Q

Enterochromaffin-like cells (ECL) hormonal control of gastric secretion:

A

-produces Histamine, in vicinity of parietal cells
-stimulated by gastrin, ACh, and gastrin
*histamine and gastrin act synergistically on parietal cells
-inhibited by serotonin

20
Q

Luminal regulators:

A

-stimulate gastrin secretion indirectly
*major trigger is the presence of protein in the antrum

21
Q

What can increase acid output (luminal regulators)?

A

-short peptides
-AAs (especially aromatic AA)
-alcohol
-coffee (including decaffeinated)
-dietary Ca
*not all mechanisms are known

22
Q

What can decrease acid output (luminal regulation?

A

-dietary lipids

23
Q

Helicobacter pylori:

A

-association between it and gastric disease
-chronic infection with different strains leads to hypersecretion or hyposecretion

24
Q

What is hypersecretion associated with? (helicobacter pylori)

A

-duodenal ulcers

25
Q

What is hyposecretion associated with? (helicobacter pylori)

A

-risk of gastric cancers

26
Q

What protects the wall of the stomach?

A

-mucous (physical barrier)
-bicarbonate (chemical)
*H+ would be able to damage epithelium

27
Q

How does the mucous protect the epithelium?

A

-forms an unstirred layer adjacent to the epithelium
>HCO3 becomes trapped and will neutralize H+ ions
>further from the mucus layer the pH decreases as HCO3 decreases

28
Q

Where does HCO3 and mucous come from?

A

-secretory epithelial cell via carbonic anhydrase
-‘non-parietal mucus secreting cell’
*activated by prostaglandins and ANS

29
Q

What do chief cells secret?

A

-pepsinogen
-rennin (proteolytic enzyme)
>digestion of milk

30
Q

Pepsinogen:

A

-precursor (proenzyme) to the enzyme pepsin
-cleaved to pepsin by HCl in the gastric glands and the lumen

31
Q

What regulates chief cells?

A

-ANS and gastric hormones (gastrin, etc.)
>similar to parietal cell

32
Q

What is the source of HCl and its functions?

A

-parietal
*hydrolysis
*activation of zymogens

33
Q

What is the source of intrinsic factor and its function?

A

-parietal cells (humans and pigs)
-exocrine pancreas

A

-cephalic phase
-gastric phase
-intestinal phase

41
Q

Cephalic phase of gastric acid secretion:

A

-30% stimulated by anticipation of eating, smell or taste
-neuronal stimulation (ACh)
-gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP)

A

-60% stimulated by stomach distension and digested proteins (G cells)

43
Q

Intestinal phase of gastric acid secretion:

A

-10% stimulated when chyme enters SI
>SI distension (S cells)
