Cards

Term
Mucous neck cells
Definition
secrete mucins
- Makes a mucus layer to protect the epithelial cells from the gastric acid
- Epithelial cells secrete HCO3 that becomes trapped in mucus & makes mucus pH be 7
Term
Parietal cells
Definition
secrete HCl
- Pumps H+ against the conc gradient with H+K+ ATPase enzyme on their membranes
o Each H+ into stomach is traded for a K+ into parietal cell
- Have receptors for histamine, gastrin, & acetylcholine
Term
Chief cells
Definition
secrete pepsinogen
- Pepsinogen turns into pepsin in acidic environment (inactive at 4 pH)
- Pepsin cuts proteins/polypeptides
Term
Enteroendocrine cells
Definition
secrete 4 hormones:
- Histamine (activate parietal cells)
- Serotonin (stimulates stomach contraction & gut molitity)
- Gastrin (stimulate parietal cells to secrete HCl)
- Somatostatin (inhibits gastrin’s effects)
Term
Pharmaceutics
Definition
how the drug is designed and formulated to be a stable and safe medication
- Eg: Capsule, tablet, IV, cream, etc
Term
Pharmacokinetics (PK)
Definition
rate & extent of drug absorption, distribution, & elimination from body
- Eg: insulin is rapidly absorbed
Term
Phamacodynamics (PD)
Definition
molecular interaction of drug with receptor
- Eg: binds to insulin receptors in myocytes
Term
Pharmacology
Definition
how the drug interacts with the body to produce biological/physiological effect
- Eg: assists muscle cells in glucose uptake from blood
Term
Therapeutic index
Definition
: ratio between min dose that is toxic for 50% people and min dose that is effective for 50% - higher the index, the safer the drug
Term
Addition
Definition

2 different drugs with same effect combined will be the sum of the 2 apart

 

2  +  3  =   5

Term
Synergism
Definition
2 different drugs with same effect combined will be HIGHER than sum of the 2 apart
2 x 3 = 6
Term
Potentiation
Definition
when an ineffective drug increased the effect of an effective drug

0 + 3 = 3 3
