Q

What is this:
Occurs before the food bolus enters the stomach. Initiated by smell, sight, taste etc. The greater the appetite the more intense the stimulation.

Q

Describe the innervation of the cephalic phase i.e how we get to be mouth watering

A

Cerebral cortex/ amygdala/ hypothalamus-»vagus to the stomach-> stimuate GRP (gastrin releasing peptide)–> G cells release gastrin–> stimulate parietal cells.

Q

What is this:
The presence of proteins in the duodenum can cause the release of small amounts of gastric juices possibly through release of gastrin. Distension of the intestine also causes acid secretion possibly through the release of enterooxyntin, a hormone from endocrine cells.

A

Intestinal Phase

Q

How can we decrease secretion of acid?

A

Enterogastric reflexes:
distention, acid in intestine, protein breakdown products and irritation of mucosa will inhibit secretion via ENS and vagal nerves

Q

It seem like what stimulates acid is what inhibits it?

A

there is a balance, so if we are too acidic, enteric and vagal will sense this etc.

Q

When the stomach gets too acidic (below 3) how do we get G cells to stop making gastrin so that Parietal cells to stop producing gastric acid (HCl)?

A

endocrine cells (D cells) in the antrum release somatostatin the inhibits gastring and gastric secretion

Q

What does the nervous reflex of the duodenum inhibit?

A

acid secretion

31
Q

When you have a hyperosmotic solution in the duodenum what happens?

A

it stimulates the inhibition of acid secretion

32
Q

(blank) is a proteolytic enzyme that is active at low pH

A

pepsin

33
Q

(blanK) secreted from mucous and chief cells can be activated by acidic environments (i.e HCl)

A

pepsinogen

34
Q

THe binding of secretagoues (a substance that produces secretion) to oxyntic cells (secretory cells) is coupled to at least 2 intracellular messengers which are (blank) and (blank)

A

intracellular calcium

cAMP

35
Q

How does ACh influence calcium?

A

it causes influx of Calcium into the oxyntic cell, resulting in acid secretion.

36
Q

The weak stimulatory effect on gastrin is also (blank) dependent

A

calcium

37
Q

Does histamine need extracellular calcium for acid secretion? WHat does it need?

A

no

cAMP

38
Q

(blank) and (Blank) cause the release of gastrin from pyloric galnds.

A

vagal and local stimulation

39
Q

What are the 2 forms gastrin comes in?

A

G34 and G17

40
Q

(blank) is absorbed and carried in the blood stream and stimulates the release of histamine from ECL cells and HCL from parietal cells

A

gastrin

41
Q

What allows for B12 to be released from dietary protein?

A

gastric acid and pepsin

42
Q

What is IF?

A

Intrinsic factor that i secreted by parietal cells

43
Q

What is essential for the absorption of vit B12 in the ileum?

A

Intrinsic Factor

44
Q

So explain the mechanism for B12 absorption

A

B12 gets released from protein by gastric acid and pepsin–> B12 binds to R protein in acidic environment-> in upper intestine B12 binds to IF-> B12 and IF bind to ileal receptor and get absobred-> B12 transported to tissues by transcobalamin II :)

45
Q

So what will B12 bind to in acidic environments?

A

R protein

46
Q

What will B12 bind to in less acidic environments?

A

IF

47
Q

What will happen to B12 when it binds with IF?

A

it gets absorbed in ileum :)

48
Q

Once B12 is absorbed how does it get to the tissues?

A

via transcobalamin II

49
Q

Where do we find IF and R protein?

A

Saliva :)

50
Q

What happens if we dont have IF?

A

we get pernicious anemia (vit B12 is needed for maturation of RBCs)

51
Q

What kind of protein is IF?

A

a glycoprotein

52
Q
