Q

What cell produces intrinsic factor

19
Q

What cell produces thick visible mucus

A

Surface mucus

20
Q

What cell produces pepsinogen

21
Q

What cell produces HCL

22
Q

What cell produces gastrin

23
Q

What cell produces gastric lipase

24
Q

Which layer within the ME is not always present

25
Q

What is the surface epithelium of the stomach

A

Simple columnar

26
Q

Isthmus cells produce what

A

Thick, visible mucus that traps bicarbonate ions. Alkaline

27
Q

What is the function of isthmus cells

A

To protect mucosa from auto-digestion and the rougher components of chyme

28
Q

What are DNES cells

A

Enteroendocrine cells

29
Q

What is a type D DNES cell do

A

Produces somatostatin, inhibits release of hormones by nearby DNES cells and HCL release

30
Q

Type EC DNES cells produce

A

Serotonin and substance P: increases gut motility

31
Q

What do type G DNES cells do

A

Produce gastrin, stimulates HCL and pepsinogen secretion, gastric motility, and regenerative cells in body of stomach

TQQQQQQQQQ

32
Q

What do neck cells do

A

Neck mucous cells- produce a soluble, less alkaline mucus. FUnction- to lubricate gastric contents

33
Q

What do regenerative cells do

A

Replace all cell types!

34
Q

What do parietal (oxyntic) cells do

A

Add odd columnar cells with intracellular canaliculi

Produce strong HCL, made a .8ph and buffer to 1-2ph

Intrinsic factor

35
Q

Intrinsic factor is necessary for

A

Vitamin B12 absorption

36
Q

What is chronic gastritis can lead to pernicious anemia

A

Low number of parietal cells can lead to low amounts of intrinisic factor which will decrease vitamin B12 absorption which is necessary for RBC maturation

37
Q

What chief cells produce

A

Pepsinogen to break down proteins

Some gastric lipase to break down fats

38
Q

What cells live at the Base of the stomach

A

Chief

Parietal

DNES

39
Q

What cells live at the neck

A

Neck mucus cells

Regenerative cells

Parietal

40
Q

What cells live at the isthmus

A

Surface mucous

DNES

41
Q

What cells are in the pyloric region of the stomach

A

Primarily surface mucus, DNES and parietal cells

Some neck mucous cells that also produce some lysozyme

42
Q

What is the pyloric sphincter

A

The anatomical sphincter between the pylorus of the stomach and the duodenum

43
Q

What are the characteristics of an anatomical sphincter

A
  1. Well developed inner circular layer of muscle in ME

2. Inner circular layer in ME can be independently controlled

44
Q

What are the two causes of peptic ulcer disease

A
  1. Damage to mucus coat
  2. Too much HCL and pepsin

Helicobacter pylori
