Q
What do: 
-Mucus neck cells 
-Chief cells 
-Parietal cells 
all secrete?
A

Mucus neck : Mucus
Chief cells: Secretes pepsinogens
Parietal cells: Secretes HCL and makes intrinsic factor

Q

How does HCL form in the stomach?

A

CO2 diffuses and combines w H2O –>H2CO3 witht he help of carbonic anhydrase . –> This product is short lived as it breaks into HCO3 and H ion. –> as a result theH ion is pumped out and K ion is moved in through a pump. –> HCO3 on the other hand moves to blood through a CL-HCO3 pump and the later leaves the cell to form HCL with water in the paracellular pathway. HCO3 causes blood to slightly alkalise as well.

Q

Ach acts on what receptors and what does that do

A

Muscarinic receptors that allow Ca in cell and act on protein kinase to pump H out of cell

Q

What are enterogastrones?

A

Hormones released fom gland cells in duodenal mucosa such as : Secretin, Cholecystokinin (CCK) and GIP.
These are released in response to acid, hypertonic solutions, fatty acids or monoglycerides in duodenum

Q

What is a zymogen?

A

An inactive precursor

17
Q

What is pepsinogen secreted by

A

Chief cells

18
Q

What is gastric mucus produced by

A

Surface epithelial cells and mucus neck cells

19
Q

What does gastric mucus protect from

A
  • Protects mucosal surface from mechanical injury

- Protects against gastric acid corrosion and pepsin digestion by secreting HCO3

20
Q

What is the only non compensated function of the stomach?

A

Intrinsic factor production

21
Q

What produces intrinsic factor

A

Parietal cells

22
Q

What does pernicious anaemia cause?

A

Failure of erythrocyte maturation
