Q

Mechanism of secretory cells

A

-Driven by Na-K ATPase (charge separation and concentration differences)
1.activation of cell (by VIP or acetylcholine) increases either Ca and/or cAMP, which activates apical Cl channels AND/OR cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR)
2. K channel activation via Ca or CAMP further hyperpolarization of membrane increases force for driving Cl and bicarbonate out of the cell to mucosal side
3.Cl and bicarbonate move out of the cell into the lumen pulling Na paracellularly through incomplete tight junctions to maintain electroneutrality
4.Cl replenished by NKCC transporter; bicarbonate replenished by carbonic anhydrase and protons exiting the basolateral side of the cell through cation exchanger
5. water uses osmotic drive from movement of Na and Cl ions either paracellularly or through tight junctions

A

-precursors for all other cell types

25
Q

Antral mucosa of parietal glands

A

-no chief or parietal cells

26
Q

Parietal cells

A

-Secretes HCl (~150 mM)
-energy required to pump H+ out of parietal call into the lumen
>against concentration gradient 2.5 million fold

27
Q

Chief cells

A

-produce pepsinogen

28
Q

Parietal cell appearance during secretion vs resting

A

-Secretion: apical membrane is amplified by fusion of microvesicles and secretory canaliculi. Also includes increases H, K, and ATPase molecules

29
Q

Gastric secretion from parietal cells

A

1.Cl actively transported from cytoplasm of parietal cell into the lumen of the canaliculus
2. Na actively transported out of canaliculus into the cytoplasm of the parietal cells
3. Water becomes dissociated into H+ and OH- in cytoplasm. H+ is actively secreted into canaliculus in exchange for K+
4. CO2 formed during metabolism or from the blood. Combines with OH- to form HCO3- (from carbonic anhydrase)
5. HCO3- diffuses out of the cell cytoplasm into the extracellular fluid in exchange for Cl coming into the cell

30
Q

Control of HCl secretion in parietal cells

A

1.depends on H/K ATPase (depends on K out)
2.HCl concentration drives water into gastric contents to maintain osmolarity
3.during gastric acid secretion, amount of HCO3- in blood is equal to amount of HCl secreted
4.Alkaline tide= temporary increase in blood pH following meal
5.Omeprazole inhibits excretion of HCl

31
Q

Omeprazole

A

-proton pump inhibitor that prevents excretion of HCl from parietal cells through H/K ATPase
-used in dogs and cats, horses
-prevents frequent heart burn/ulcers
-expensive
-short half life, but one dose decreases acid production for days

32
Q

Neural control of gastric secretion

A

-reflexes contribute to stimulation and inhibition of secretion (Enteric NS)
>Distention of stomach wall is sensed by mechanoreceptors which activates reflexes that stimulate acid secretion from parietal cell
-Also, activation of primary afferents that travel through vagus nerve to the dorsal vagal complex which then triggers response that travels back to stomach and activates parietal cells
**Vagus only plays a small role (can be reduced by atropine)

33
Q

Hormonal control of gastric secretion through parietal cells

A

-Parietal cells: produce gastric acid in response to histamine, acetylcholine, gastrin receptors

34
Q

Hormonal control of gastric secretion through Enterchromaffrin-like cells (ECL)

A

-produce histamine which acts in H2R histamine receptors
-stimulated by gastrin (CCK2 receptors)
-inhibited by somatostatin

35
Q

Neurohumoral control of ghrelin

A

-X cells of stomach corpus
-circulating levels have circadian rhythm
-increased by fasting
-inhibited by SCFA, LCFA, AA

36
Q

Neurohumoral control of motilin

A

-same family as ghrelin
-released during interdigestive period

37
Q

Hormonal control of gastric secretion through G cells

A

-secretes Gastrin in the antrum
-stimulated by vagus which passes information to stomach, and increased amino acids and Ca result in increased gastrin synthesis

38
Q

Hormonal control of gastric secretion through D cells

A

-in the antrum and fundus producing somatostatin
-provides negative feedback on G cells and parietal cells reducing feeding or gastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion

39
Q

Neurohumoral control of GLP-1 and PYY

A

-glucagon -like peptide AND peptide tyrosine-tyrosine
-responsible for ileal brake that occurs in response to fatty acids in the lumen

40
Q

Luminal regulators and gastrin

A

-stimulate gastrin secretion indirectly
-acid output increased by short peptides and amino acids (especially aromatic AA)
-decreased by dietary lipids
-increased secretion by alcohol, coffee, dietary Ca

41
Q

Helicobacter pylori

A

-associated with gastric colonization
-chronic infection can lead to hypersecretion (duodenal ulcers) or hyposecretion (gastric cancers)

42
Q

Non-parietal mucus secreting cells

A

-activated release by prostaglandins and ANS
-protect the wall of the stomach through mucus and bicarbonate (produced by these cells via carbonic anhydrase)
>mucus forms a layer adjacent to epithelium that traps the bicarbonate and allows it to neutralize the H+ ions

43
Q

Chief Cells

A

-secrete pepsinogen (protein digestion) and rennin (proteolytic enzyme to digest milk)
>pepsinogen is cleaved to pepsin by HCl in gastric glands and lumen

44
Q

Chief cell regulation

A

-located in pits of gastric glands
-contains zymogens (proenzymes) which are activated by acid created by parietal cells
-regulation of secretion/exocytosis through acetylcholine, gastrin, and low pH (similar to parietal cell)

45
Q

Intrinsic factor secretion

A

-from parietal cells (humans and pigs) or exocrine pancreas (dogs and cats)

46
Q

Three phases of secretion of gastric acid secretion

A
  1. Cephalic phase
  2. Gastric phase
  3. Intestinal phase
47
Q

Cephalic phase

A

-30% stimulated by anticipation of eating (taste and smell)
-neuronal stimulation (acetylcholine and muscarinic receptors) and gastrin-releasing peptide

48
Q

Gastric phase

A

-60% stimulated by stomach distention and digested proteins detected by G cells

49
Q

Intestinal phase

A

-10% of acid is stimulated when chyme enters the small intestine, and is stimulated by small intestine distention (S cells)
-starts out stimulatory and then inhibits as gastrin levels increase (and cholecystokinin is released from I cells)

50
Q

Anti-ulcer drugs

A

-receptor antagonists (histamine H2-receptor antagonists)
-receptor agonists (acting on prostaglandin E receptor or somatostatin receptor)
-pump inhibitors (H/K proton pump inhibitors; ex. omeprazole)

51
Q

Octreotide

A

-somatostatin analog
-mimics natural somatostatin pharmacology
-injectable, long lasting
-inhibits the release of hormones including gastrin (impact on pancreas, insulin, glucagon, CCK)
