Ward Small and Large intestine (1) Flashcards
duodenal (blank) increases surface area for absorption
folds
Pancreatic exocrine cells are arranged in (blank)
acini
Pancreatic secretions flow into larger (blank).
intralobular ducts
Pancreatic secretions flow into larger intralobular ducts, and into the (blank) which drains directly into the duodenum
pancreatic duct
Embedded within the exocrine tissues are islets of langerhans which secrete what?
insulin, glucagon etc.
What are the four types of pancreatic secretions?
proteolytic enzymes
Pancreatic Amylase
pancreatic lipase
cholesterol esterase
What are the proteolytic enzymes of the pancreas?
trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase
What does pancreatic amylase of the pancreas do?
hydrolyzes starches, glycogen, and other carbs (not cellulose) to di and tri saccharides
What does pancreatic lipase do?
hydrolyzes fat to fatty acids and monoglycerides
What does cholesterol esterase of the pancreas do?
hydrolyzes cholesterol esterases and phospholipase which splits fatty acids from phospholipids
What are the inactive forms of the protolytic enzymes of the pancreas?
trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, procarboxypolypeptidase
(blank) is activated by enterokinase (secreted by mucosa when chyme comes into contact with it) and by trypsin
trypsinogen
How is chymotrypsinogen activated into chymotrypsin?
activated by trypsin
(blank) stops the pancreatic enzymes from degrading the pancreas.
trypsin inhibitor
(blank) it is released from glandular cells and inhibits the activation of trypsin inside secretory cells, in the acini and in the pancreatic duct
trypsin inhibitor
Where is trypsin inhibitor released from?
glandular cells
Where will you find trypsininhibitor be inhibiting stuff?
in secretory cells, acini and pancreatic duct
Explain the release of zymogen granules
protein synthesis via RER-> proteins enter cisternal cavity-> enzymes are condensed into vacuoles-> concentrated enzymes become zymogen granules-> zymogen granule fuses with apical membrane and ruptures to release contents
Enzymes of the pancreas are secreted by (blank)
acini
What 2 things are secreted by the epithelial cells of the ducts from the acini?
bicarb and water
When the pancreas is stimulated to secrete pancreatic juices it also releases (blank)
bicarbonate ions (X5 that of the plasma)
The (blank) and (Blank) concentrations in pancreatic secretion are approx. similiar to that of plasma but (blank) concentration is lower.
Na+ and K+
Cl-
The (blank) ion secretion increase with secretion rate yielding a solution of pH 8.2 in the pancreas.
HCO3-
What is the first proposed mechanisms for secretion of bicarb ions?
Acinar cells secrete Na and Cl
duct cells secrete Bicarb
Differing rates of secretion from these cells results in diff concentration of ions in secretion
What is the second proposed mechanism for secretion of bicarb ions?
Primary secretion; rich in HCO3-. As secretion moves down ducts, primary secretion is modified, HCO3- ions are exchanged for Cl- ions. When flow is fast little exchange takes place.
There are 2 proposed mechanisms for Bicab ion secretion, do they work together or are they independent of one another?
work together
Explain the mechanism of secretion of bicarb
Co2 diffuses from the blood into the cell, this combines with water via carbonic anhydrase= carbonic acid->this dissociates into bicarb and H, H+ is pushed into the blood via Na/H exchanger, and HCO3 is pushed into lumen via HCO3/Cl exchanger. Na diffuses into lumen and water follows.
As secretion rate increases there is a marked increase in (blank) secretion and a decrease in (blank) secretion and (blank) stays steady throughout.
HCO3-
Cl-
Na+
HCO3 secretion is dependent upon availability of luminal (blank) ions which is dependent upon the opening of (blank) channels on the apical membrane.
Cl-
Cl-
What are the four basic stimuli that are important for the stimulus of pancreatic secretion?
ACh, Gastrin, CCK, Secretin
(blank) is released from parasympathetic vagus nerve terminals and nerves in ENS
ACh
(blank) is released during the gastric phase of the stomach.
Gastrin
(blank) is secreted by the duodenal mucosa when food enters the small intestine.
CCK
(blank) is secreted when low pH products enter the small intestine.
secretin
ACh, Gastrin and CCK all stimulate the (blank) of the pancreas to produce large quantities of digestive enzymes, without much fluid, resulting in the build up of enzymes in the acani and ducts.
acinar cells
(blank) stimulates the secretion of large quantities of sodium bicarbonate solution by ductal epithelium, but little enzyme secretion.
Secretin,
ACh released at neural endings in the pancreas cause moderate amounts of enzymes to be secreted into the acini, however only a little flows into the intestine, Why is this?
because of the lack of water in the secretion.
(blank) via the gastric phase also causes relatively little pancreatic secretions.
Gastrin
Pancreatic secretion is increased considerably when chyme enters the duodenum in response to the hormones (Blank and blank)
secretin and CCK
(blank) is released from S cells in the mucosa of the upper small intestine in an inactive form.
secretin
What is the stimulus for release of secretin?
gastric acid and long chain fatty acids
(blank) is the most potent stimulant of secretin, with a threshold for secretin release being 4.5 .After secretin is released from small intestine, it is absorbed into the blood, stimulating the (blank) to release large quantities of fluid and bicarbonate ions.
HCL
pancreas
Does secretin stimulate the acinar cells?
no
Explain how HCl reacts in the intestinal phase?
HCl reacts with NaHCO3 to make NaCl and carbonic acid (H2Co3) which dissociates into H20 and CO2
What happens to the CO2 produced in the reaction of HCl during the intestinal phase?
The CO2 is absorbed into the blood expired in the lungs.
Why does co2 get expired in the lungs during the intestinal phase?
This is a protective mechanism to avoid the digestion of the intestinal mucosa by HCl
Also during the intestinal phase, (blank) secretion also increases the pH of luminal contents which is more optimal for pancreatic enzymes (pH 8)
bicarb secretion
(blank) is released from I cells within the mucosa of the duodenum and upper jejunum. The stimulant that causes the release of CCK appears to be (blank and blank) (products of partial protein and long chain fatty acid digestion
CCK
proteoses and peptones
