Q

where is secretin produced and what does it do?

A

it is produced in the duodenum and it reduces gastric acid secretion and increases HCO3 from pancreas

25
what are the 3 phases of gastric activity
cephalic phase, gastric phase and intestinal phase
26
what are the 3 different parts of the cephalic phase?
mechanical (chewing), chemical (taste, smell) and psychic (visual, emotional)
27
what are the 2 parts of gastric phase
mechanical (distension) and chemical (food in stomach)
28
what are the 2 parts of the intestinal phase?
mechanical (distension) and chemical (acid, protein in duodenum)
29
where is the cephalic phase?
head
30
where is the gastric phase?
intra-gastric
31
where is the intestinal phase?
intestine
32
what is the cephalic phase controlled by?
nerves (long reflex)
33
what is the gastric phase controlled by?
nerves (long and short reflexes) and hormones (gastrin)
34
what is the intestinal phase controlled by?
nerves (long and short reflexes), hormones (GIP, secretin)
35
what does the small intestine secrete?
intestinal juice
36
what are the motility movements of the small intestine
mixing, villus movements, segmentation contractions and peristalsis
37
what controls the small intestine?
mainly local nerves (short reflexes) in response to intra-luminal stimuli
38
when and where is secretin released from
duodenum in response to acid
39
what does secretin do?
stimulates secretion of bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juice
40
what stimulates bicarbonate secretion in the cephalic phase
vagus nerve
41
what stimulates bicarbonate secretion in the gastric phase?
vagus nerve
42
what stimulates bicarbonate secretion in the intestinal phase?
secretin and CCK and VIP
43
what stimulates enzymes in the cephalic phase?
vagus nerve
44
what stimulates enzymes in the gastric phase
vagus nerve
45
what stimulates enzymes in the intestinal phase?
CCK and gastrin and GIP
46
when and where is CCK released?
from duodenum in response to fat and protein
47
what does CCK do?
stimulates secretion of enzyme-rich pancreatic juice
48
what stimulates the secretion of bile and how?
vagus nerve by the relaxation of sphincter of Oddi
49
what stimulates the secretion of bile in the intestinal phase?
CCK and secretin
50
what stimulates the secretion of bile in the gastric phase?
vagus nerve
51
what secretions come from the large intestine and rectum?
mucous and some water and electrolytes
52
what are the motility movements in the large intestine and rectum?
mixing, mass movements (super peristalsis), defaecation
53
what are mixing/segmentation movements controlled by?
long reflexes
54
how are long reflexes triggered/
by food entering the stomach
55
where does the stimulation of long reflexes effect?
intestines (increased motility)
56
where does the gastro-ileal reflex effect?
ileum (increased motility)
57
where does the gastro-colic reflex effect?
colon (increased motility)
58
what is the control in the large intestine and rectum?
mainly neural, ANS, vagus to splenic flexure
59
what controls the pelvic nerves
S2,3,4
60
what controls the anal canal
ANS control of internal anal sphincter, voluntary control of external sphincter, sacral somatic nerves
