25
What does atropine block?
all muscarinic receptors, decreases acid secretion, not 100% block
26
True or False? Cimetidine stops secretion completely.
F. reduces
27
This is the only drug that 100% blocks the pump so there is no H+ secretion.
Omeprazole
28
Gastrin, acetylcholine, and histamine exhibit:
potentiation, secretory respons fo 2 is greater than the individual responses summed
29
True or False? The 3 phases of acid secretion cannot happen concurrently.
F. can happen all at once
30
Cephalic phase of acid secretion is via:
the vagus, extrinsic nerve, leads to acetylcholine release
31
Is there (direct, indirect, or both) secretion of H+ in cephalic phase?
both
32
Food inhibits this so that G cells will be stimulated, thereby secreting H+.
somatostatin
33
a pH under __ will inhibit gastrin release.
3
34
What stops the release of gastrin?
increase in pH due to food entering stomach
35
True or False? The vaso-vagal reflex leads to decreased G-cells and parietal cell secretion.
F. increased
36
This neurotransmitter is involved in the local response:
acetylcholine, stimulate G cells or parietal cells to secrete
37
Substances that stimulate parietal cells or G cells in the lumen of the intestines:
amino acids, proteins, caffeine, calcium, ethanol
38
Food in the stomach act on these cell types:
G cells and parietal cells
39
3 ways proteins can cause acid release:
g cells in the duodenum release gastrin that will signal increase acid secretion in stomach, protein stimulate endocrine cells, amino acids in the blood can circulate back and stimulate parietal cells
40
Stimulation of the vagus because of chewing, swallowing, smell, or taste can lead to the release of:
GRP or acetylcholine
41
Distention that triggers local reflexes uses this neurotransmitter:
acetylcholine
42
Both __ and __ G cells can lead to the release of gastrin.
gastric and intestinal
43
4 stimuli of parietal cells:
acetylcholine, gastrin, circulating amino acids, histamine
44
What does the decrease in pH of the stomach after all the food is gone stimulate?
somatostatin release which inhibits gastrin release
45
List 3 enterogastrones:
Secretin, CCK, and GIP
46
What effect do enterogastrones have?
inhibit parietal and G cells
47
True or False? GERD is life threatening.
T
48
How long does it take for food to go down the esophagus?
8 sec
49
Does pressure increase or decrease at the LES?
decrease
50
True or False? The esophageal peristaltic wave is due to spontaneous muscle activity.
F. Vagal nuclei in brainstem
51
What activates the second wave contraction in the esophagus?
stretch receptors in the esophagus activate a reflex stimulation via the vagus
52
LES opening and closing:
LES is normally closed. Before the pressure wave, the vagus signals the LES to relax and makes sure to send extra ACh after the opening to make sure it closes.
53
3 neurotransmitters of the myenteric and submucosal plexus:
Relaxation: VIP and NO, contraction: Acetylcholine
54
Neurotransmitters of the myenteric and submucosal plexus that are neurotransmitter sympathetic or parasympathetic:
purinergic
55
When are VIP/ NO released?
Inhibitory motor neurons are signaled by the vagus and have receptors for acetylcholine which then release VIP or NO
56
True or False? CCK causes contraction of the stomach.
F. relaxation, leading to food storage
57
True or False? If a meal is present in the stomach there is more calcium and more contractions.
T
58
How is slow wave electrical information being passed from cell to cell?
gap junctions
59
2 ways to control gastric peristalsis:
Vagal stimulaiton via acetylcholine OR gastrin
60
How does gastrin affect calcium?
raises levels in the smooth muscle cells
61
True or False? Vagal stimulation via acetylcholine and gastrin release can both occur just by thinking about food.
T
62
Fats inhibit gastric emptying via:
CCK
63
Acids inhibit gastric emptying via:
purinergic stimulation
64
How can vagal stimulation affect gastric emptying?
deviation from isotonicity lowers vagal stimulation and inhibits gastric emptying
65
What type of stimulation does H+ in the duodenum lead to?
purinergic stimulation leading to the relaxation of the sphincter
66
True or False? Osmoreceptors causing the vagus not to release as much acetylcholine is a purinergic response.
F
67
Fats in the duodenum cause the stomach to:
relax
68
True or False? Vomiting is activated by the stimulation of smooth muscle.
F. skeletal muscle
69
Where is the vomiting center?
at the pons-medulla junction
70
True or False? Control of vomiting is via both the CNs and the spinal cord.
T. proximal GI organs, diaphragm and abdominal muscles
71
What happens in the stomach during vomiting?
stomach doesn't contract much more and becomes looser, strong contraction of abdominal muscles propels the food
