Q

What does the pharynx stimulate?

A

Tactile/distension receptors on pharynx send signals to brain stem which sends signals causing the UOS to relax

Eg Ach down phrenic nerve
Reflex contractions of lower oesophageal sphincter

Q

How do we accommodate a large meal?

A

Receptive relaxation of the body of the stomach (corpus)
Brainstem acts on intrinsic nerves in stomach wall, switches off nerves giving stomach tone and switches on nerves that relax

Q

What is released when we have had enough food?

A

At the end of a meal CCK acts on vagal afferent fibres

Lowers appetite and lowers food intake

Q

What delays and controls gastric emptying?

A

Fat rich, hypertonic and acidic meals, and meals with high viscosity all delay gastric emptying

Q

What are the 4 types of cell in the corpus of the stomach?

A

Surface epithelial
Chief cells (zymogen)
Parietal cells
Enterochromaffin like (ecl)

19
Q

What is function of surface epithelial cells in corpus of stomach?

A

Mucus and hco3- secretion

20
Q

What do chief cells / zymogen n the corpus secrete?

A

Pepsinogen which is an auto catalyst - activates its own precursor (zymogen)

21
Q

What s the function of parietal cells in the corpus of the stomach?

A

Acid secreting cells
HCl - sterilising food content and provides pH for Pepsins breaking down food
Intrinsic factor for uptake of B12

22
Q

What is the function of enterochromaffin-like cells in the corpus of the stomach?

A

Histamine - an acid stimulating factor for production of HCl

Endocrine cell

23
Q

What is the muscular part of the stomach?

A

Antrum

24
Q

What are the major cells types n the antrum?

A

Surface epithelial
Some chief cells
G cells
D cells

25
Q

What do G cells in the antrum produce?

A

Gastrin

26
Q

What is the role of gastrin?

A

Activates acid secretion and histamine release

27
Q

What do D cells in the antrum secrete?

A

Somatostatin

28
Q

What is the role of somatostatin?

A

Endogenous inhibitor in the gut

29
Q

What are the cells of the gastric corpus gland?

A

Top= Surface epithelial cells (protective role)
Proliferating cells
Parietal cells - acid secretion
Enterochromaffin-like cells - secrete histamine
Chief cells - secrete pepsinogen to lumen

30
Q

What are acid secreting parietal cells full of?

A

Mitochondria

31
Q

What is H+ exchanged for at the apical surface?

A

K+

32
Q

What channels are there on the apical surface?

A

H+/K+ATPase pump (H+ OUT K+ IN)
K+ channel(K+ OUT)
Cl- channel(Cl- OUT)

33
Q

What is HCO3- exchanged for at basolateral surface?

A

Cl-

34
Q

What channels are there on the basolateral surface?

A

Cl-/HCO3- exchanger ( HCO3- OUT Cl- in)
Na+/K+ exchanger (Na+ OUT K+ IN)
K+ channel (K+ OUT)

35
Q

What is released into the lumen at the apical surface?

A

HCl

36
Q

What is released into the blood at the basolateral surface?

A

NaHCO3

37
Q

What occurs at the cephalic stage of gastric acid secretion?

A

Thought/sight/smell/taste of food initiates Ach and GRP (neural)
Ach —> histamine (paracrine)
GRP —> Gastrin (endocrine)

38
Q

What occurs at gastric phase of gastric acid secretion?

A

Distension of food in stomach —> Ach (neural) and gastrin (endocrine)
Ach —> histamine (paracrine)
Gastrin —> Histamine (paracrine)

39
Q

What happens in the intestinal phase of gastric acid secretion?

A

Distension/food in duodenum —> Ach (neural) and Gastrin from duodenal G cells (endocrine)

Ach—>histamine (paracrine)
Gastrin—>histamine (paracrine)

40
Q

What as acid secretion controlled by?

A

Gastrin and Ach activate histamine secretion of ECL cells which activates secretion of H+ into the gland lumen from parietal cells
Gastrin and Ach also directly activates H+ secretion from parietal cells
Somatostatin is endogenous inhibitor
Noradrenaline, CCK, VIP & CGRP activates D cells which produce somatostatin

41
Q

What controls antral G cell function?

A

Protein/Peptides/amino acids activate G cells
GRP activates G cells to secrete Gastrin into circulation which acts of ECL/Parietal cells in corpus
H+ activates D cells to produce somatostatin which inhibits G cells release of gastrin

42
Q

What is helicobacter pylori associated with in the antrum?

A

Decreases somatostatin secretion
Increases Gastrin secretion
Increases acid secretion
—> duodenal and peptic ulcer disease

43
Q

What s helicobacter pylori associated with in the antrum and corpus?

A

Increases gastrin
Decreases acid secretion
—> atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer
