Q

major roles of the stomach

A
  • reservoir
  • adjust osmolality of conents
  • antrum= grinding
  • pylorus= regulates the size of particles
  • secretion of acid

Q

Gastric motility

A
  1. relaxation of fundus
  2. contraction of body and antrum
  3. pylorus contracts= to limit exit of chyme
  4. mixing by retrupulsion

Q

what is required for normal gastric emptying

A

in tact antrum, pylorus duodenum
normal vagal function
normal hormonal function

(positive feedback from duodenum)

Q

what causes delayed gastric emptying

A

diabetic gastroparesis

  • due to autonomic neuropathy
  • leads to variable rate of glucose absorption
  • upper abdominal discomfort

drugs that delay gastric emptying
- eg anti-cholinergic drugs

Q

what causes rapid gastric emptying

A

after gastric surgery

  • “dumping syndrome” = nausea, vomiting, cramping, diarrhoea
  • food moves too quickly from stomach to duodenm so are not completely digested
  • undigested particles result in hyperosmolar chyme in small bowel
  • this causes a rapid fluid shift into the gut causing intestinal distension=pain
  • diarrhoea due to osmotic effect

drugs that speed up gastric eptying
- eg metaclopramide

Q

what is the role of gastric acid in the stomach

A
  • sterilise
  • digestion (denatures proteins)
  • helps with absorption of b12 and iron

absent or low gastric acid

can be a result of pernicious anaemia

11
Q

how do the proton pumps in parietal cells work

A
  • H+ is actively pumped out of cells and into the stomach
  • in exchange K+ enters the cell
  • HCO3- is formed in the cell and transported out into the bloodstream
  • in exchange Cl- enters the cell
  • HCl formed

Q

why does Cl- enter the cel after HCO3- moves out

A

to keep the pH and osmolarity in equilibrium

Q

what happens when the parietal cell secretes HCl

A

the tubulovesicles fuse with canaliculus

increased SA and numbers of H+/K+ ATPase

increased acid secretion into gut lumen

16
Q

autocrine

A

molecule that targets itself

17
Q

paracrine

A

targets adjacent cells

18
Q

endocrine

A

released into circulation to target distant cells

19
Q

where are ecl cells located and what do they secrete

A

located in body of stomach

secrete histamine

20
Q

what does histamine do

A

paracrine

stimulates acid secretion from adjacent parietal cells

21
Q

what releases Ach

A

vagus nerve and enteric neurons

22
Q

what does Ach stimulate

A
  1. parietal cells to stimulate HCl
  2. ECL cells to release histamine–> stimulates parietal
  3. G cells to release gastrin –> stimulates parietal and ECL
23
Q

where are D cells located

A

in the antrum of the stomach

24
Q

what do D cells do

A

secrete somatostatin which is paracrine and endocrine

- inhibit acid secretion by acting on adjacent G cells and inhibiting gastrin release

25
what do G cells do
secrete gastrin which is an endocrine hormone stimuates acid secretion indirectly via ECL cells goes into circulation and binds to ECL cells which secrete histamine which stimulates parietal cells to release HCl
26
where are G cells located
in the antrum of thes tomach
27
what is the cepahlic phase
initiated by the thought, sight , smell of food mediated by the vagus nerve through neurotransmitter Ach which directly stimulates the parietal cell to release HCl
28
what is the gastric phase
distension of both the body and the antrum causes acid secretion mediated by the vagus nerve protein in the antrum (mainly breakdown products eg aas) stimulates G cells to secrete gastrin
29
what is the intestinal phas
inhibition of acid secretion - HCl in antrum causes D cells to release somatostatin which inhibits V cells from releasing gastrin Also HCl in duodenum stimulates S cells to release secretin which inihibits gastric acid and gastric emptying and stimulates pancreatic HCO3- secretion to neuralise acid Partially digested fats and proteins in the duodenum stimulate CCK which inhibits gastric acid and gastric emptying
30
what are the 2 functions of CCK
- partially digested fats and proteins in the duodenum stimulate CCK which inhibits gastric acid and gastric empting - stimulates release of pancreatic enzymes and gall bladder contraction to release bile
