipase most frequently present?

A

young animals on milk diet

31
Q

what does lingual lipase do?

A

initiates hydrolysis of triglycerides into diacylglyceride and free FA

32
Q

in ruminants and herbivores, saliva consists of ___ and ___ proteins

A

lysozymes
antitoxic protein

33
Q

what are the antibacterial effects of lysozymes?

A

hydrolytic enzymes
*loss of peptidoglycan integrity results in rapid cell lysis in hypo-osmotic environment

34
Q

what are tannins?

A

phenolic compounds made by plants as defense mechanism against herbivores
creates bitter taste to reduce tasteness
has NEGATIVE GI tract effect

35
Q

tannins cause a ___ of food intake, ___ in ruminal protein degradation, and ___ digestive enzymes by binding and forming insoluble complexes

A

REDUCTION/INHIBIT

36
Q

which species likely has a bigger parotid gland?

A

browser&raquo_space; grazer

37
Q

how is tannin neutralized?

A

parotid glands producing proline rich proteins

38
Q

browsers eat plant material with ___ tannin concentrations. they have ___ parotid glands than grazers

A

higher, larger

39
Q

explain the buffer function of saliva in ruminants

A

buffers rumen fluid
microbial activity constantly produces VFA, which is buffered by bicarb from saliva.
ruminant saliva pH 8, has NO enzymes

40
Q

what are the four components of gastric juice?

A

HCl
pepsinogen
mucus
intrinsic factor

41
Q

what does the HCl do in gastric juice?

A

reduces pH of stomach, activates pepsinogen, aids in protein digestion, kills bacteria

42
Q

what does pepsinogen do i gastric juice?

A

inactive/active digests protein

43
Q

what does mucus do in gastric juice?

A

protects gastric mucosa from corrosive actions of HCl

44
Q

what does the intrinsic factor do in gastric juice?

A

necessary for absorption of vitamin B12 in ileum

45
Q

which species have glandular mucosa in stomach?

A

dog, cat

46
Q

which species have non-glandular mucosa in stomach?

A

horse, rats

47
Q

the epithelium in the glandular region contains what type of cells?

A

parietal
chief
enteroendocrine

48
Q

what do chief cells do?

A

pepsinogen -> pepsin

49
Q

what do surface mucus cells do?

A

produce thick, tenacious mucus, protective function against acid and mechanical damage

50
Q

what do mucus neck cells do?

A

thin mucus
progenitor cells
can do mitosis

51
Q

what doe D cells, G cells, ECL cells do?

A

produce hormones that regulate gastric secretion and motility

52
Q

what do parietal cells secrete? what pumps are used?

A

H+ and Cl-
H+ via…ATP pumps, exchange H+ against K+
Cl- via…passive movement down electrogenic gradient

53
Q

where is HCl formed in stomach?

A

gastric lumen

54
Q

what is Cl- exchanged for on basolateral membrane?

A

bicarb

55
Q

what is the “alkaline tide”?

A

Cl- exchanged for bicarb
HCO3-/Cl- exchange on basolateral side to bring in Cl- and cause alkaline tide (temporary pH increase in blood)

56
Q

explain neural control of HCl secretion

A

PNS and ENS activate parietal cells via M3 receptors

57
Q

explain endocrine control of HCl secretion

A

secretion of GASTRIN from G cells binds to CCK-B receptors
secretion of HISTAMINE from ECL binds to H2 receptors

58
Q

what is histamine released in response to?

A

gastrin

59
Q

what is gastrin released in response to?

small peptides and AA in stomach
distension of stomach
vagal stimulation

60
Q

what are the two mechanisms that mediate activation of H-K ATPase and therefore HCl stimulation?

stimulate

62

protects stomach epithelial lining against acidic environment

66
Q

what happens if the gastric mucosal barrier is broken?

67
Q

what are the three components of the gastric mucosal barrier?

A

compact epithelial lining
