Flashcards in GI, diuretics Deck (68):
1
What is histamine
Naturally occurring endogenous amine, synthesized in tissues (decarboxylation of histadine)
Stored in vesicles of mast cells (skin, lung, gastric mucosa) and basophils
Released in response to antigen-antibody reaction
2
What does histamine regulate?
Regulates gastric acid secretion
Regulations neurotransmission (doesn't easily cross BBB, no CNS effect)
Receptors H1, H2, H3
3
Do H1 and H2 antagonist inhibit the release of histamine or block the response to histamine?
Block the RESPONSE to histamine
4
What are the effects of activating H1?

Vasodilation
Inc capillary permeability
Peripheral nerve sensitization (itching, pain, sneezing)
Heart: found in AV node, slow HR conduction
5
What are the effects of H2?
Found in gastric parietal cells, cardiac muscle, and mast cells

Stomach: activate cAMP, activate proton pump of parietal cells to secrete H ions, gastric acid secretion ->PUD, GERD
6
