Q

What stimulates the release of somatostatin?

A

Acid in stomach

17
Q

What does somatostatin inhibit?

A

Gastric acid secretion

17
Q

What stimulates the release of gastrin?

A

Ach
Peptides and AAs

18
Q

What is the function of gastrin?

A

Stimulates gastric acid secretion?

19
Q

What cells produce gastrin?

A

G cells

20
Q

What cells produce gastric lipase?

A

Chief cells

21
Q

What cells produce histamine?

A

ECL cells

22
Q

What stimulates the release of histamine?

A

Ach
Gastrin

23
Q

What is the function of histamine?

A

Stimulates gastric acid secretion

24
Q

How is acid secreted by parietal cells?

A

Cl- is brought into the cell from the blood in exchange for bicarbonate.
Cl- diffuses into lumen
H+ is pumped into and K out of lumen by H/K ATPase

25
Q

What intestinal factors inhibit HCl secretion?

A

Secretin
GIP

26
Q

How do prostaglandins, epidermal growth factor, and transforming growth factor affect stomach secretion?

A

Inhibit HCl secretion

27

A

H pylori infection
NSAID use
Cigarette smoking
