Q

Saliva and the absorption of Vit B12:

A

-produces a glycoprotein that binds B12
>protects it from the stomach acidity
>released in duodenum so B12 can be absorbed

Q

Salivary gland ‘pathway’:

A

-secretions from acinar cells are connected by a series of ducts
-converge into an intercalated duct
-drains into excretory ducts
-converges into a main duct
*2 stage model

19
Q

Composition of the main ions in saliva change as the:

A

-flow rate is increased

20
Q

What is the basal (unstimulated) secretion from the submaxillary and parotid of non ruminants?

A

-hypotonic
*as flow increases, Na, Cl, and HCO3 increase at maximal flow rates=becomes isotonic

21
Q

Ruminant saliva at any rate is:

A

-isotonic

22
Q

Saliva vs. plasma:

A

-saliva at all flow rates hypotonic to plasma
-HCO3- in saliva is higher than plasma except at very low rates

23
Q

What else can saliva contain?

A

-alpha-amylase (except carnivores and ruminants)
-small amounts of lipase
-lysozymes (antibacterial)

24
Q

What are the ionic composition differences in saliva in different species at maximal flow?

A

*ruminants have higher HCO3- and K+, makes it more alkaline

25
Q

What are the ionic composition differences in saliva in parotid and submandibular gland in ruminants at maximal flow?

A

-Na+ and HCO3- are much higher in the parotid gland

26
Q

Primary secretion of saliva contains:

A

-amylase and electrolytes produced in the acinar cell
-concentrations of electrolytes is comparable to plasma

27
Q

Modification of primary salvia as it passes through ducts:

A

-Na and Cl are absorbed
-K and HCO3 are secreted
*pH will increase before salvia is released

28
Q

What are the 4 secretory areas of the stomach?

A

-esophageal stomach
-cardia
-fundic
-pyloric

29
Q

Esophageal stomach:

A

-lined by stratified squamous epithelium
-no mucus, acid or enzymes produced
-very large in dog, pig and cow

30
Q

Cardia:

A

-glandular
-invaginations in the submucosa forming short glands
-lined by simple columnar cells that produce thick mucus and buffer
-very large in pig
-small in dog
-absent in cow

31
Q

Fundic:

A

-‘stomach’
-deep invaginations in the submucosa
-lined by cells that produce ACID, proteolytic enzymes, hormones and mucus
-seen in all mammals

32
Q

Pyloric stomach:

A

-moderately deep glands
-lined by epithelial cells that produce mucus and buffers, not acid or enzymes
-enteroendocrine cells (G cells that produce gastrin in response to distension or increased pH)
-sphincter at end

33
Q

Parietal glands contain a variety of cell types including:

A

-parietal cells
-chief cells
-endocrine cells
-D cells
-mucus cells

40
Q

What happens to the apical membrane of parietal cells during secretion?

A

-amplified by fusion of the microvesicles and secretory canaliculi
>accompanied by increased density of H+, K+ and ATPase molecules

41
Q

-Ca2+

42
Q

What does histamine use to signal?

A

-cAMP

43
Q

What is needed to pump H+ into the lumen of canaliculus?

A

-energy

44
Q

What are the steps of gastric secretion from the parietal cells?

A
  1. Cl actively transported from parietal cell to lumen of canaliculus
  2. Na actively transported out of canaliculus
  3. Water becomes dissociated into H+ and OH- (b/c weak acid)
  4. H+ secreted into canaliculus in exchange for K+
  5. CO2 (from metabolism or blood) combines due to carbonic anhydrase with OH to form HCO3-
  6. HCO3- diffuses out of parietal cell into ECF in exchange for Cl-
45
Q

What controls the gastric secretion form parietal cells?

A
  1. H+/K+ ATPase (depends on the K+ going out)
  2. Inhibited by omeprazole
    *[HCl] drives water into gastric contents to maintain osmolarity
    *Amount of HCO3- in blood = amount of HCl secreted
46
Q

Omeprazole:

A

-proton pump inhibitor (H+/K+ ATPase)
-used to treat frequent heart burn
-used for dogs and cats

47
Q

What does ‘alkaline tide’ refer to?

A

-temporary increase in blood pH following a meal
