16
Q

Describe how parietal cells secrete acid

A

Resting cell H+/K+-ATPase in cytoplasmic vesicles
Stimulated cell H+/K+-ATPase membrane fused
Increase SA + membrane pumps

17
Q

What are the positive regulators of parietal cell?
(Stimulate to release acid)

A

Acetylcholine
Histamine
Gastrin

18
Q

What is the negative regulator of parietal cell?

A

Somatostatin

19
Q

Describe acetylcholine positive regulator

A

Enteric neurons released from
Direct parietal cell stimulation

20
Q

Describe histamine positive regulator

A

ECL cells
Direct parietal cell stimulation
Paracrine activity

21
Q

Describe gastrin positive regulator

A

G cells
Endocrine action
Stimulate histamine release
Directly stimulates parietal cell proliferation

22
Q

Describe somatostatin negative regulator

A

D cells
Directly inhibits parietal cell secretion
Inhibits gastrin + histamine release

23
Q

What is the Ach receptor in acid secretion pathway?

A

Muscarinic M3 receptor

24
Q

What is the histamine receptor in acid secretion pathway?

A

H2

25
Q

What is gastrin receptor in acid secretion pathway?

A

CKKB/CCK2 receptor

26
Q

What does Ach + gastrin act through in acid secretion pathway?

A

G-coupled receptors
Increase Ca2+ + diacylglycerol
Through PLC-inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) pathway

27
Q

What does histamine act through in acid secretion pathway?

A

G-coupled receptors
Increase cAMP

28
Q

What gastrin + Ach dependent on?

A

Ca2+

29
Q

What is histamine dependent on?

A

cAMP

30
Q

What are the 3 stages of acid secretion stimulation?

A

Cephalic phase
Gastric phase
Intestinal phase

31
Q

Describe cephalic phase
1

A

Sight/smell/ thought food

32
Q

Describe gastric phase
2

A

Food in stomach
Mechanoreceptor neural reflex
Peptides in food stimulate G cells = gastrin
Food increase pH = prevent D cell activity

33
Q

Describe intestinal phase
3

A

Chyme enter duodenum
Feedback prevent chyme acidity
Duodenal stimulation of hormones
Decrease food, decrease pH = stimulates D cell activity

34
Q

What happens to gastric secretion following food?

A

Food in stomach buffers acid + raises pH
Suppresses D cells
Gastrin + HCl released
Stomach distention, digestion triggers secretion vol + HCl
Food leaves stomach = acid increases = pH falls
= D cells stimulated = somatostatin inhibits HCl production

35
Q

How is HCl secretion controlled?

A

Direct stimulation of ECL
Direct stimulation of G cells
Inhibition of somatostatin
Pyloric antrum exposure to peptides

36
Q

Describe the mechanism of HCl secretion

A

CO2 diffuses into parietal cell
Hydrated to carbonic acid by carbonic hydrase
H2CO3 dissociated to H+ + H2CO3-
H+/K+-ATPase actively transport H+ out, K+ in
Na+ actively reabsorbed
K+ recycles to gastric lumen via K+ channel
Cl- exits passively from cells via Cl- channel

37
Q

What are the protective functions of prostaglandin acid regulation?

A

Increase mucus secretion
Increase cell regeneration
Increase HCO3- release
Increase H+ secretion
Increase blood flow

38
Q

What is present to protect against acid?

A

Intrinsic mucosal protection
