27
Somatostatin is produced by .... cells throughout the stomach at the base of the .... glands
D gastric
28
histamine is secreted by ....-like cells
enterochromaffin
29
... is responsible for the production of HCl
carbonic anhydrase
30
... is the strongest HCl stimulant
histamine
31
histamine release can be triggered by ... or ...
gastrin Ach
32
... and ... can have direct effects on parietal cells
gastrin and Ach
33
in all cases of input to parietal cells, activation of receptors results in ... activation that increases the ability of parietal cell s to release H+ and Cl-
second messenger
34
... is a potent inhibitor of HCl secretion
somatostatin
35
somatostatin has 2 mechanisms in which it can inhibit HCl secretion from the parietal cell
- G cell | - D cell
36
the cephalic phase is triggered through ..... of food and activates the ... and production of ... (also mechanical stimulation from chewing and swallowing)
sigh, smell, taste of food PNS Ach
37
the gastric phase is triggered by ..., presence of proteins, peptides and amino acids. this increases.... secretion
distension gastrin
38
the intestinal phase initially enhances ... secretion but later in digestion, the intestinal phase is ....
HCl inhibitory
39
in the intestinal phase, when the pH of chyme is less than 3, ... is produced
secretin

what 2 things prevent HCl and pepsin from degrading gastric tissue
mucus HCO3- production from gastric epithelial cells
42
pepsinogen is produced by ... cells and ... helps to cleave it to pepsin
chief HCl
43
pepsinogen is a ... meaning it is a proenzyme that needs to be cleaved to become active
zymogen
44
... is a hormone produced by intestinal cells that inhibit the secretion or motility in the stomach.
enterogastrone | secretin and CCK too

46
pancreas is important in the secretion of ...
trypsinogen
47
... converts trypsinogen to trypsin
enteropeptidase
48
CCK secretion is potentiated by ...
secretin
49
an increase in intestinal fatty acids and amino acids will cause an increase in ... secretion in the small intestine, leading to increased ... in plasma, leading to increase enzyme secretion in the pancreas leading to increased flow of enzymes into the SI and increased digestion of fats and proteins--> absorption
CCK CCK

liver bile canaliculi
52
the liver synthesizes about .... of bile salts a day but, .... of bile salts are secreted a day
20-60 mg 1200-3600 mg
53
more bile salts are secreted than synthesized because they are ... though the enterohepatic circulation
recycled
54
increased CCK will cause the gall bladder to .... to increase bile flow into the common bile duct and it will also cause .... of the sphincter of Oddi to increase bile flow into duodenum
contract relaxation
55
2 types of smooth muscle contractions in the small intestine
peristalsis segmentation
56
... is described as progressive contractions of successive sections of circular smooth muscle
peristalsis
57
... is described as closely spaced contractions of the circular muscle layer. when this is rhythmic (contract/relax) chyme is mixed and slowly moved downward
