Q

What cell produces intrinsic factor

19
Q

What cell produces thick visible mucus

A

Surface mucus

20
Q

What cell produces pepsinogen

21
Q

What cell produces HCL

22
Q

What cell produces gastrin

23
Q

What cell produces gastric lipase

24
Q

Which layer within the ME is not always present

25
What is the surface epithelium of the stomach
Simple columnar
26
Isthmus cells produce what
Thick, visible mucus that traps bicarbonate ions. Alkaline
27
What is the function of isthmus cells
To protect mucosa from auto-digestion and the rougher components of chyme
28
What are DNES cells
Enteroendocrine cells
29
What is a type D DNES cell do
Produces somatostatin, inhibits release of hormones by nearby DNES cells and HCL release
30
Type EC DNES cells produce
Serotonin and substance P: increases gut motility
31
What do type G DNES cells do
Produce gastrin, stimulates HCL and pepsinogen secretion, gastric motility, and regenerative cells in body of stomach TQQQQQQQQQ
32
What do neck cells do
Neck mucous cells- produce a soluble, less alkaline mucus. FUnction- to lubricate gastric contents
33
What do regenerative cells do
Replace all cell types!
34
What do parietal (oxyntic) cells do
Add odd columnar cells with intracellular canaliculi Produce strong HCL, made a .8ph and buffer to 1-2ph Intrinsic factor
35
Intrinsic factor is necessary for
Vitamin B12 absorption
36
What is chronic gastritis can lead to pernicious anemia
Low number of parietal cells can lead to low amounts of intrinisic factor which will decrease vitamin B12 absorption which is necessary for RBC maturation
37
What chief cells produce
Pepsinogen to break down proteins Some gastric lipase to break down fats
38
What cells live at the Base of the stomach
Chief Parietal DNES
39
What cells live at the neck
Neck mucus cells Regenerative cells Parietal
40
What cells live at the isthmus
Surface mucous DNES
41
What cells are in the pyloric region of the stomach
Primarily surface mucus, DNES and parietal cells Some neck mucous cells that also produce some lysozyme
42
What is the pyloric sphincter
The anatomical sphincter between the pylorus of the stomach and the duodenum
43
What are the characteristics of an anatomical sphincter
1. Well developed inner circular layer of muscle in ME | 2. Inner circular layer in ME can be independently controlled
44
What are the two causes of peptic ulcer disease
1. Damage to mucus coat 2. Too much HCL and pepsin Helicobacter pylori
