Q

histamine

Study These Flashcards
A

produced by ECL cells

  • released by gastrin, stimulate acid secretion from parietal cells
  • potentiates action of gastrin and ACh on acid secretion
  • binds with H2 receptors
22
Q

Gastrinoma/Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome

Study These Flashcards
A

tumor of pancreas/duodenum
continually release gastrin into blood
results in peptic ulcers, diarrhea, steatorrhea, hypokalemia

23
Q

Pancreatic Cholera

Study These Flashcards
A
  • watery diarrhea syndrome
  • overproduction of VIP due to pancreatic islet cell tumor
  • results in signifiant intestinal secretion of fluid and electrolytes with production of copious diarrhea
  • frequently lethal due to large volume of fluid lost
24
Q

what do parietal cells secrete?

Study These Flashcards
A

HCl: activates pepsinogen to pepsin (this is stimulated after a meal by gastrin and histamine)

IF –> absorbs vit B12

25
Chief/zymogenic cells
Peptic cells: secretes pepsinogen/zymogens
26
Oxyntic glands of stomach
located in fudus/body | Parietal, peptid, mucous cells
27
Pyloric glands
G cell and mucous cells
28
G cells
secrete gastrin: stimulates HCl and pepsinogen release (too much gastrin, drops pH and increases pepsin resulting in ulcers)
29
Alkaline tide
H+ is pumped out into gastric lumen via H+/K+ ATPase Cl- is pumped into parietal cells and gastric lumen via HCO3-/Cl- co transporter, thus directly after eating the blood becomes alkaline
30
M3 Receptors;
respond to ACh secreted from Vagus n. | results in neuronal stimulation of parietal cells --> increased HCl secretion
31
H2 receptors
histamine secreted from ECL cells stimulates parietal cells, thus increasing HCl secretion. Paracrine stimulation
32
CCK receptor
Gastrin is secreted from G cells, works on CCK receptors. stimulates parietal cells and thus increases HCl. this is hormonal
33
Somatostatin
inhibits G cell release of gastrin, inhibits parietal cell release of HCl
34
Gastric inhibitory peptide
inhibits parietal cells in duodenum and jejunum
35
secretin
inhibits gastrin "natures anacid" HCO3- release in duodenum
36
phases of secretion
1. cephalic: reflex sends impulses to medulla oblongata stimulating vagus n. 2. gastric phase: food distends gastric mucosa: stimulates vagus and ENS 3. Intestinal phase: peptides in duodenum stimulate gastrin secretion - secretin released when pH is too low in duodenum, results in HCO3- release CCK: released when fatty food in duodenum, results in bile release
37
Vagotomy
cutting of vagus n. to inhibit gastric acid secretion | used to treat peptic ulcers
38
Pepsinogen
secretion activated by vagus n. via Ach. secreted by Chief cells Is converted to enzyme Pepsin via HCl.
39
Pernicious anemia
results from absence of IF, no B12 absorption, resulting in defective erythrocyte production
40
Components of mucous?
HCO3- in mucous. results in acid being neutralized - If H+ penetrates cells, destroys mast cells, histamine is released, more H+ released resulting in further damage. - damage can be caused by alcohol, H. pylori, bile acids
41
Peptic ucler disease
often asscoated with H. pylori - acid and pepsin break through mucosal barrier, stimulates mast cells to release histamine, results in parietal cells releasing more HCl - can include gastric ulcer disease or duodenal ulcer disease
42
gastric ulcer disease
- assoc. with H. pylori - gastrinoma: too much release of gastrin - prob. with pepsin staying active too long
43
Duodenal ulcer disease
increased acid secretion in gastric region increased pepsin activation pancreatitis: decreased HCO3- secretion
44
Pentagastrin
has similar effect to gastrin, used to challenge people with peptic ulcer problems. gastrinoma/duodenal ulcer --> gastric is already elevated, won't go up much further
45
Gastrinoma/Zollinger-Ellison Syndrom
increased gastrin secretion, at rest and after meals | - results in gastric ulcers
46
Atrophic gastritis
H. pylori infection, results in increased gastric acid
47
Pernicious anemia
Abs produced against parietal cells, results in decreased H+, no gastrin produced, no B12 absorption
48
Omeprazole/Priolosec
proton pump inhibitor decreases H+ release used to treat peptic ulcers can results in pneumonia, C. diff growth, osteoporosis.
49
Xerostomia
dry mouth only absence of saliva production resulting from drugs, radiation, AI disease
50
Sjoren's syndrome
dry mouth and no tears AI targets salivary and lacrimal glands difficulty chewing, swallowing, speech and dental problems
51
ductal cells?
reabsorb Na+, Cl- ; secrete K+ HCO3- in saliva results in hypotonic saliva via NA/K+ ATPase and Cl-/HCO3- exchanger
52
how is saliva controlled?
only through ANS PS: Ach -->M3 receptors --> fluid secretion stimulated by smell, taste, sound site, chewing inhibited by : sleep, fear, antidepreesant meds
