stomach Flashcards
parietal cells in stomach secrete
intrinsic factor
gastric acid
chief cells in stomach secrete
pepsinogen
activated by gastric acid to pepsin
G cells in stomach secrete
gastrin
mucosal cell cells in stomach secrete
HCO3
gastrin-secreting tumor (gastrinoma) usually in pancreas → ↑ gastric acid → recurrent duodenal ulcers
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
pancreatic gastrinoma (seen in Zollinger-Ellison syndrome) is associated with
MEN type I
complications of chronic gastritis due to autoimmune destruction of parietal cells (called pernicious anemia)
no IF → vitamin B12 deficiency:
megaloblastic anemia
peripheral neuropathy
dementia
drugs that are potent stimulators of gastrin release from G cells of stomach → ↑gastrin → ↑H+ →GERD → ulceration
phenylalanine
tryptophan
hypercalcemia
sites of HCO3 secretion to neutralize acid in GI tract
mucosal cells - stomach, duodenum (S cells), salivary glands, pancreatic duct
Brunner glands - duodenum
treatment of ZE syndrome
PPI +/- octreotide (if tumor has octreotide R)
↑ gastric acid production or ↓ HCO3/mucosal lining →
breakdown of mucosal lining → inflammation of stomach
acute gastritis
causes of acute gastritis
NSAIDs and aspirin (inhibit COX - inhibit PG - ↑H, ↓PG)
alcohol
burns (curling ulcer)
brain injury (cushing ulcer)
type of ulcer associated with burn injury
curling ulcer (like curling iron) stress of burn →↓ mucosal lining production →ulcer → acute gastritis
type of ulcer associated with brain injury
cushing ulcer
causes of chronic gastritis
H. pylori (spiral shaped, in gastric glands)
autoimmune destruction of gastric parietal cells
H pylori in gastric glands
neutrophils + lymphocytes invading gastric glands
chronic gastritis
