Q

Secretions

  • parietal cells (stim, inhibit)
  • G cells (stim, inhibit)
  • ECL (stim, inhibit)
  • D cells (stim, inhibit)
  • Chief cells (stim)
A

parietal cells - HCL + IF - stimulated by Ach, gastrin, histamine. inhibited by SS, prostaglandins (PGE1), secretin, CCK.
G cells - gastrin - stimulate by AA, Ach, food (alkaline). inhibited by. inhibited by H+ in the duodeun
ECL- histamine - stimulated by Ach, gastrin. inhibited by SS, H2 blockers
D cells - SS - stimulated by acid. inhibited by vagus
Chief cells - pepsinogen (becomes pepsin by HCl). stimulated by Ach
