Ward, Gastric Phys Part 2 (continued from Week 1) Flashcards
What are the three ways that gastric secretion is regulated?
neural, hormonal, and paracrinal factors
How is gastric secretion regulated neurally?
vagal nerve stimulation
How is gastric secretion regulated hormonally?
via histamine and gastrin :)
What does ACh do for gastric secretion?
it stimulates the secretion of substances such as pepsinogen, HCL, mucus and gastrin
What does Gastrin and Histamine do?
Stimulate release of HCl by parietal cells.
What receptors does histamine work on? Knowing what histamine does and what receptors it works on, how would we reduce acid secretion?
H2 receptors use cimentidine (an antagonist of H2 receptors)
Where do we get histmaine?
via mast cells in LP
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.
cephalic phase
Describe the innervation of the cephalic phase i.e how we get to be mouth watering
Cerebral cortex/ amygdala/ hypothalamus-»vagus to the stomach-> stimuate GRP (gastrin releasing peptide)–> G cells release gastrin–> stimulate parietal cells.
What percentage of gastric secretion is associated with cephalic phase?
20-30%
What is this:
Gastric distension and partially digested proteins stimulate mechano-receptors which stimulate paretial cells through short local enteric reflexes and long vagovagal reflexes.
Gastric Phase
Explain the innervation of the gastric phase?
gastric distention and partially digested proteins
- ->local enteric reflexes, long vagovagal reflexes
- -> gastric secretion
What percentage of gastric secretion is associated with gastric phase?
60%
When we think about stimulating parietal cells what 2 things should we be thinking about?
Ach
gastrin
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.
Intestinal Phase
Explain the intestinal phase
Distension of intestion->release of enterooxyntin–>acid secretion
What percentage of gastric secretion is associated with the intestinal phase?
10%
Main Instigator of Gastric secretion:
Cephalic?
Gastric?
Intestinal?
Cephalic-> vagus
Gastric-> local reflex, vagal reflex, gastrin
Intestinal-> nervous and hormonal
The vagal efferents tend to innervated the gut at the (blank) however the vagus affarents lie in the (blank).
nerve plexus enteric plexus (or plexus independent)
What is the main target of all three phases of gastric secretion?
stimulating those G cells to secrete gastrin :)
How can we decrease secretion of acid?
Enterogastric reflexes:
distention, acid in intestine, protein breakdown products and irritation of mucosa will inhibit secretion via ENS and vagal nerves
It seem like what stimulates acid is what inhibits it?
there is a balance, so if we are too acidic, enteric and vagal will sense this etc.
What will acid, fat protein breakdown products, hyper-hypo osmotic fluids make the intestines release?
secretin, somatostatin and CCK
(blank) is important for inhibiting gastric emptying as well as playing a significant role in the emptying of bile from the gallbladder
CCK
VIP and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) inhibit what?
secretion and gastric motility
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)?
endocrine cells (D cells) in the antrum release somatostatin the inhibits gastring and gastric secretion
Where do we find the most parietal cells?
the fundus
What all stimulate parietal cells to secrete acid?
gastrin
Ach
histamine
How do we inhibit gastrin release and inhibition acid secretion in the antrum?
somatostatin
